Haye is a ***. If he wins it will only be because of a lucky punch landing on wlads chin. way the **** over-rated. only reason he is too, is because he doesnt stfu and this forum is filled with limeys who their free time sucking on his nuts.
Byrd and Chambers are fast Heavyweights with very good movements but they could not avoid Wlad´s Jab. Jab will have to take this hard jab and i believe Haye cannot take the punches Ibragimov, Byrd and Chambers could. Wlad can take punches, in his last fight he took a very hard left hook from Peter without any reaction, a very hard left hook from Chagaev (after the bell) without reaction. Haye cannot knock Wlad out with one punch, Wlad was never knocked out in his career. With Emanuel Steward Wlad learned how to survive when he gets hit. The fight will be more difficult for Haye than he think. Wlad is very fast, very good footwork, he can change the angles and hit his opponent with his jab while moving away and Wlad does not allow his opponents to come close. Wlad is a master of ringgeneralship. He dictats the movement of the opponents, so it sometimes look as they did not want to get close but Wlad does not allow it. That´s the difference.
Chambers is garbage. He has no footwork. Byrd had foot work, but he also liked to fight in the pocket. Byrd lacked any power so Wlad did not have to worry amount any incoming punches. I agree that Wlad does keep distance well. But he does not do it with superior movement, He does it with his size/reach, an illegal stiff arm and a with clinching on the inside. I also agree that Wlad is the favourite to beat Haye. I was just pointing out Haye's best strategy given what his skills and talents are.
Haye needs more than his right hand, he needs more than his left hand. As a matter of fact he might need to show a remarkable punch resistence. It's all gonna depends on how much Haye wants it, if he truly wants it he's gonna have to sacrifice. Is Haye ready to sacrifice? He's sacrificed years of his life for boxing, this time he might have to sacrifice more than that to win and show the world he's the champion of the world.
Haye can move, but for how long? Maybe 3 rounds ala the Carl Thompson fight? Wlad's ring generalship is the best in the HW division by far, it may be boring but he will not take any risks to beat you, his jab is all he needs to beat anybody, Haye will have to take the risks to get close, otherwise he will eat that jab for 12 rounds and lose a boring fight clearly on points. When he does get close he's going to get tagged with one right hand and Wlad will tie him up, Haye will need to work in those clinches and nobody seems willing to do that with Wlad, they wait for the ref to break. He better know he's getting tied up when he comes in and be prepared to pot shot the body all night if he plans on having any hope at all, he cannot trade on the outside with Wlad, he's too big and his jab is superb for a heavy weight, long dreadful night for Haye. I respect Dundee, but he can't help. His best training days are well behind him, and it never helps to change a trainer or bring another voice in to confuse things right before the biggest fight of your life. Dundees ability to assess fighters are behind him in a different time, last time he said he had the second coming of Ali it was Walter Estrada, enough said.
Theres no "like" Corrie Sanders, if Haye knocks out this version of Wladimir then it shows Haye is a top tier fighter in the p4p rankings. You don't knock waldo out just like another fighter, Corrie Sanders would'nt be able to handle this Wladimir. Haye KO Wladimir and Haye is a legend.

Haye's been down about 4 or 5 times I believe. Wlad 11 times, not 13 or 14. What slip? You talking about Monte? when Haye admitted he was knocked down???
