Wladimir vs. Haye

By Scott Gilfoid: When I look at the July 2nd unification bout between IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko and WBA heavyweight champ David Haye, I see this as basically a modern day repeat of the November 2000 fight between champion Lennox Lewis and his much shorter challenger David Tua. The fight is about the same [...]

By Chris Williams: David Haye accomplished a lot by talking his way into a title fight with IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko which is now set to take place three weeks from now on June 20th, at the Veltins Arena, in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Haye, 28, is the equivalent of a person that talks their way [...]

By Chris Williams: In looking over several of David Haye’s most recent fights, I’ve noticed that he tends to fight very cautiously as if he’s afraid to mix it and get hit hard. I’ve seen the same from Wladimir Klitschko as well, but not nearly to the level that Haye seems to try and avoid [...]

By Chris Williams: Recently, I saw some video of Wladimir Klitschko’s trainer Emanuel Steward being extra kind to David Haye, telling him how much he likes the t-shirt that Haye put together of him holding the decapitated heads of Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, and telling him that he’s good for Wladimir because the Ukrainian fights [...]

By Dave Lahr: British heavyweight David Haye continued his never ending attacks on IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko today in their press conference in New York, calling Wladimir a “B-level champion” and saying that no one will remember Wladimir 20 years from now except for being the opponent who was knocked out by Haye. As [...]

By Adam Fillingham: I think everyone will agree when I say this, the heavyweight division is currently the worst division in boxing. It comes to something when seven out of ten people in Great Britain can’t name the heavyweight champion of the world. Now I don’t think Nikolay Valuev is the most memorable name but [...]

By Jason Kim: Former World Boxing Council/World Boxing Organization cruiserweight champion David Haye (22-1, 21 KOs) once again started firing with both barrels in his verbal war with IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (52-3, 46 KOs) after the two finally came to an agreement for their June 20th fight in Germany. The contracts were signed [...]

By Chris Williams: First of all, there’s good news and bad news about Wladimir Klitschko. The good part is that we won’t have to hear about the drama of his tiresome negotiating with David Haye, because that fight is pretty much dead in the water now. What’s bad is that Wladimir’s replacement, the knockout artist [...]

By Michael Lieberman: With David Haye looking like the one that will be facing Wladimir Klitschko next, I wonder if Haye will retire if he loses? Although most fighters wouldn’t retire after a loss against a great fighter like Wladimir, but for Haye, it would be a major blow to him, especially since he’s been [...]
