it looks like haye vs maskeav is shaping up ol'boy.why would haye speak so much at a such high volume level just to pick a fight like this?:laugh:

 

[LeedsLad]

Its not a bad first fight at HW for Haye, Maskaev was still a world champion one fight ago. However i have to agree, the way Haye was speaking something better was expected.

 

[Matty The Ghost]

That’s not a bad start for all the **** people have been talking about him. Most people were criticizing him for picking a fight with Wlad and saying he should start at the bottom. I think this is gonna be a nice place to start though.

 

[Unseen]

it's gonna be a decent fight to judge whether he is good enough to fight wlad or samuel peters.

tua would be an exciting fight next.

then i think one more fight maximum before he gets a shot at wlad or peters.

 

[no dice nate]

This would be a good move for him. It would be interesting to see if he can outdo Sam Peter and get rid of Maskaev even earlier.

 

[LeedsLad]

I think he will get rid of him quicker than Peter did. Haye's speed and explosiveness will trouble Maskaev because his speed and reflexes have diminished badly.

 

[Megarodon]

Its a good name and a very winnable fight dor Haye, if he watchs out his chin he can win it easily..

I agree, his explosiveness and power might get Maskaev out real quick

 

[LeedsLad]

Yeah thats what im thinking, this could be over in a round IMO.

 

[bucknutz]

Haye makes quick work of him 3 rounds or less imo.

 

[Guest]

Yep. This'll be a short nights work. Haye KO 4

 

[Brutus]

I think its a good first opponent for Haye, hes a former champ and if he gets rid of him in dominating fashion he might get a title shot in his next fight. I think Haye might have to get rid of Maskaev quickly since Maskaev has shown he can fight for 12 rounds and im not sure Haye can if Maskaev will clinch alot and stuff, so i think Haye will win but if the fights goes longer then 9 rounds i would no be suprised to see him have some problems.

 

[Pugilistic]

Haye should win that fight easy, Maskaev is old and way past it, Haye should finish him in 3 rounds.

 

[leftylee]

Haye smashes him. Oleg is 39 and past it. he's been Ko'd in every loss also and he wont handle Haye's power. Then again no one IMO would be able to handle Haye's power.

 

[LeedsLad]

I agree Haye smashes him. Im going to say in the very first round as well. Oleg's speed and reflexes have completely gone, Peter is slow as hell so he could see the punches coming and not getting blasted out. He won't see them coming from Haye; speed, power & explosiveness. I need to see Haye once more before i decide whether he'd beat Peter, but i think he'd have a good chance.

Sam Peter is one slow ass fighter. Haye would smash him also. Sam Peter only got good power, nothing else. So fukking predictable.

 

[Guest]

Sam Peter actually has good hand speed. Haye would beat him still.

 

[Unseen]

tbh this is my list who haye should fight.

maskaev

toney rahman winner

tua or briggs

peters/vitali winner

valuev

wladamir

tyson/holyfield/lennox lewis or all 3 of them

I agree. I want to see Haye at HW first, but if Haye don't get stupid he should knock Peter's ass out. He'll see those punches coming a mile off, and land the big shots on Peter with ease.

 

[Brutus]

I honestly think that if Maskaev clinches and holds Haye alot and gets trough maby the first 8 or 9 rounds he can cause Haye some problems, i think Maskaev can get Haye tired if he holds and fights dirty and uses his size to get haye tired he might cause Haye some serious trouble in the later rounds, but i also think Haye will get him out of there quick.

 

[LeedsLad]

Haye will be 220-230lbs when he fights at HW. I don't think Maskaev has the footspeed to close the gap and tie Haye up without walking onto massive punches. If he tries to bullrush Haye he may get lucky with a punch, but its more likely that Haye catches him clean and stops him.
