    Not good enough to avoid getting battered and stopped by Haye. This is going to be totally one sided and Valuev will be dropped in the first 3 rounds and stopped around the 6th.

    For once the jokes about the Matrix will actually seem like a fair assessment.

    It seems very good so far, but I've always pointed out that he's fought almost no-one considered to be a genuine good heavyweight puncher. It's mainly been boxers, or brawlers without a lot of pop. I'd be interesting in seeing how he handles multiple shots from a good puncher.

    As for never being hurt, nonsense. Barrett and Ruiz were two examples, but stronger than that is Bidenko turning his head into a speed bag for several seconds. Valuev didn't look too comfortable with that.

    Haye could have got to the same bargaining position by facing Peter when he was offered the chance. Instead he gave it the big talk about only wanting to face the best (the klits) and now he is fighting a circus act.

    A year wasted really from the Haye camp.

    Then you dident actually watch the fight. Iam a big Holfield but he dident beat the Russian,it was not even close son.

    Iam not a big fan of Valuev as a fighter either but I'll pick him to wear Haye down and KO him late on.

    I see Haye winning on points. Can't see Valuev getting put down by the fromer cruise champ.

    You must be joking. This **** couldn't wear any one down. His fitness levels are a disgrace for a professional boxer. Haye will dance rings round him and ko him in by the 5th.

    If it's in Germany then Haye has no chance of winning on points.

    Haye certainly has power to stun him, it'll take a good combination to put Valuev down though. If Haye puts Valuev down then I can't see him getting back up.

    Haye will not get beat on points no way !! German officials or not.
    Also, Haye will not knock Valuev out.

    He may stun him but will not knock him off his feet.

    2 scenarios.....

    1. Haye wins on points, doubtful but could happen
    2. Haye hurts valuev, has him up on the ropes and throws the sink at him. Ref stops the fight. (That is how I see it going)

    Haye gets up close and comes up the middle,the leaverage he'll get will be immense.
    I see him tearin the freaks ****in head off with a big R/upperctut L/hook.......TIIIIIMBER
     
  10. Can you imagine Valuev being K.O.'d? It would be like a tree being felled. How would they pick him up after?! If he gets K.O.'d against the ropes, he'll fall right over and land in the front row! But then like you say, he's never been hurt, so what are the chances.

    Mark my words, Haye stops him. He will be catching him at will and punching up which he prefers to punching down.
    Looping rights will find their target and Valuev will be stopped mid rounds.

    not if its a clear decision, or the WBA wouldn't be happy. they investigated the Holyfield fight, and that could have gone either way.

    Haye does not have the power to hurt Valouev, not even a little bit. It looks like Ruiz and Burstein will not allow Haye to fight Valouev anyway. Haye deserves to be left out in the cold.
