    I agree. Sultan's best plan would be to apply the cautious style he's used against Briggs for the first six rounds or so, then Haye would gas. At that point, Sultan goes on the offensive and KOs the weak-chinned Haye.

    Which is why he's looking for a shot aginst the top guy right away, I think he's worried he won't pass the early HW tests.................

    Exactly.

    Haye's avoiding a fight with anybody other than Wlad because if he had to work for it he wouldn't pass the test.

    A weak chin and no defense is not a good look at heavyweight. Power is not going to get you wins like it did at cruiser. It just wont. Think of Hayes style...He sits on the outside unloading power straight rights. Think of Wlads style. Fights on the outside punishes you with a stiff power jab and when he cranks down the right you go night night. The way to beat Wlad is to pressure him and get inside and get your work in there. Haye does not fight like that. He, himself has no inside fight game. NOBODY BEATS WLAD ON THE OUTSIDE. He keeps you out of range and he keeps his jab pumping. He would probably hurt Haye bad with a jab. Haye would not last 2 rounds and he would be knocked out in the worst way. ****, have Haye fight Brock or somebody of that caliber ..he would get knocked the **** out. No matter what he does the outcome is him getting knocked the **** out. But Wlad would end him.

    The Fragogemi fight, The Abdoul fight where he threw like 19 punches and basically just jabbed and 1-2'd showed me he didnt have much confidence in his own stamina.

    Any fight that goes over 6 or 7 rounds he hasnt look comfortable.

    I think especially at heavyweight this will be more of a problem because he will have a heavier guy leaning on him and wearing him down with heavier punches.
    I think he would prefer fighters he is a better chance of getting out of there quickly.

    That's also another thing new for Haye, they hit harder at HW than at CW.

    if you look in the background as moorer goes down you can see one of his corner men (near freddie roach) swearing and shaking his head, his expression is pretty damn funny, check it out if you have the fight

    Hayes balls must have shrunk soon as he heard the name Tua

    :lol:

    I think Haye thinks a win over the names Rahman or McCall would be better and a bit more prestigous for him, than Tua's name would.

    That, and the fact that Haye knows that a give and take thing with Tua always seems to work in Tua's favor.

    It would be a mistake to put him in w/ Tua as his first HW fight, despite how good he thinks he is. There's a reason not many CW's make good HW's.

    I would prefer to see him fighting Tua or Rahman instead of McCall.

    He will fight on the undercard of Klitschko-Thompson? That means that Haye-Klitschko could happen in late 2008, if they both win.

    Then Klitschko will fight Povetkin in 2009.

    Haye is a legend in his own mind.
