Vitali Klitschko would beat Haye, Easily..

Heavy

comment on the article

First of all, I'm a David Haye fan. I think he is exciting and has great technique which will help him go far in the Division, as weak as it is.
But for people to suggest that he is ready for a shot at Klitschko NOW is obsurd, because Haye has NEVER fought anyone on his level.
The Fight has Bowe Vs Hide written all over it, David Haye would start well in my opinion but would struggle once Klitschko landed on Haye's suspect Chin and made his size difference matter.
Top and Bottom, Haye isnt ready for Klitschko and in my opinion wouldnt last Six rounds.........

Well if *your're* convinced what on earth was everyone thinking ?
------------------------------------
Hmmmm ok, not that im a fan of people pointing out spelling and punctuation on here, but well done in your sarcastic attempt to highlight a correctly literated word, and spelling it wrong.

Now onto boxing, rather than be a sarcastic prat, what exactly do Vitali and Wlad do well? Blistering hand speed? I think not? Monsterous power? No more than any other massively overweight fighters. Solid defence? Both have been stopped by both past their prime and low level fighters.

I paraphrase Darlo_tom_5 ''What do Vitali and Wlad do well? Great handspeed, great power? I think not...both have been stopped by past their prime and low level fighters''...
-------------------------------

I respectfully suggest that you miss the point.
Neither I nor anyone else are claiming that either Klitschko is a hugely talented fighter like the great ones of yesterday.
What they happen to be are huge athlectic men, 6' 7'' to 6'8'', fighting weight 247 to 249lbs of lean fast twitch muscle. [ By fast twitch, I mean muscle designed for explosive movement, not bulky bodybuilder type ala Frank Bruno]
Overweight these guys aint!
They may not be spectacular, but are very effective with good technique.
All us brain washed morons recognize that these attributes combine to make them incredibly hard to beat, particularly, Big Bro Vitali.

And one more correction, Vitali has never been stopped by a past his prime and low level fighter.
Yrs ago, Vitali retired hurt, with a badly dislocated shoulder in a WBO Title defence fight against Chris Byrd..incidentially,that made him doubly determined to fight thru that horrendous cut sgainst my man Lennox..

Wlad on the other hand ran out of gas, and was stopped in one of his early fights as a pro. His opponent was a tough, hard punching yank journeyman...his name escapes me.

Bottom line is it is extremely doubtful that the Hayemaker has the attributes to beat either.
He may however prove us wrong against Wlad.
Against Vitali,he has little chance.

In this under talented division, anyone could beat anyone else.
I like Haye but always worry for pumped up crusiers.

The Klitscheko brothers stand no chance against Hayes. I PROMISE YOU THAT! The heavyweight division is very poor at the minute. Hayes is very quick and strong. Nither Klitscheko will stand a chance. Hayes is the next big thing in heavy weight boxing. He will clean up that division, unless Lewis comes out of retirement... Still Lewis would have a job on his hands at his age.

Just watch Hayes go.....

My man Lennox aint coming back. His women...mother, Violet and wife, also named Violet[Awfully fond of that name aint you Lennox] will bust the backside of any fool trying to tempt him back!
I have one worry though..that fat slob Riddick Bowe is embarking on a comeback. There is a lot of personal animosity between them, and Lennox has always said if given the opportunity, he would love to beat the little that is left out of Bowe. I hope that was just talk......

Klitsko will destroy Holyfield, these eastern euopeans are superb human speciemens and it will take more than hype and shape throwers to take the title, Haye is a good fighter, but out of his depth, Peters thought he was all that, but he had manners put on him. It's great to see the Eastern European connection being further renewed at Chelsea. After the second world war, Chelsa hosted Dinamo Moscow and the match ended 3-3 and was watched by an estimated 125,000 people, then Abramovich came in at the turn of the millenium and now Klitscko may fight there. There is definitely a connection and it's good to see, because so many just seem to turn to the states and the hype! Don't believe the hype!!! America is bankrupt! Russia's and the east have got the goodies and the momentum, welcome your comrades from the east, I can't wait to see the Klitscko fight!

By the way Klitscko was ahead on all the judges scorecards when the ref. stopped the fight against Lennox because of the cut, and Lennox was tiring fast..Lennox got out when he did because I believe he knew Klitscko would have beaten him in a rematch.

Comment by LondonsFinestClub.....Not Arsenal I hope....
Vlad was ahead on points when the fight was stopped, but I seem to remember that he was tiring more than Lennox. He had also been rocked by a huge uppercut which would have stretched any other heavyweight[ If that shot couldn't ko him,Haye's hayemaker would barely tickle him!] All prejudice aside, the common consensus was that Lennox was starting to come on strong and would have got to Klitschko who was not used to long hard fights, in the latter rounds.
And yes Lennox knew his time was up.He had nothing left to prove. Why hang around to mess with a 6'8'' man killer 7yrs younger than him. Damn right. His Mother did not raise no fools! Anyway, this is all history. Right now it is all about what Haye can do with the Klitschkos
