donizhere - I think your completely mental to put all money on Haye KO'n Valuev! I cannot see Haye winning and I hope he loses, such a dislikeable twat :bbb!
I don't think Haye will stop him. Before I was going for a unanimous decision for Haye, based on the Holyfield fight, but now I'm not so sure. Was that the real Valuev against Holyfield or was it just one of those nights for whatever reason? I'm sitting on the fence for now.
i hope haye wins dramatically, fights 2 or 3 good opponents and builds up the hype for a wlad-haye unification- then gets KO'd in an exciting fight to improve wladimir's legacy :thumbsup
I think a lot of people are underestimating Haye. He pulled out of the Wlad fight in my opinion because of setanta e.g he would be receiving no money, setanta a month later went Bust. To chef etc who will say "why did he not speak to wlad" etc..as if wlad would have given haye anywere near his initial tv deal. I cant defend him pulling out of the Vitali fight.. but then no one knows the real reason! Anyway he was a great amateur, thus depsite his seemingly style of power punching, He is capable of boxing and i fancy hell get a tko late rounds. His chin is definetly not as bad as some jokers on here make out, but it has still not been tested at HW.Barrett hit him when he slipped. But i fancy hell play it patient unless he has The giant in dire straits. Time will tell.
If he does then he should deserve a lot of credit for doing so. I don't think he can but he does have the tools to win. He would have to rattle of numerous combinations and for them all to land flush for him to knock Valuev out. Haye has power, no doubt about it but I question if it will travel to heavy as much as people think. He certainly gets a lot of leverage in his shots and has the ability to land. I see Haye getting TKO'd before the tenth but putting on a good show up until then. If he does win then he should get all the credit in the World.
People say Haye will pull out again. Well, if he pulls out again and again, when does he make any money? When does he capitalize on the hype he's created? Haye is definitely not going to pull out 100%...!
Good post. I don't like Haye much but still my hat will be off to him should he win against Valuev, no matter how.
all props to Haye to win hopefully hell start to talk a lot less shitt and fight more... i still dont think haye has a good chance in this one...
