Do you think Haye genuinely thinks he is better than the Klitschkos?

No.

If he ever thought he would be able to beat them, he would have taken the fight with Wlad 3 years earlier. Then fought Vitali to unify. He then would have written his own paychecks for the next 5 years. This would have made him the most money out of any option. Unbelievably more money.

While he did manage to build up the fight with Wlad and make some coin, that was only the best option if he knew he was going to lose. If he thought he would win, the best option was to get the belts and unify earlier.

The top dog in the heavy division still makes heavy coin. He would be ten times richer now if he had of unified years ago. But he didn't try because he knew that he couldn't.

 

Of course I saw it. He did nothing and looked like ****. He threw a few overhand rights to give himself a punchers chance but other than that he retreated the whole time. That doesn't mean he didn't think he couldn't win, it just means we (including me) didn't think he could win.

I still think Vitali beats him if the fight gets made. Haye just seems so cocky and confident that I believe he does think he's better than Vitali at this point in Vitali's his career. We can call him delusional if we want but in his mind he believes he will win.
