I Haye has worked on his defence and isn´t fighting to arrogant he should win this one. But if he gets sloppy and catches a punch who knows...
Not the opponent I would have chosen to begin Haye's heavyweight campaign. Rahman is more shot and Maskaev would have made the perfect stationary target. All Haye would have to do against either is steer clear of right hands. Barrett's more of a live dog these days.
I am very low on Maskaev, he's a walking corpse of a man with an egg chin. Haye would blast him in 60 seconds, no doubt about it.
Haye can get stopped on any given day by any half decent heavyweight puncher. I think he will beat Barrett, but that is not a certainty. Haye does not hold a shot well at all, and he will find his strength advantage gone from his cruiser days, so his suspect stamina will be tested thoroughly at heavy
I think Haye is going to be the bigger man in his fight with Barrett. He's also going to be faster than Barrett and the harder puncher. I really don't see Barrett winning. If he does it would be an upset.
Its possible. Monte Barret is about the same size as Haye, and he has surprised before. It will be a good test to see how Haye does.
Of course Barrett CAN beat Haye, he's a fast, strong and athletic HW like Haye ... the question is "will he?" and I think the answer is "no"
