    Obviously a prime Haye dispatches him with consummate ease- but is Haye what he was? Is this version still enough for Bellew anyway? Overall is it worth a bet on Bellew seeing as the odds will be excellent and Haye hasn't fought a live opponent for ages..?

    This thread has been done numerous times and the answer is always the same. No.

    its boxing so always a chance. Its a very slim one but Haye doesn't have a iron chin so if Bellew can find a good right hand to Hayes head it is possible! I just wouldn't bet on it myself. I expect 1-4 rounds tops and Bellew will take a nap. But never can say never - its boxing and greater upsets have happened!

    Indeed. I did say in one of these other threads that Bellew's only hope would be a serious injury to befall Haye which is what actually happened. I still think that was the only way for Tony to win and I thought that was a very unlikely scenario.

    Like Glazkov vs Martin, I was wrong.
