Thompson has a really high quality chin for a heavyweight and he took some serious power from Wlad. I would really doubt that Haye could drop him, let alone knock him out.
Klitscho is actually terrible. A friend of mine who watched the fight said straight after boxing is crap! what does having such a poor heavyweight as champ do for the state of boxing?
Yes ... KO within 5 rounds ... Haye's fast, he can fight at a fast pace ... he's strong enough to get a flush shot and have it hurt Wlad. He's just as fast if not faster than Wlad ... his savvy is on a different level ... he has more natural rhythm and athleticism ...
Don't get it twisted either ... I'm a big fan of Wlad but as of late he hasn't been showing his opponents too much respect. There's not doubt in my mind that Haye knocks out Thompson and Ibragimov in mid rounds.
