Yup. I wonder if Wlad is gonna bounce Haye off the canvas like Bowe did Hide. It's either that or he knocks him cold.
I need to see Wlad-Haye before answering this question. Hide fought Bowe & Vitali, whereas Haye will not face a fighter of that H2H quality until Saturday.
Hide's record is pretty decent i think. He came up against two very dangerous heavies in Bowe and Vitali. The other two losses he was slightly faded, and avenged one of those defeats. Ultimately 49 wins, and 4 defeats is still very good, he had a harder stint at heavyweight. Better era....
Good point. Helps put just HOW overrated Haye is in context. Hide WAS a more accomplished challenger for the HW title than Haye!
A flabby 40 year old Tony Tucker in '97 was a shot-to-**** coke-snorter, did you even watch his fights around that time?
