    "I watched him and he was training in my Fifth Street Gym," Dundee told the BBC. "I was pleased - I felt like he belonged right to that gym. He's an interesting human being. It was my first time being in person with the kid. I'm impressed because I like the way he handles himself and I like the people around him. There's much more than meets the eye.


    "I like everything about his style. I love a boxer, he can box and move. He feels at home in the gym and that's important because that's where the kids get in shape. he's blends with the gym. When Muhammad first came to Miami and to my gym he blended with the gym, the ring, the guys and he's one of the guys. David Haye can blend in anywhere, England should be proud of him.


    "There's a smile on his face and he talks. We've got to have fighters that talk so you (journalists) have something to say and somethign to write and DH gives you everything. And he can fight that's the important thing.
    "David Haye will go down in history, he's excellent, I'm very impressed.
    "I'm the worst picker in the world and I don't want to jinx the kid but to me he should beat Klitschko. You've got to go one fight at a time and take them as they come.


    "David Haye, after he knocks out Klitschko, will be with the top 15 (of all-time heavyweights). He's for real, he can fight and he knows what he's doing.


    "Every era has a different great fighter and David Haye belongs to this era. I respect him as a heck of a fighter."

    He refuses to jinx Haye, yet he proceeds to do exactly that in the very same sentence.

    Well done, Angelo, thanks to you we will be stuck with Wlad as HW champ for another 5 years.

    "I know more than Angelo Dundee and Nacho put together. I done forgot more than both of them know. Hey, look, write it down just like I say it. I done forgot more than both of them ever knew in life and one of them damn near 90 years old"

    Hmmmm...love Angelo but Haye top 15 HW if he beats WALDO?

    Nope. WALDO might be if he beats Haye, but not the other way round.

    Dundee want's another Ali. Haye's big mouth and childish antics have struck a soft spot with Angelo, bringing him back to his lost youth.

    Haye could be pretty high Regarded Champ if he beats Wlad and Then vitali too and make some defences for his reign.
    He jut should not retire after he beats Wlad but make some defences and have nice reign.

    Great trainer, but it's 2011 and he's not relevant as a trainer today. He's senile if he thinks Haye is going to win
