By Eggert Thorarensen: I was watching Vitali Klitschko outbox Kevin Johnson yesterday and i was not impressed just like i haven’t been impressed by any of the four fights Vitali has had since his comeback. And I am sure David Haye can beat Vitali. In fact, I’m even more sure that Haye will beat Vitali than his brother Wladimir.
David Haye is a fast guy and has very good power in both of his hands like all of you know. His flaws is his chin (which I think isn’t as bad as many people think) and he has also has had some stamina problems in the past.
Now here is the thing most people don’t realize about Vitali Klitschko he isn’t as powerful as you think. The only quality boxers he has really knocked out are Herbie Hide and Orlin Norris. Don’t let his knockout radio foul you most of his ko’s were either corner or referee stoppages.
So what i’m saying is Vitali is very good at wearing down his opponent by using his jab and right hand combination. And that is why i think he won’t be able to knock Haye out.
David Haye isn’t a stupid guy. I realized that when i saw his fight with Nikolai Valuev. If he had started bombing Valuev with all he had from the first round he would have been completely finished in around the 5th-7th round just like happened when he fought Carl Thompson. It just wasn’t worth the risk fighting like that because all that mattered was that he would win.
Vitali will have a huge problem trying to catch Haye with a good punch. Haye will jump in with a fast and powerful combination on and on and always jump back out and stay out of the ropes and that will be Vitali’s downfall.
So the next fight for Haye is the WBA number # 1 contender John Ruiz and that fight will definitely end by a spectacular knockout and Ruiz should not be any problem for Haye.
But if Haye can’t beat the Klitschko brothers (I highly doubt that) then nobody can so I think boxing fans should support Haye more because he is the only hope for the heavyweight division.
