Can Haye Beat Both Klitschko Brothers?
December 17th, 2009
By Peter Wells: After talks of a super fight between Vitali Klitschko and new World Boxing Association heavyweight champion David Haye, there have been lots of articles saying who people believe will win. I wouldn’t argue with any opinion unless they are completely biast, and I won’t write a biast article here. I went for Haye to beat Valuev and felt like many other people he could have fought better, but let’s give him respect he won the title and fair play to him. Wladimir and Vitali are the two dominant forces in the Heavyweight division and despite their quality they aren’t exciting at all.
If this fight happens next year then it will have people talking, and could be a difficult fight to call defending on how you look at it. David I think could have knocked out Valuev if he’d tried to as he shook the giant with a low power punch. Klitschko cuts and that could be a factor against the speedy Haye and I would go with Haye to stay out of trouble early, and with Vitali being the much slower will find it hard to land those trade mark jabs. David will start landing big shots and Klitschko isn’t impossible to hit and may cut by half way. Haye can get inside enough to take the rounds quite clearly but can’t fight like he did against Valuev; he needs to get in there more. Haye could get floored but I think he would win on points.
Wladimir is probably the easier fight; the younger Klitschko brother hasn’t got the chin of Vitali and has been beaten 3 times, and stopped in all 3 of them. His last 3 fights have been stoppages against Tony Thompson KO 11, Hasim Rahman TKO 7 and Ruslan Chagaev RTD 9. Wladimir hasn’t fought great opposition and has been one to fight old fighters but did outpoint a good younger fighter in Sultan Ibragimov, and has stopped Lamont Brewster after being stopped himself.
So Wladimir would be a much easier fight for Haye and a less intriguing bout, in which I think Haye could do pretty much the same as Vitali but he could knock Klitschko out in 8 rounds.
These are what I feel would happen when these fights come around, most people will have different opinions and I am happy to listen to whatever you feel the result will be.

all this they are doing for now i consider to be rubbish i believe when samuel peters comes back to great form again he will come bigger and better to knock out the klishko brothers
ALL OF A SUDDEN SANDERS WAS AN EXPERIENCED HARD PUNCHING FIGHTER WHEN HE KNOCKED OUT VLAD. THE TRUTH SANDERS WAS FINISHED AFTER BEING BATTERED BY RAHMAN, AND WAS FAT AND MORE INTERESTED IN PLAYING GOLF WHEN HE FOUGHT BOTH KLITSKO BROS. BREWSTER WAS ALMOST 2 YEARS AND HAD A RETINA OP. WHEN HE WAS OFFERED THE RETURN FIGHT WITH VLAD.HE HAD ONLY 6 WEEKS TO TRAIN FOR THE FIGHT.HE TOOK THE DEFEAT LIKE A MAN ,HE DID´NT GO AROUND CLAIMING THAT SOMEONE POISONED HIS WATER.
nobody can beat them until retirement,
Why is Haye the ‘big man’ all of a sudden?
He only has 3 (!!!) heavyweight fights to his credit and not the best ones, plus he boxed only 3 times in the past 2 years.
What did the guy do to meet this praise? If you look at the level of opposition he beat then there are quite a few boxers I rate higher then Haye.
Just a list of fighters who have been in with better opposition and won.
- Eddie Chambers, lost to Povetkin but won from Brock, Peter and Dimitrenko (being it all just barely)
- Povetkin, won from Byrd, Chambers and Estrada (unbeaten)
- David Tua, made his comeback with the destruction of Cameron, and has been in with the best and beat a lot of them to a pulp, has a problem with big HW’s but destroys normal size ones.
And then there are Solis and Boystov who I both rate higher then Haye but they still need to prove themselves with better opposition.
All in all, it’s not about that I don’t like Haye… I don’t but you guessed that already. It’s because he hasn’t proven anything yet and is running his mouth. I never liked Ali or Bowe either but they have proven themselves to be top HW’s, the K brothers have proven themselves to, Tyson did, Lewis did, Foreman did, Holyfield did, and I can go on…. Maybe Haye will go in this list in the future, but I won’t count on it.
If anything, I’d put money on Haye KTFO Wladimir.
Reason being that Wlad is more suseptible to getting hit, and he has been KO’d by Corrie Sanders!!!
“Wladimir hasn’t fought great opposition”.
you’re entitled to your opinion but wlad has fought much better opposition than his brother. wlad is the one who has cleaned up the heavyweights. vitali’s record isn’t full of big names at all.
Haye to win!
Yes Haye can beat the Klitschkos but then as Vitali has said on many occasions ‘This is the HW division one punch can make all the difference’ nothing new, but true.
Ask this question a different way. ‘Do you think Haye will win against the Klitschkos’ then I have to say NO.
I don’t know why Vitalis last performance should alter peoples perception of his abilities. He schooled Johnson for 12 rds at 38 and 18st in the last round played with this undefeated young boxer, for me a brilliant performance which tells me he is brimming with confidence and justly so.
Wladimir like Haye does not have a weak chin, he had a stamina problem, Sanders a very experienced boxer with Ko power and speed and to make matters even more difficult a southpaw caught him with punches that would put lewis down, no disgrace, so get up and he does. His experience and defensive skills are extraordinary and for Haye he will hone them especially for the job.
Vitali by KO Wladimir by TKO after a lot of punishment.
Don’t hold your breath though Haye probably wont go near them for quite some time, if at all. To much money to be made while at the top, and who can blame him.
david haye as got a chance with anyone of the klitschko bruvs,there is one thing you cannot beat in boxing.that is the clock,haye as hunger youth and he can bang.he as great movement what i think will give the klitschkos probs.johnson came to survive and marked vitali up,in a boring fight.if haye can get the fight at home he can do it
Nope
Haye is going to retire quitaly
my thoughts also after seeing vitali box the other night
