    Some people just cannot see through hype.

    Because I don't deride Wladamir opponents it means I can't see through hype? :think

    Don't think so.

    I am no so sure about Haye speed anymore. Boy does not look like boxer now. More like professional bodybuilder.

    All those new muscles are going to drain all energy from him in the later rounds.

    He has always looked the way he does and it doesnt seem to slow him down

    Apologies Mr Drinks, here instead is a vid of him against Chris Byrd. You'll concede at least that Chris Byrd isn't regarded as slow?

    Byrd's speed made him heavyweight champ for quite awhile. I think people here tend to forget how good he was earlier in his career. Byrd was faster than Haye.

    chris byrd was no threat with his light punches it was more like a sparring session for wlad. in Haye, wlad sees an unpredictable guy with a lot of movement and power enough to get knocked out by, there is no going thru hayes punches and he knows it. so what to do, how to handle him?
    i think wlad will have to go all in from round 1, he can't and won't stay behind that jab jab jab and grab coz it wont work.
    it will be a great fight, let the best man win
