    People see this as a relatively safe fight for Haye, but I'm not so sure. Barrett is not great, but he does have the habit of spoiling the party for so-called up and comers (See Beck, Guinn and Fields).

    In fact, I'll go out on a limb and pick Monte to do the same to Haye.

    Haye is no beck fields or guinn ... he has already fought good oppents at crusier that would probably beat all 3 of those guys... im predicting haye by ko early rounds

    65/35 Hayes wins this.

    Barret tends to be passive when facing opponents with power . . . check his old fights.

    If the Barret that shows up . . . is the Barret that is willing to trade . . . the it's a 50/50 fight.

    this is not a safe fight for Haye. IMO Barrett will knock the cornrows off this cornhole. and he will slink back to cruiserweight where he belongs

    Monte will be a good test for Haye. If Haye is as good as he claims, he should obliterate Monte within 2 rounds. (Cliff Couser did beat an overweight Monte)

    If Monte comes in at 215 to 220, I give him a good shot at being competitive.
    225+, it will be an early night.

    I guess the big question is, what does Haye prove by beating a relatively small, old Heavyweight that has already been knocked out repeatedly? Who's next, Chris Byrd?

    And if Haye loses, he'd better have a good excuse cooked up in advance "I really couldn't hit 'im as 'ard as I wanted, due to my fractured forearm...." -- or it's goodnight HW cash!

    I know, I know. I was wincing as I typed those names. But the point is that every once it a while Monte comes out and surprises the hell out of everybody. He ain't terrible.

    Meanwhile, Haye is busy sizing up the weaknesses of the Klitchko brothers. When you look straight through a fighter it makes it harder to see him punching you.
