By William Mackay: British promoter Frank Warren thinks that WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-1, 23 Ko’s) stands a chance at beating one of the Klitschko brothers. Haye is scheduled to fight IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) in June or July. However, that could change very soon if Wladimir’s injured abdominal muscle tear continues to cause him problems preventing him from meeting Haye in the ring.

Haye’s only chance if in a fight with Wladimir, and that’s not a very good chance. Haye stands absolutely no chance of beating Vitali. None. He doesn’t have the game or the size to beat Vitali, and I wouldn’t give the 6’2″ Haye even a 1% chance of beating Vitali. The first big shot Vitali lands, Haye will likely be flopping around on the canvas the same way Odlanier Solis recently was.

Warren said this in his column at thesun.co.uk: “David Haye may stand a chance.” Warren doesn’t say how much of a chance Haye stands. I give Haye a teeny chance of beating Wladimir, only because Wladimir has a glass jaw and fights timidly. Haye won’t have a chance of beating Wladimir if Haye fights the way he did against Nikolay Valuev and John Ruiz. Running around the ring, throwing few punches or lunging forward with badly telegraphed looping shots will get Haye knocked out quickly. Haye doesn’t have a jab and his boxing skills are ordinary to say the least. He’s going to be like a cruiserweight with bad boxing fundamentals taking on a super heavyweight with superb boxing skills. It just doesn’t look good for Haye no matter how you twist things. Haye’s only chance is to try and land something in a clinch, but even that probably won’t work because of Haye’s lack of size.
