photo by Pavel “Eagle eye” Terehov – By Scott Gilfoid: To be brutally honest, it probably doesn’t matter what David Haye does in the ring against Vitali Klitschko, because when it’s all said and done, Haye doesn’t have a big enough cannon to take him out. Clearly, this isn’t a fight that Haye is going to be able to win on his boxing skills alone, because he’s a rather ordinary boxer, who relies mostly on winning his fights by knockout. He’s not particularly adept at throwing jabs, and mainly waits for openings to throw a single big shot, hoping to stun his opponents. If he’s unable to hurt Vitali with a single shot, then he most certainly won’t be throwing any kind of combinations, because Haye generally only throws combinations after hurting his opponent with a big shot.
Haye vs. Klitschko
Haye and Vitali Klitschko Involved In Scuffle
By Eric Thomas: photo by Pavel “Eagle eye” Terehov – In an interview with the BBC Sport, David Haye (22-1, 21 KOs) commented that he had recently gotten into a scuffle with Vitali Klitschko at a restaurant after Vitali saw a photo of Haye in which he was holding the severed head of Wladimir Klitschko. The photo was taken for the UK version of Men’s Health magazine, and apparently Haye thought that Vitali would see it as a joke rather than take it seriously. However, Vitali reportedly got enraged and the two quickly began scuffling with each other until they were broken up moments later.
Does Haye Stand a Chance against Vitali?
By Scott Gilfoid: After aggressively pursuing both Klitschko brothers for months, David Haye has gotten his wish, landing what looks to be a fight against the bigger and better of the two brothers, Vitali Klitschko. While I respect Haye a lot for having the courage to take on Vitali rather than the soft-chinned Wladimir, I think Haye is going to be destroyed by Vitali in quick fashion.

Is Haye Crazy To Want To Face Both Klitschko Brothers?
By Dan Ambrose: Having been a big fan of David Haye for a number of years, it disappoints me to see him going a little unhinged recently with his desire to fight not only Wladimir Klitschko, the IBF/WBO heavyweight champion, but also his brother Vitali. It seems as if Haye’s ambition is way above his current skill set and physical limitations.
Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind seeing him fight the Klitschko brothers if I actually thought he could beat either of them, but at this present time, I don’t give him much of a chance of beating either. I think he has a puncher’s chance against Wladimir, but only if he can land a lucky punch in the first round or two.
