    When the dust settles, will the media be ridiculing this as a mega money mismatch, a fiasco even ?

    I remember when Tyson breezed through Spinks, "mismatch" became the word on everyone's lips after it failed to live up to the superfight build-up.

    Will this thing in Hamburg go down the same way ?
    I wouldn't be at all surprised if it does.
    I expect it to last a few rounds longer than Tyson-Spinks, but it might not resemble much more of a genuine contest.

    How many of you think it will be competitive enough to justify the build up ?

    I hope not.
    I don't really care who wins as long as it's a decent fight.

    emanuel steward will be screaming for wladimir to go in for the kill. The difference between haye and wladimir is haye is a very good finisher, wladimir isn't.

    Whoever has his hands raised, I'll be regarding it as a very valuable win for them. However, there will still be a notable section of those that will say:

    "He beat up an overrated cruiserweight, it don't mean ****" and "Proves what a joke the division is, the number one guy couldn't even beat a small, blown-up heavyweight"

    That, but not just that...

    Rather than staying calm and going for the kill intelligently, he just throw's his arms wildly

    Who knows really, I just hope the fight is a good one however long it lasts and regardless of who wins. That's what is important to me. But it very well could be a mismatch, on paper to me it already is considered one. But that's why they fight, and that's why I sit here watching.

    Other fast guys like Chris Byrd and Eddie Chambers went 12 rounds against Wlad. What do those guys have that Haye doesn't?

    I'll tell you what Haye has that they didn't: KO power :bbb

    Yes, that is true. His work is really untidy.

    Yeah, Wlad is gonna expose this fraud bigtime. Haye's glass jaw is gonna get shattered, and probably early too.

    You'll be able to cheer yourself up after Haye wins by talking about Wlads shattered glass early on Saturday!
