    I've just thought

    Harrison is probably just a warm for a Toney fight..

    I can't defend this low-risk/no-risk, BS, cash-grab fight (unless I'm Haye's accountant)

    But, to say Haye can't bang at HW is just wrong... maybe you should ask Ruiz about that one. :!:

    haye isn't a huge hitter at heavy?

    are you kidding me, haye is the 2nd biggest puncher in the division.wlad's the only one who punches harder than him.

    and yes, haye would knock him out within 5 rounds.toney survived against peter because he could see all of his shots coming.haye's a much better boxer, and would be able to set up his punches better .. toney wouldn't be able to read were all the punches are coming from and would get caught cleanly more than a few times as haye use's his speed to set them up.

    Who has haye sparked to give you that impression? Ruiz no Barrett no Valuev no? the guy has 2 TKO's since moving to heavy when he lasy someone on the mat Like Wlad did to chambers.. then start comparing power right now haye looks like he has power but not one punch power enough to put heavys to sleep.

    That being said Toney is a cheater and has no business ever fighting again.

    It's a **** fight in the context of the heavyweight division no doubt.

    I just hope there are no Mayweather fans in here shitting on Haye. They're very quick to jump out with "I'ts PRIZE fighting", "dollars make sense" and all that other ****.

    This fight is being made for the money, no doubt.

    IMO, it's on a par with something like Floyd fighting JMM at welter, and then not making the agreed weight. A joke.

    And to be honest, Harrisons got more chance in this than JMM had v Floyd. Harrison can bang, and Haye can get wobbled.

    Haye should win with ease. But he might not.

    Yes James Toney would have been much better opponent, than Fraudley who lost to a cab driver year ago.

    No change if he would beat Toney, it would have to be by decision.
    But Hayes glass jaw would get tested in the progress, since Toney would certainly caught him with a clean counter shot, more than few times in the match.

    Haye is cashing in on the belt, and I can live with that as long as he does fight Wlad sometime.

    Toney is a joke and has been for many years, Haye would batter him a la Ruiz.

    I dont see any heavyweights beating Haye execpt for a Klit or maybe Adamek would give him a good fight.
