most guys with consistent body attack are slower than top flight opponents and use it to break them down and limit their ability to use their legs
that's the silliest thing i've heard today..
don't throw to the body because your opponent is faster than you are?
wlad couldnt work haye's body effectively
that doesn't mean he shouldn't have tried, or that other men would not have been able to work the body because of hay's handspeed
it was relatively easy to make haye get off balance because of the nature of his offense
wladimir could have easily implemented some sort off attack to the body, most likely just banging him to the body with a free hand and walking him to the ropes, considering that he's not a body punching wiz or anything
the criticism aimed at him for his complete disregard for the body of an opponent whose strategy was based on movement is spot on
