Look for Haye to expose Klitschko’s weaknesses on July 2nd
June 24th, 2011
By Dallan O’ Donnell: When WBA heavyweight champion David Haye steps into the ring in Hamburg to face WBO, IBF and IBO world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko he will be the most hated man in the arena. Not just because of His antics from two years ago when he wore a t-shirt depicting the decapitated Klitschko brothers as Haye stood as an almighty conqueror.
All that being said I pick Haye to Beat Klitschko come July. Call it a gut feeling, but I don’t see Haye having too much trouble from Klitschko. The only real tool in the Klitschko armoury is his jab followed by a right hand that is thrown at a ferocious heavyweight punchers pace but compared to David Haye pace it doesn’t come close. Haye is very quick, probably the quickest heavyweight since Mike Tyson and he can throw a combination of punches from all angles. I would go as far to say Haye would possibly have enough in his locker to Knock Klitschko out. Klitschko has been knocked out before by lesser opponents and although he has established himself as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time because of his dominance over a weak division he has never faced anyone as dangerous as Haye.
The fight itself however will be dull, especially the first few rounds where Klitschko will go looking for Haye but he wont be anywhere to be found because he will be running much like he did in the Valuev fight. Haye will eventually come forward and will find Klitschko’s subject chin and test it. The question is will it pass the test? Don’t get me wrong Klitschko has power too and if allowed will punish Haye who himself has also been knocked out, at cruiserweight.
And for those of you who ask about the future for Haye and the Klitschko’s? Well I can only see a Haye win in July against Wladimir followed by his retirement in October, proceeded with Vitali calling Haye out for perhaps the best part of a year, to exact revenge for his brother and a possible fight next September. Who wins that one? It’s too tough to call. Vitali vs. Haye is the fight that should have been made from the get go.

49 KO’s #50 coming up shortly people 6 !! more days to go. Wlladdimmiirr Klitchko Still the Heaviweight Champion of the Planet.
Is he a WBA HW belt holder? I saw it was a draw with Valuev. Check it out on YT. Draw is not enough to be a real chump.
Total mismatch. Haye hasn’t shown nothing interesting in HW so far. Big mouth not enough not only for both Klits but also Adamek, Areola, Povetkin, Chagaev, Chambers, Helenius just to mention a few.
Why some of you including author of this article exaggerate importance of Haye-Vlad fight and then on the end really si11y statement about possible Sep Vitaly-Haye fight. Have you ever heard dear author that in Sep is Vitaly-Adamek fight? And what makes you thinking that it will be postponed if Haye wins? Because he retires in October? LOL You overrate importance of your boxer and yourself.
Adamek-Vitaly is much more interesting and much more lucrative. And of course Adamek is way better fighter then Dave.
I AND I
Hey this fight is just a week away so we will all see what Wlad and Haye are both made of because we can all speculate and say that wins on points and the other by KO but we have no control of the future so we have to wait. Damn paul the ‘OCTOPUS’ is dead he would have predicted the outcome of this fight.

hit and run and get knocked out by Wlad. You guys really amaze me this fight is just hyped up for real i know this for sure its not going to be quick as in KO and its not going to be an all guns blazing fight and its gonna be a one side unanimous decision in favour of Wlad. PLEASE WATCH THIS SPACE.
@ I AND I, I would say you should watch his fights more accurately, if you really believe what you write
Nice article- I also believe Haye will be fighting similar to the Valuev fight, hit n run and knock him out
Now brits lets talk facts and please be honest to yourselves about this. Haye has got two heavyhands and he tends to lunge in to connect what other punch has he got in his arsenal? he has no jab,hooks and even uppercut and those are punches that the most dominate champions had in their arsenal lennox,holyfield,tyson,Ali and to me haye is a modern version of Frazier but with no defence and frazier to me was just a big puncher and nothing more and you all saw as he was exposed by foreman and Ali in manila.
HAYMAKAAAAAA
Tyson Fury is a freakin scab!
Wladimirs weaknesses? What weaknesses would they be? 49 victims
might give you an arguement on that theory!
@jackson nice post sir
haye has no chance against vitali. to think he has you have to be delusional. haye cant knock him out. and haye tires easily, esp considering vitali will push him throughout the fight, haye constantly on the run. vitali has a high punch output, very high. theres no way haye can avoid them forever. if ruiz can hit him, vitali can knock him out.
theres another way haye could have hyped the fight–he could have gotten in the ring with a couple of decent heavyweights. and dont forget, haye’s chin is weaker than vlads. no small heavyweight, much less a cruiserweight, has ever hurt vladimir. barret hurt chambers. vladimir wasnt hurt by him in their fight.
As was said when Mayweather faced Mosely, everything changes when you meet a quicker fighter than you for the first time. Agree with the earlier comment saying he’s the quickest since tyson – he undoubtedly is. That’s why despite his utter obnoxiousness, so many people rate him, because when he pounces he’s seriously quick and if anyone in the last ten years can knock Wlad spark out its Haye.
Very true it’s not all Brits. The Klitschko haters come in two basic types. Silly British chav trash and Black Americans eventhough Wlad gave to charity to help build schools in Africa. What astounding racism
Loads of brits hate david haye and want him to get ktfo. im pretty sure all blacks and mixed race people from all countries want haye to win. these days nationality isnt a issue. its race thats important, and i will be supporting mine as a white british person. Come on Wlad, kill him.
Whoever wins will make it look easy! Either a KO either way early on or Wlad will simply jab his way to victory! Afterwards the victor will make it look like a walk in the park but would anyone be willing to bet their house either way?
@ Marius
He is not Scott Gilfoid tho is he!
@ banthebrits- Sounds Irish to me!!! Haha
everyone knows about Klitschkos right hand but dont forget the hook off the jab. Nobody does it better. I do think Haye will give him trouble. Neither one of these two has ever lost a decision. I dont expect that will change.
I like your article but disagree:
You are absolutely right that Haye’s antics are to sell… of course they are, he is approaching his last fight and wants 10 mil in the bank.
BUT it is a great fight matched.
I think actually that you are right for round one only. Haye has to come out after round one and take K out otherwise that jab is devastatingly boringly hard!
I think Haye will wade in bob and move throw nothing guage it it then go in round two – either be KOd or KO.
If it goes long its Klitsckos if it does not it will be round two or three and Haye!
Makes it exciting tho hey!
Like your articles as this website is full of garage normally!!!
