Anyone remember how long Haye stopped sparring before the Ruiz fight?

Good idea from Wlad that. Joe Louis used to spar Eddie Futch because he felt if he could catch Futch then he could catch anybody. Futch was a very good amateur at bantam I believe.

It's funny how I've heard a few people say that Haye's sparring has been great and Wlad won't be able to get any one to replicate Haye.. well obviously Haye can't get anyone to replicate Wlad either.

The reason I don't think sparring is so crucial for a fight like this is because Haye won't be planning to take too many shots. Sparring is good to gain toughness and can help footwork and sharpness but I actually think it's a smart idea to have a good break from sparring before the proper fight. Now he has a fortnight to stay sharp and focus on his gameplan.

I expect Haye to fight Wlad exactly to a script that he and Adam Booth will have written out. Each step of movement, feint and power punch thrown will be with meaning and purpose. They're very, very meticulous like that.

David Price is similar to Wlad
