    Too much speed and power on Hayes side.

    This is a 3 round fight for him.

    People rate Takam based on his competitive showings with Povetkin and Parker, and the fact that he's never been blown away by anyone in his career. He's very similar to Chisora in that despite not having the strongest win resume he's known for giving proven fighters a hard time. Takam's a superior fighter to Chisora however in terms of his skill set and conditioning. If he were to fight Haye it would be considered one of Haye's toughest tests and certainly not a guaranteed win.

    As for what he does better than Haye, well, he applies more consistent pressure, he uses his jab more effectively over the course of a fight, he takes a better punch, and he doesn't gas out as fast. He's a solid meat and potatoes kind of guy, but as far as that goes there aren't many that are better.

    Dont know why people are downplaying this fight so much.

    Yes Haye should rightfully be the favourite, but its not like hes fighting some scrub.
    Hes the WBC Cruiserweight champion, and been on a good run of form lately.

    Haye isnt abig HW, and there'll probably only be about 10lbs between them in the ring.

    Its a solid match

    Styles make fights and Bellew is made to measure for Haye with bells and whistles on.

    Its a miss match based on Hayes strengths and the styles of the fighters.

    Bellew is cooked if he is super aggressive because Haye loves to play possum and counter. If Bellew hangs bank and is coy, then Haye pot shots winning rounds from the outside, and eventually finds the moment to step in with his athleticism and explode all over him.

    There is only one winner- Haye

    That can be any journeyman through out boxing...you DONT rate anyone based on they are TOUGH ,its about the wins! Where would you rate Huck at HW ? didnt he give Povetkin a better fight than Takam?

    Haye has better footwork/speed / size and style with power and experiance with top guys....thwe REAL answer is practically nothing Takam has on Haye! And was actually Hayes sparring partner because that is what he is mostly good for ,durability but he is no Haye ...if that was the case wouldnt Haye be used as his punching bag instead?
