Considering his physical limitation vis a vis the Klitschkos I thought that his performance was Toemendous!
If the shoe fits he must wear it.
I don't think so Hut. It wouldn't be a Hagler-Hearns war, naturally, but it would be an entertaining bout with a few good exchanges..but more...

They could cut off Haye's toe just before the fight and he'll still win.
No. Holmes would beat Wlad, tyson would beat Wlad, Foreman would beat Wlad...Louis may have beaten Wlad. Try again.
You are on top form today. I especially like: "There's a huge difference between strategic caution,.....and inaction"
I wish he gambled more too and just started throwing punches like crazy. There were a couple spots in teh fight when he started doing this and...
:atu: Man, you can exaggerate when trying to make a point!
I don't want to see a rematch either, make no mistake.
Lennox Lewis often fought the same way and people criticized him for it at the time too...but it still showed that he was a smart fighter. Didn't...

Anyway...if Wlad fights this way all the time there are only two style sthat can beat him. 1. Someone around his height and reach that can play...
Fighting "Tall" Doesn't mean that your body remains erect! :giggle: I'm referring to the way he used his height and reach to keep Haye at bay....
I dunno padna! I'm not convinced that Haye could KO the Ruddock that survived the fury of a prime Tyson. Not at all.

Haye proved to me that he wasn't scared of Wlad and meant everything he said in the build up. He also proved that he's a legitimate heavyweight...
:giggle: I love these types of statements. Viva fightbeat!
There are far TOE many puns in this thread...
Haye by decision
Since the Ali haters will likely jump in here talking about Norton, Shavers and Young...I'm specifying the Cassius Clay version who beat Liston....
Wlad KO 1
