They aren't alike aside the power they have, or rather hide did have. Haye has a very good amatuer background, hide does not. Hide used to weigh in with weights in his trousers strapped to his legs because he was so slight built. Haye naturally weighs 215 - 220 on weigh-in day, without weights, just his Hayemakers that I so hope shatter that boring and poor excuse of a HW champion.
He is going to be ko'ed. And yet better, he is gonna retire right after that like that joke of a champ in your avatar, man. It is Haye's first elite level opponent and he is gonna do "Naseeh hamed-trick"= getting schooled and retire for good. :rofl
Fighting Weight, how is this the quote of the week when in the other thread some guy is claiming V Klit has a better resume then L Lewis and is the best non american heavyweight of all time. You couldn't find a better on in there???? You're slipping dude.
Well many consider it to be one of the big four. So I would say it is nowadays a major title. Minor titles being EBU, IBO etc
Naturally 215-220 Ha!I hope he comes in a fat 225. You guys keep trying to build up pint size Haye. I'll bet he's 6'3 too:yep. Once a cruiser, you can't jump to heavyweight without losing speed,reflexus..look what happened to Jirov:deal
Thanks for the kind words. Realistically I think Haye is a challenge for Wladimir but I only give Haye maybe a 25% chance of landing something big enough to topple Wlad. Contrary to popular opinion here at ESB, it would take more than 1 punch to take out Wlad but 1 punch can certainly start him off. Haye has shown he is a good finisher too, but so is Wlad. This will be an exciting fight either way. :good
In all fairness the WBO is now just a legit as the other ABC's. Currently the WBA is the biggest crock of **** followed closely by the WBC, at least at Heavyweight. It wasn't always this way but since all the ABC's rating's suck, they are equal in significance. I personally like FightNews ratings lately............
Yay ! I knew you were only pulling our legs. I knew you were actually a rational guy. It is Wlads fight to lose , no question. He is the true champ and even as big a Haye fan as I am I must admit Hayes antics have probably gone too far now. Like you say though an exciting night ahead. Take it easy bro ( if you want we can go back to slagging each other off now :smooch )
