Are Klitschko fans actually worried about Haye?

    I'm always worried about the Klitschko's opponents, these are Heavyweights & anything can happen even if it isn't likely.

    This is the logical answer.

    Wladimir is a better fighter than Haye, but to write Haye off is crazy. He has a big punch and very fast hands and those two attributes alone make him a serious threat for Wlad, especially as Wlad doesn't have the best chin. Literally anything can happen in this fight, at any moment. When the bell rings, every fan watching should be aware that when you see Wlad **** his right hand, the fight may be about to be over and if you see Haye getting reading to launch a combination, it may be the end of Wlad's reign.

    Wlad is the better fighter but this is a risky fight.

    Let's talk about Haye's finishing skills. He had the aura of being a relentless finisher who once he smelled blood in the water knows how to get the stoppage and end the fight.

    I was quite intruiged in the Ruiz fight when Haye failed to stop Ruiz in the first round after the (legit) first knockdown. For some reason Haye allowed Ruiz to hang around for another half hour or so even though he could and should have ended it right there.

    What if Haye knocks down Wlad in round one? Will Haye be able to finish him? Or will Wlad have enough guts and stamina to recover and carry on?

    I'd bet on the latter. Haye looked a bit sloppy against Ruiz and also against Harrison. Tons of missed, wild punches as he tried to blow his opposition away. He'd have to do better vs. Wlad.
