Best FACE OFF ever! Klitschko vs Haye

Precisely.

Nobody says Wlad is the second coming of anything.

But he has resurrected his career and managed to knock out guys doing it.

Does he hold? Yes. Excessively? In only one fight I can think of. Even at that, his opponent more than met him half-way with some rabbit punches. And even at that, Wlad did most of the clean effective punching.

Wladimir will never be regarded as an ATG, hell, he might never even be liked, not to mention respected, but to compare him to Ruiz is uncalled for.

 

interesting choice of words by Haye. :bs:

 

agREED. I don't think as highly of Wlad as some do around here, but he's certainly a much better fighter than Ruiz.

 

Yep, It's nothing like PavliKKK. ::

 

It's what happened to Jerry Quarry when the likes of Ali and Frazier were around. ::

 

Did they teabag him?

 

So what U're Saying is, Caucasoid & Negroid TESTICLES were a Part of VOTING Procedures????...



REED:scared:

 

I am nearly sure it originated in golf clubs- the ball is white, if you got "black-balled", you didn't get in.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackballing

 

I have honestly never heard 'whitewash' used in the context Sly is describing.

I concur with :bs:

 

A whitewash means to have all of an available set or group. A whitewash will also occur where a team wins a game without conceding, wins all the rounds without dropping any, etc.

In this context, there was no strict racial implication. Haye may have meant it to be funny, the brothers being white, but I'm not sure Haye has the IQ to manage that, and besides, I doubt Haye swings that way anyways. Haye is more a generally disrespectful whelp than one who focuses on certain groups.

 

agREED...

REED has OFTEN Heard Roy Jones' Win Over James Toney Described as a 'Whitewash"...



REED:kidcool:

 

Wouldn't that B WHITEballed???...



REED:kidcool:

 

Right, 120-108, or better, is a "white-wash"- basically one-way, uniform scoring. No controversy here.

If people want controversy they can concentrate on what Haye said about Manny Steward and not some "whitewash" thing.

 

I get the feeling Haye was having a little fun with the term "whitewash". And if he was, so what? It's not gonna help him KO Wlad or prevent him from being KOed by Wlad.

 

agree

but there are people here who have insanely high opinions of Wlad, just check out the MM section

 

I don't think Haye is bright enough to use "whitewash" in such a sarcastic way

I believe he literally meant the traditional usage of the term as dscribed here by Irish and Sly, among others

 

Yup, people are looking into that way too much. I thought nothing of it when I heard it

 

QPR 4-0 Swansea City

We whitewashed those welsh motherfuckers

 

And I was there in attendance to witness Taarabt's moment of genius.

David Haye is a fat mincer

 

Absolutely. I've had plenty of discussions with those knuckleheads. But comparing him to Ruiz is doing the same thing, just in the opposite direction.

 

agree

Wlad would have butchered John Ruiz

 

I wasn't comparing Wlad to Ruiz in terms of skillset at all. What I said was something to the effect of "if you like watching a guy throw a jab and hold, you should check out some John Ruiz fights as you'll find him to be the epitome of the sweet science" in response to Trplsec.

 

Wlad will toy with this clown and then take him out. What is wrong with you guys?

 

Haye's coming across as very confident and relaxed, but deep down he's shitting it.

 

Nah he believes he's going to win. And guess what I think he will. Wlad's going to get stretched.

But this is one prediction that I'd be happy to get wrong.

 

you're wrong. as brits we understand his idiolect better than you guys do. we - both white brits and black brits - just don't have the same obsession with race that you americans have. :dunno:

 

You tread heavily Rooster, correct as you are.

 

What time's the main event saturday, anyone know?
