That picture might as well be predicting the future. Just switch out Brock for Haye and that's what it's gonna look like.

yeah no doubt. There's always that sliver of possibility though, given with the fact wlad's been KO'd a few times.

 

[EVERgREENRIDER]

Ive alaways liked wlad. Hes gonna crush that punk hayes

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

So Wlad pulling out again with that abdominal injury was fake then?
He was supposed to fight Chisora. I wonder what they are going to do about it. Time for some step aside money...

No step aside money needed. Chisora was a voluntary defense, not mandatory, and I can almost guarantee a basic injury clause was in the contract. No real proof that it's fake even though everyone knows it.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Ya it was just confusing at first.
He pulls out due to the same injury and then that same day the next article is about him fighting Haye in Germany. He didn't even give it 24 hours to make it sound like less bullshit.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

that chisora guy is a bum anyway waste of time

 

[T-Rip]

Hopefully Haye applys enough pressure so Klitscko doesn't get to comfortable standing in front of him, the reach/height difference may be a bit much though. Still think them ogors just don't know how to react if you have a high work rate against them

 

[2-0-Sixx]

wlad does not like getting hit at all he kinda freaks out sometimes when he does

 

[dookie1]

Im not a haye "fan", but i think he can pull it off!!! Based on his greater mobility, and Ability to punch out of the ropes..... Side note, Wlad looks like he has more than a 3 inch height advantage!!!


Cant wait for the fight!!!

 

[CHRISHOGGALYPSE]

There wasn't an option on the poll for one of them pulling out before it happens so I didn't vote.

Haye is a big puncher and more mobile. Wlad is pretty one dimensional for sure but it's not like Haye has really shown that he has superior technique to beat a guy this size that rarely loses rounds. Wlad used to get hit more and he was hit by some giant dudes, been knocked out before but so what? Lennow Lewis was knocked out a couple times too but I wouldn't give Haye a chance at beating him in his prime.

I think Wlad beats the piss out of Haye and maybe considers retirement after that. Who else is there? Adamek? Really? MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYBE if Solis beats Vitali he'd fight him but that seems like a stretch right now.

You guys do you know that the contract states that he could fight either of the Klitschko brothers. I'm calling it now Haye will not be fighting bitch ass Wlad he will be fighting Dr. Iron Fist. Don't be scared Wlad fight Haye..

 

[2-0-Sixx]

He's fighting Wlad.

Vitali has a fight with Solis this month, I doubt his 39 year old would want to get back into the ring so quickly.

Plus Wlad canceled the Chisora fight specifically for David Haye. Wouldn't make sense to cancel that fight if Vitali was going to fight Haye.

 

[heyzel]

I have confidence in Haye if he can rock a 7ft+ Valuev, then I’m pretty sure he can rock a smaller vlad. Also, Look at Vladimir’s last fight against Samuel Peter, Vlad got rocked by a wide punch from Peter, and Peter is a lot slower than Haye!

 

[2-0-Sixx]

that jab is a monster though, it's so difficult to get inside and actually hit wlad

I think Haye just needs to go full beast mode round 1. Just rush him and dont' even allow wlad to get into a grove. Just sprint over to him as soon as the bell rings and just start beastin lol go for broke immediately

I'll be going for Haye 100% I like his personality, his style and I'm tired of the Klitschko's. I just don't think it's gonna happen.

 

[bigface]

206-Then why would they sign a contract that's open for Haye to fight either of the brothers?? If Wlad really want to fight Haye then he would sign the contract and leave his brother off of it. Haye will be fighting Dr. Iron Fists.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

I don't know man that's how the two-headed monster operates. They are pretty shady with their contracts. I just personally don't see 39 year old Vitali fighting again so soon after Solis, but I guess I wouldn't put anything past them.

To be safe, lets pray to the boxing gods that Solis in the very least gives Vitali a terrible cut, one that requires several months of healing.

 

[ChuckTaylor84]

i fuckin hate da Klitschko's i hope Haye knocks that foo out

 

[CHRISHOGGALYPSE]

I guess somehow Haye would have to put his head in Wlad's chest and stay inside. the biggest issue against Wlad is being on the end of his long and strong punches. Like 206 said, get inside and charge like a bull.

People forget that Haye hasn't had the best chin in the world by any means. Wlad hits like a mule kicks. Haye has to do something and do something fast or he's in trouble. I think HW challengers are surprised by Wlad's speed too. They all talk crap but his size, speed and power all catch them off guard and their gameplan is shot from jump street.
