    I'd make Haye a 2:1 favorite.


    To those saying Haye's too small: he already fought most of his cruiserweight fights around 215, and with him standing 6'3", he's about equal in size to Barret. At any rate, the difference between 215 and 225lbs isn't spectacular.

    Barrett wasn't picked by accident. I'm sure Haye's team has vetted this guy thoroughly and are very confident Haye will beat him convincingly. There's too much money in future fights for Haye to take any chances early on at HW. For that reason, I voted 3-1.

    This will be interesting while it lasts.
    Barrett has exposed a few hype jobs in his time, so anyone who thinkd Haye is hype should be pleased.
    I dont count myself in that group. I think Haye has plenty to deal with most Heavies out there and I think he wins inside six.

    I think Haye's going to KO him in under six rounds...

    Haye is a bif favorite in my book, but a victory over Barett won't prove much. Barett is not a large heavyweight and he is not top 10 heavyweight.

    Interesting. Barret is a top 15 HW though. i was going to say that Haye moving up would warrant a test run with a top 15, and that would prove he was legit in HW, but then i guess a lot, if not most, weight class changes that are in the spotlight happen between 2 prominent fighters. jones ruiz, pac dlh, etc.

    So if Haye is getting this toe-dipper, he'd better win or he'll be considered a very, very noisy smear. but i think he'll take barrett in 3 rounds.
