Haye won’t have to worry about having his title for long
December 15th, 2009
By Scott Gilfoid: With the news today that World Boxing Association heavyweight champion David Haye and WBC heavyweight title holder Vitali Klitschko have reached a preliminary agreement for a fight in the future, you can pretty much assume that Haye won’t have his title for long. It seems to be that Klitschko and Haye were close to fighting before, so it really doesn’t mean too much to me that Haye and Klitschko have come to some kind of agreement for a fight.
Haye won’t be able to run his way to a victory against Ruiz nor will he be able to stop him by throwing pot shots. Ruiz can be stopped, but it takes guts and a fighter that is willing to get in close enough to throw combinations like David Tua did in his 1st round knockout of Ruiz in 1996.
Ruiz hasn’t been stopped since then, and that’s because he has a good chin and good boxing skills. I’d like to see Haye try to knock him out, because it will be like a replay of Haye’s bout against Carl Thompson. Ruiz will take out Haye once he gasses out. But let’s assume for sake of argument that Haye does beat Ruiz by a questionable narrow decision, which is the only way I can see Haye beating him, Haye would still have next to zero chance of beating Vitali Klitschko.
It wouldn’t even be fun to watch, because Haye would be too small and too limited to get the win. Haye would likely be running his backside off, doing laps around the ring trying to prevent from getting nailed by Vitali. When Haye would throw a punch, all I could see him doing is throwing a tentative reaching jab to the midsection of Vitali, while at the same time having his feet ready to immediately retreat.
If you thought that it was boring watching Kevin Johnson fight in a survival manner on the ropes for 12 rounds against Klitschko, just wait until you see Haye mix it up with Klitschko. Haye won’t try to mix it up with him, because if he does he’s a goner. That’s just the way it is.
I really do hope that Haye takes the fight with Vitali and doesn’t scamper off just before the contract is signed to fight someone less threatening. The two were close to signing a contract last time, but Haye took off in another direction and fought Nikolay Valuev instead.
I just don’t know what to expect next time. So the way I see it is if Haye does go ahead and take the fight with Klitschko, Haye will last maybe two or three rounds before getting royally destroyed. The only way that Haye lasts longer than that is if he runs like mad around the ring to avoid getting hit. Haye just doesn’t have the size, arm length or the chin to compete with the likes of Vitali.
He can’t jab and his pot shots will be entirely ineffective compared to the rain of punches that will be thrown his way. I can see it like this: Vitali lands forty punches, and then Haye lands a pot shot. Vitali then lands another 40 punches followed by another wild pot shot from Haye. In between that time, Vitali will likely have to chase Haye around the ring to catch him.
Haye ran like crazy against the light hitting Valuev. What does that tell you that Haye will likely do against Vitali, a much harder puncher? The good thing that I can see with Haye getting driven into the canvas by Vitali is that Haye would then be sent down to the depths of the heavyweight pack, where he would be forced to fight it out with other top contenders like Odlanier Solis, Kevin Johnson, Eddie Chambers and Alexander Povetkin. I don’t like Haye’s chances of winning fights against of those heavyweights, I must say. Those guys will likely send Haye packing for the cruiserweight division again.

want it or not result is clear , I am talking to all boxing fans
scott get a life haye will destroy both klitscko’s so f*uck u
Hey Scott, I know you’re only a wind-up “artist” or Autist” at heart, but here’s the truth:
Haye will defeat Ruiz. But he doesn’t have a chance in Catholic Hell of beating either Klitschko brother, and he knows it.
Haye knew what he was getting into when he signed the contracts for the Valuev fight, and what he was getting OUT of when he BROKE the Klitschko contract.
Now that Davey’s on planet “WBA”, he’s got a pretty safe ride. 1st Ruiz, then an even older Valuev again, then the winner of the Ruslan Chagaev-Kali Meehan fight. That’s 2-3 years worth of avoiding either Klitschko… Haye NEVER intended to fight them.
Or he would’ve when he had the chance, contracts shmontracts.
He supposedly wanted to fight BOTH brothers anyway, correct?
That’s what the original “Klitschko ‘slave’ contract ensured!!!
Haye is a paper champion.
PA
ps- I’m stunned, amazed, and gasping for air at myself for actually commenting on one of your “articles”. I must be mad…
The thing with David Haye is this – he is the ONLY interesting boxer in the heavyweight division. Therefore the only boxer with any chance of dethroning the klits.
He beat Valuev with his brain and his stamina (he is not known for those assets) and he did to Valuev what no-one else has done before and that was to rock him.
V.Klit – slow, overrated and will be beaten by Haye
W.Klit – Haye will win by K.O – easy prediction
As for Ruiz… well… who has he fought and won?
Case closed.
Did you ask santa for a spine this xmas mr Gilfoid?
Ruiz has the knickname of ‘the hugger’, doesn’t bode well for a fight against the top heavyweight of the division. You very delusional just like your twinky boyfriends the Klitschkos.
you dont know your boxing and you dont know david haye. muppet,
This is the same writer that talked up Johnson. Johnson was so quick i didn’t see him move. Johnson was going to mangle Vitalis face, well guess what you have to hit him first. Johnson had trouble standing up he had to hold onto the ropes. Ruiz is another one that has trouble standing up he has to hold onto something or should i say someone. Well I predict that Haye will look up and see Ruiz’s face. Because he has been KO’d? No but because Ruiz’s head is stuck on the ceiling.
klitchko looked awful the other night, johnson looked worse(if that’s best u.s has to offer lol)
haye can and will k.o and retire vitali.
just the fact that scott gilfoid say vitali would win, is reason enough to put your house on haye winning. as when did scotty get a prediction right. pacman cotto-wrong, taylor froch-wrong, froch dirrell-wrong, valuev haye-wrong need i go on?
It’s not often I agree with Scottisch Scotty but this is one of this times. Haye has showed nothing yet in HW, has a big mouth and doesn’t back up his claims.
I give him little to no chance against Vitali and only a ‘punchers chance’ against Wlad.
Liam: indeed I criticise Ali for his style, but not from a 30 second clip but from all his ‘greatest fights’. The Foreman win was one of the best of them all. He was right that time because he would get used as a basketball like Frazier. It’s the fights he didn’t have to stink up the place and did and then steal the victory (e.a. the Norton fights). But that’s not the issue here. If Haye wants to do a ‘rope-a-dope’ then do it, but don’t have a big mouth about knocking sombodies head off if you already know you’re gonna spoil. And if you do never have a big mouth afterwards!
David Haye is anyoing hes figths are way more boring then the Klitschko then he says they dont give vaulue for money he doesnt LOL
haye will either stop or ko klitschko and i wouldnt expect it to go beyond 10 rounds if anyone saw vitaly fight last weekend it was clear to everyone hes finished already he was slower than ever his power looked like itd gone and his face was worse off than the opponent who threw a total off bout 20 punches all jabs the whole fight haye will be 2 quick to young and to powerful for vitaly hayes the hardest hitter in boxing at the mo he proved that when he wobbled valuev neither klitchko would have done that.this scott geezer aint for real knows why hes writing bout boxing.
Lee Swaby also beat Maccarinelli. And Maccarinelli cut Haye. David Haye is a good fighter. High KO ratio, only 2 going the distance. But 1 KO loss at cruiser. Vitali Klitschko has the same, but more fights at the heavier weight. He has never been down or had a standing 8. Put it into perspective, Haye has not yet been tested at Heavy. Look at his 2 best. Barrett and Valuev, Barrett KO by Wladimir Klitschko and Valuev given the run around by old but great Holyfield.
erm,
true Haye did not stand toe to toe, but he won. When lots of people were saying he had no chance. Pot shots? Lol, Haye is a very clever and very accurate boxer who doesnt waste punches. Macranelli* was a hard hitter in the welterweight division and haye battered him.
Klitchkos last fight YAWN, everyone in the room felt embarressed for the heavyweight division if that is Pro boxing. The only thing kiltchko has is, he is big. He is also a crap boxer who will get battered by a very fast, very smart and very hard hitting haye.
BET YOU ANYTHING RUIZ GETS KNOCKED OUT
Haye talks a lot of trash about his opponents. So why is it wrong for Scott Gilfoid to have his opinions about Haye? Haye deserves to be taught a lesson in the heavyweight division. This lesson will come sooner or later. It is just a matter of time.
What a tit you are. Why the f*&k would Haye stand toe to toe with Valuev, he would be killed. He done the smart thing in keeping his distance. You’re probably one of those idiots that would watch a 30 second clip of Ali-Foreman and the rope-a-dope and criticise the GOAT.
ARSEHOLE
Haye will do all he can to avoid Vitali he simply isn’t in his league he will look else were for 2010 until Vitali dies of old age, look out for the excuse, it will be coming.
I fifth it. You are a bum and way off from the truth. Haye has improved since he lost to Thompson. The only thing I really don’t like about Haye is his lazy left hand but other than that I think he knows what he needs to do to compete with Vitali.
First of all: Lets all hope that this fight will happen! It could be the first interesting HW fight for years!
I do think that Haye has a chance, even though I see Vitali as the clear favourite. But lets just hope that Vitali will NOT destroy Haye.
Like Haye or not, just imagine what it would mean for HW boxing if a 39 year old could easily destroy Haye?
The perfect situation would be a nice 12 round fight with either one winning, but bith looking good. then a rematch with haye winning, retiring Vitali. This would be the perfect lead on for a mega fight between wladimir and haye.
just one mans opinion…..
good arctical its true david haye is ducking the Klitschkos and he trys and turns it around saying the Klitschko are ducking which is a lie
wrong again haye is the man and hes not a wanky yanky lol
i thought i was going to go two whole days with out listening to this knob, scott do us a favour and watch ufc or wwe
andrew evans! big up bruv..
You are wrong. I am right.
