    Funny, Ive always put you one step away from Farmboxer himself.

    I'll defend the British fighters when other people are always so quick to attack them with usually no/little knowledge of them whatsoever.

    If you do that youre always going to see my name.

    I'd say "do something about it" but I know you won't.

    It was probably a little optimistic to expect the same from Farmboxer. Since you like sticking up for him, perhaps you two could meet up and swap phone numbers?

    I'm with Haye here. In terms of resume, they're sort of equal, but h2h, i'd go with haye all day.

    Sticking up for farmboxer? I called him crazy, then insulted you by saying you were down at his level. That's really sticking up for him, isn't it?

    ****, you really do have **** for brains. Could you get any more ******ed? You had one chance to seem smart and you ****ing blew it.

    Wow, just wow.

    Welcome to my ignore list. I have no time for people who are so ****ed up in the head that they become functionally ******ed. You stink up this forum with your bull****, and it doesn't take my degree in psychology to know you are a worthless human being away from this forum too.

    I would rate Haye higher because he seems to be better at executing in the ring, under pressure. Povetkin appears to lock up easily and always appears nervous to me. Technically and skillwise Povetkin may be the more complete boxer but what good is that is that if he can't execute.

    We will see how Povetkin does against Wlad in the early rounds but I have a feeling he will freeze during the first few rounds and not land anything meaningful while taking a lot of punishment himself.

    We'll have to see if Povetkin's chin is any better than Haye's. We know Haye's is not made of granite but we have no idea what Povetkin's is made out of. Once Wlad drops a bunch of steelhammers we will know more.

    I would say Haye, the more naturally gifted athlete out of the two...

    Povetkin. Their resume is about equal, but if they would fight eachother I would put my (v)cash on Alex any day. I think he would walk Haye down.

    Whilst i can accept that there are people who genuinely believe povetkin, these figures who are distorted by haters who confuse talent with personality.

    ask yourself this.

    if haye was to fight povetkin next, who would be favourite?

    doesnt take my degree in mathematics to tell you it would be haye.

    anyone responding to this post with genuine comments, feel free.

    but anyone saying **** like "haye is a *****" dont bother, it gets boring after a while.
