    ...or it is just BS hyping up the fight? Will Haye enter the ring supremely confident as per his words expecting to KO Wlad..or will he enter bricking it thinking "oh **** i've gotta really do it now for real"

    I'm in two minds...which way to take him. Your thoughts?

    I think he believes it and I hope he achieves it.

    Does he honestly believe that Wlad only fought crap opponents and he (Haye) himself comes of a series of fine victories against credible opposition (Valuev, Ruiz, Harrison)?

    That's what he says and if he believes that then he's totally nuts. I don't think he believes it though. I mean nobody can be that stupid.

    I would bet he believes he can do it, he's a fighter. Although I think Wlad is more confident about victory. I believe they both realize they are walking into a more dangerous fight than either has been in, in at least a while.

    I think a lot of what he says is to get attention and buys for the fight. With regards to nerves, I really hope he is nervous cos he'll need to be better than ever to beat Wlad and a few nerves will sharpen him up!

    Haye hyped himself up. You can tell by the press conferences haye knows he ****ed up Wlad's going to school him big time.

    All Haye's words only dug him into a hole anything more devastating than a close points loss and he will never be able to hold his head high again.

    Pretty much agree with this.

    I'm don't know whether he believes all the stuff about Wlad's crap record and whathaveyou but I'm 100% certain he thinks he can win. I think he can as well for what it's worth and I think he will.

    90% the former 10% the latter due to the nature of HW boxing

    He knows he can destroy Wlad and is very confident of beating him.

    I doubt he believes any of the the **** he says about his own or Wlad's former opponents etc, but I think he believes he will beat Wlad.

    In 40 years of following the fight game,i've yet to hear an opponent say he expects to be outclassed,and brutally beaten.So i'm saying NO,Haye is doing what he needs to in order to sell the fight and potentially increase his pay cheque.

    I think if we have to pose that question the answer is "NO!"

    He definitely believes he's good enough to win and will win but the rest is just hyping and selling the fight and obviously trying to pysche out Klitschko too.
