    The name calling is classless, they should be more polite before beating the **** out of eachother...

    not sure about that...even formula one drivers are known to dislike other drivers and avoid them.

    Wlad has a ton of heart or he wouldn't be champion and wouldn't have come back from his ko losses as strong as he has...

    BUT, he doesn't strike me as the type you would have to kill to stop, like Vitali seems to be...He just doesn't seem to have that atg mental toughness, although he hasn't been tested in a long time, maybe he surprises us (see Vitali after Chris Byrd)....

    Haye is doing it all wrong. He pushes all the wrong buttons. Wlad has holes in his mental defense. It is that Haye is internally afraid to truly make Wlad angry.

    not at all. I watched the interview, it's probably on youtube. Haye is not being sarcastic.

    "He genuinely thinks I’m just an irritating little man who happens to have the title and he’s going to swat me across the face."

    If Wlad does think this, then I'd suggest Haye really does have the psychological advantage.

    I'd imagine that's what Haye is trying to convey by saying it.

    everyone here reads too much into things. Wlad never underestimates anyone.

    Haye is good, he knows that.

    And says that. Says that he's gonna be exceptionally prepared, no underestimating. "Little man" refers to the "man", not to the fighter. Wlad explained it exactly this way.

    the "little man" was Haye's words, not Wlads though! Although Wlad did say Haye had a little head and a little Brain in an interview on sky :lol:

    How can people think he is going to undrestimate Haye? no chance, especially with Emanuel in his corner.

    One persons boxing career is OVER after this fight and it's not going to be Wlads!!!

    They may not be best friends forever, but they do respect each other.

    And bear in mind boxing is still different to F1 driving. You can't prepare properly for your opponent and train for 2 months if you don't respect him.

    Haye has done well to get himself in this position of getting a HUGE payday, it's that simple. Arguably he also has the chance to become a superstar should he emerge victorious. The talk isn't cheap, it is pure gold as far as both fighters are concerned, talk sells for these guys. I don't think Haye has a chance in the ring, I'm almost certain he'll be KO'd in fact. And yes, I'm a Brit.
