Is there any hope of Haye winning this one? Can Haye use his speed to good effect to disrupt Wladimir's style? With both fighters not having the best chins, will this result in a KO decision?
He has a very good chance! this fight ends early either way! 45% Haye does it 55% Wlad! remember speed kills.
I think they both have a punchers chance. I will be surprised if Haye let's Klitschko turn it into a boxing match. I think it will be a very short slug fest.
His hand speed and power definately give him a chance. His lack of foot speed and questionable punch resistance could hinder him greatly. If his chin is really as bad as some on here think it is and even Wlad's ram rod jabs stun him (like Presscot's jab stuned Khan) then Haye had better get inside and land a big right hand on Wlad's chin straight away because he won't last long. Haye has a tendancy of keeping his left low and despite his quickness he doesn't move out of the way of shots to well. He tends to just ride the shots by turning his head and moving away. If his punch resistance isn't that good at HW then even a half glancing shot by Wlad will hurt him. Either way some one is getting KO'ed badly. Should be good.
You need to learn the definition of hype job. A lineal champion in a weight division is not a 'hype job' - there may be fighters a level above, but that term is just wrong.
He has accomplished virtually nothing at HW except for trash-talking his way into a title shot. Reagardless of what he accomlished at Cruiser, he is a hype-job at HW, until he proves otherwise (he won't).
