I was about to say the same; although, I wouldn't say I don't rate Haye. I think Povetkin was and is the better of the three: Pulev, Povetkin, and Haye. Pulev is going to lose regardless, even though I'd rather this fight happen than Wlad/Stiverne.
He might be better but his game plan was schlock. The bum's rush might get Wlads attention early, but once he settles in........ Haye tried it for a while, then used backward and side movement. And looked for spots to counter. Yes it was ugly and loked like running, but it almost worked in the 12th. Potvetkin would likely beat Haye H2H, but we'll never see it until Potvetkin is holding the titles.
Wlad will go in to bomb Pulev out early. If he doesn't the fight could end on cuts with Pulev getting robbed. Wlads skin is very cuttable and Pulevs jab is a nightmare for a wet paper skined bleeder.
Povetkin was better than Haye but Wlad refused outright to fight Povetkin because he wasn't good enough and knew he' be knocked out.
Povetkin, wouldn't beat Haye. The guy was hurt and staggered many times against Huck, and hasn't really fought many big punchers. Charr wouldn't have made it past 4 rounds against Haye.
Haye was stunned by Chisora, Povetkin stops Haye easily Who has haye beat at heavy Old man Ruiz Bull**** descision against Valuev go down for anyone Barrett and Harrison Nearly sparked by Chisora Face it, haye is ****
He's got a better shot at beating Wlad than anyone else out there. Fact is beating Wlad is a tough mountain to climb. Wlad's got the belts, the team, a perfected style, experience, controls the fight conditions, probably the ref, etc. The only thing in Pulev's favor is Wlad is probably on the slide, as evidenced in the Povetkin fight, where Wlad didn't move well and resorted to holding. That won't work vrs Pulev, who has close to or equal strength and weight.
If Vitali, whose had far more and serious injuries than Wlad can make it to 42 years....Wlad could do it also easily.
