Would Haye have done any better than Solis against Vitali?
March 21st, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: Before anyone rags on the injured Odlanier Solis for his disappointing 1st round blowout loss to WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko last weekend in Cologne, Germany, try and imagine how WBA heavyweight champion David Haye would have done if he was in the ring with Vitali instead of Solis. Although Haye was dismissive of Solis’ performance against Vitali, saying “He [Solis] will unfortunately go down as yet another fat bum,” I think Haye is kidding himself that he would have done any better than Solis in a fight against Haye.
If you look at Haye’s fight against 39-year-old Audley Harrison, Haye and Harrison both looked petrified of each other in the first couple of rounds. Haye didn’t throw anything to speak of until the 3rd. Against Vitali, you forget about Haye thinking offense. It will jabs and running from Haye while Vitali stalks him around the ring winning rounds by default.

Neither of the Klitschko brothers can move easily around the ring, they’re more like robots regarding their footwork.
Whereas Haye is able to use both guards, to step aside or duck and couterpunch, all this much faster than the KO brothers. In his days Michael Spinks beat Larry Holmes twice on points. Haye is going to avoid the hard punches and will manage to land his.
Look I’ll be the first to say I dont like Haye but but I hope he win cause them K bro’s are beating everyone and I hate it. It’s like me going to PRE K and beating all the kids up and what does that prove I’m 30 beating up kids that cant even write yet .HAHAHa
The Klitschkos ducked big bum Valuev. The klitschkos fight only fat bums. All Americans are fat. The Klitschkos only fight in germany where they win biased decisions. Wlad is a bum. The Klitschkos ducked Ruiz and Tua and tony. Tea and crumpets anyone? After July 2 I will never be heard from again
Vince McBride: so Haye is better than Sanders, based on the fact that Haye hasnt fought eny top level fighter at hw ?, forget Valuev his talent wasnt really good enuogh to ranke him in top ten.
Haye can´t even jab, he has a class chin, awfull stamina, and when he tries to land his punch he is totally open.
Corrie Sanders? that was like 8 years ago. realy bad comparison pluss the brothers are so much better than they were. Haye has a chance only bc hes the best theyve fought in a while. Whichc isnt there fault considering that there hasnt been anyone for them to fight. Haye is 6-1 underdog in my mind to small and unproven.
Wladimir Klitschko got tkoed by Corrie Sanders in two rounds who then got beaten by Vitali in 8 rounds also by tko.
David Haye is a much better boxer than Corrie ever was, he will knock out Wladimir and most likely beat Vitaly on points, making the difference in the second part of the fight by wearing down Vitaly and outpunching him
Don’t forget that the Klitschkos always avoided Valuev although many people in Germany wanted this fight.
How has Haye got a weak chin? Its his stamina that questionable. I think its his size that will be his biggest problem.
How has Haye got a weak chin? Its his stamina that was questionable against Carl Thomson. He’s never been knocked clean out. I think his size will be his biggest problem.
What has Haye done???? Nothing Nothing and Nothing
@anonymous “smashing fo*ls around” enough said. Beating up fat bums or past it old timers.
@LEE
Shut your trash, you biaised bast*rd, Shannon Briggs said after his fight with Vitali that he was the best boxer he had ever fought.
The two brothers have been smashing fo*ls around for almost a decade and we still have to bare this hate motivated anti-klitscko slur.
What has Haye ever done to deserve a shot at a KBRO let alone show that he may be able to beat one????? NOTHING
If haye was as good as he says he is he would have faught better boxers ,not duck every good opponent so far.Either brother would kill him but haye has to fight a good boxer next so he may as well get beaten by the best .
Haye beats both sisters ! How many times must some of you slackers be told this on here ?
Wlad will be ko’d within 4 rds and Vitalli may just go the distance.
Before anyone rags on about the injured solis, im going to rag on about how david haye will never win.
Typical scott.
Haye will never climb that ring with a Klitschko. (MMWs)Mark My Words.
Who knows what would have happened, one thing I do know is that Haye just has too much to say. I liked Haye but now I just want to see him levelled
Haye would not do much better haye might just last till round 3 but them vitali ko him
AK 74 “The difference between Haye and solis is that Haye is much better and much faster and much more powerful than solis”
He’s so much everuthing more than Solis that you compare each of their fight against the same opponent in Monte Barrett.
Solis was and still is better than Haye, if they fight again, Solis would beat him like he already did back in the ams.
It took Haye three rounds to unleash against Harrisson, if he eventually ends up fighting a K, he should check his knees because he’ll run for survival.
He would have ran around much longer but still got knocked out.
vitali can beat haye and anyone who saw the klit solis fight who knows anything about boxing could see it…
haye can beat vitali and anyone who saw the klit solis fight who knows anything about boxing could see it…
what’s he gonna make of it …
I think solis is overrated saw him fight for the first time.I expected more after his fans where telling how fast and powerful and complete he was.Wel I do give him credit for showing how easy vitali can be hit and I do think he could have won a couple of more rounds if he didn’t hurt his knee,he was a lidle hurt by the punch from vitali but not that much that he could not continue.But he would not have won the fight,was to slow and fat for that and than say he deservis it more than David Haye well let me say this solis might have been a good amerture but being agood amerture does not make a good professional.The difference between Haye and solis is that Haye is much better and much faster and much more powerful than solis and if David would have landed those punches that solis landed on vitali chin vitali’s chin would have been shattered and it would have been a quick victorie for haye and believe me if solis was able to hit vitali that easy David will rip him apart.Ass for wlad thats just a formality easy KO win for Haye.
This is why fighters like Haye and Solis should be fighting each other as opposed to real champions. When you look at the big picture when these guys loose it is good for the sport. Look at the opposition these buys have been fighting. No one at all. Now they will have to fight someone to get back into contention.
Why is this Article even exist , HAYE DOES NOT WANT TO FIGHT VITALI. hE IS A BIG V@GINA.
@Huddo: There´s no “if”. He has no chin. Period.
Look at the Herbie Hide fight and you will see the outcome of the Haye-Fight.
Solis is a fat bum, got clipped,not even punch and game over
Just for the record I don’t think that Haye will beat with Klit…. And I am a Brit before anybody thinks any different. I’m just hacked off with Haye running his mouth off constantly. I’m actually becoming a member of the Vlit & Wlad supporters club. I digress…..
The tactics you describe Mr Gilfoid that if Haye were to fight Vitali as being somewhat negative….. If that was the one and only Andre Dirrell it would be reported as being a master class, a clinic etc etc….. It can’t be good for one fighter and not others.
There is only one reason why Haye would survive more than one round and of course it is that Haye runs faster backwards than many a good man forwards. The faker can run but he will not be able to hide.
to be fair to haye he will definitely last more than the first round
David has to circle to his left and throw combinations to have a chance against Vatali. I noticed Solis threw a hook to the pit of Vatali’s stomach as he was backing out. I think that’s a good strategy because Vatali moves his head fast. David has to put pressure on him early force tue action and command the center of the ring. If Vatali is allowed to push him back it will be a early night for Haye.
Haye will be able to hit Vitali at will because of his superior hand speed. Haye’s strategy for both K’s is speed speed speed and more speed. With his renound power he will be like a super middle weight but with the power of a heavyweight. Don’t underestimate Haye or his will. We all know he has a big mouth but you can be guaranteed he will come in unbelievable shape for this fight and throw the kitchen sink and then some at the Klitschkos. I just hope his chin can hold up to a right hand because Haye will have to take some punches to land his Hayemakers. That’s the big if on Haye.
if anything, haye would be the one to take a dive a la Fraudley Harrison, and be happy with just getting his paycheck.
haye is 10 times better than solis, he is the only man out there with chance against klitchchkos
in the circumstances every boxer in the world would be the same … as solis was injured simple as …. even if the referee let him continue it would have been like cotto Vs Foreman
Solis won the round b4 the knockdown anyway and i love Vitali !!
sorry but Vitali has to raise his game if he faces Haye … he was beat to the punch too many times for me
fineally sum 1 who talks about the fighters witout mentioning there record thats real annoying thoses of of us who follow the sport know there records and who thay fought we dont need reminding every 2 seconds thanks
Lets face it Haye will have to run from Vitali if he fights him and try in the process to land a bomb. Haye is a blown up Cruiserweight who was not renowned for his chin against lighter punching opposition. Haye is a small, very fast, heavy hitter but one who will doubtless get knocked spark out if he gets tagged by Klitschko so why risk a brawl.
There is no shame in Haye darting in and out trying to outspeed the giant heavyweight Klitschko as speed is his advantage over Klit. The only disappointment that I see is Haye running his mouth the way he does instead of just getting on with the business. But that wouldn’t sell as many tickets I suppose.
Really hope for a better fight than the Klitchco/Solis debacle. Pray Klitchco/ Haye fight lives up to the hype. TV Stations want to entertain their audience and if this fight is a dissapointment then boxing will battle to sell future ‘big’ world title fights.
If ever boxing needed good publicity it is now!!!
There is only one way to find out,what the outcome will be.after this last fight we don,t know what to think? Solis said he did not even feel the punch preceeding his fall from championship consideration.vitali klitschco trains hard,and that is why he is where he is at.solis realy blew his chance being too unfit for the challenge.
Haye is a chump. He knows he can’t win. He is going for the large pay day thats all….and all the world is buying into it. He will retire rich, but he will retire a loser! He will go to the Hall of fame for the Boxer with the biggest hole underneath his nose!
WEAK CHIN ??????
