Do you see Haye knocking Wlad down or making him panic?

I think Wlad is going to be very wary in the early rounds. Although with Haye winding both brothers up a treat, Wlad may come out on the offense from the first bell and try to punish him...playing right into Hayes hands.

 

It's not guaranteed, but given the right circumstance it's possible.

Wlad seems to worry at times, is a little tepid for action and Stewart's bollockig of him highlights that.

 

I think Haye has to tighten up his defense when he comes up against either Klitschko, and when I say tighten his defense, I mean improve his reflexes and head movement significantly from what we saw against Ruiz.
If Wlad comes out and goes straight for Haye early, and doesn't land anything significant...he could be in a world of trouble. All it would take was for Haye to counter Wlad's jab and catch him with one of those explosive right hands.
Although it's alrite me saying this, Haye needs to show he can do it.

 

Both guys can easily knock each out but Wlad to me has much the better tools for the job

 

Both Haye fans and Klitschko fans alike are really eager to get answers to these questions. Will this fight happen this year? Shame on everyone involved if it does not.

 

Yes, its possible. That's Haye's biggest chance of winning the fight. He has to do something to get Wlad worried. Hit him hard early, talk mad trash before the fight, whatever it takes to get into Wlad's psyche.

If Wlad is confident its a very difficult fight because we're talking a big, skilled puncher against a smaller, skilled puncher and then there is the massive problem of getting around the jab. But if Wlad is not throwing with conviction that is when Haye has his chance.

 

I agree his best chance is to try and get in his head and revert him to bambilegs but I dont think its gonna happen. Hayes going to get knocked out bout round 8

 

And you believe that Haye can take Wlad's punch? Really? Haye has deliberately choosed the most high-profile non-punching heavies he possibly could. Honestly, you couldn't have choosen three fighters who had less of a punch and were still generally respected for what they had done in th PAST than Barrett, Valuev and Ruiz.

 

Wlad's so called 'panic attacks' occured too long ago.

But considering Haye's speed and power, I wouldn't rule out a possible knockdown.

Not that I give this scenario much of a chance, though.

 

I'm sorry. You seem to simply lack critical thinking skills. There's no comparison between beating a young Eddie Chambers and Chris Byrd and defeating Valuev and Ruiz? Are you serious? Ruiz was 38 and had a record of 4-3 over the past 5 years. Valuev was clearly on the slide and was ranked number 7 by Ring magazine as a title holder...that's how much the professionals thought about him. No of the fighter that either man faced were puncher at the time that they faced them. Understand. Valuev hadn't had a knock out in over 4 years when Haye met hime. Ruiz, as I mentioned was completely washed up. Barret...please.
