    How will he react?

    I always find it interesting to see how someone with an ego like David Haye reacts to a defeat. Carl Froch had a bit of a moan after his defeat to Kessler but came back better than ever against Abraham and I respected him a lot after that. Amir Khan has done the same. James DeGale has just proved what most of us knew and that he will always be a complete *****.

    After all the mouthing off and talking bollocks for 2 or 3 years, will we see a hidden humble side to David Haye? Or will he go down the James DeGale route?

    I'm a Haye fan, but if he gets destroyed, I have a feeling he will retire...Similar to the way Hatton went into retirement after his KO loss to Pacquiao...

    He would be humble in defeat.

    London, Miami, Northern Cyprus, Hollywood - These are a few of the places you'll need to go to if you wish to hear anything from Mr David Haye after the 2nd of July.

    There'll be no more Soccer AM or Chatty Man appearances.

    In all fairness though, I think he'll probably be quite humble about it. I expect him to come up with a few excuses for whatever reasons and in general I think he'll admit that Wlad was just too big for him and a little better than he thought (not that I think he's underestimating him)

    If he keeps his word he'll retire straight away so we won't know.

    That loss against Thompson was quite early in his career. He's a lot more high profile now, there's a big difference.

    He was humble after the Thompson fight,so i expect him to be humble if losses to wlad.

    Team Hayemaker allways seem realistic in their approach,and Davids trash talk was to get the fight in the first place and now it`s selling the fight and trying to **** wlad off.If he loses he will be humble and go off into the sunset with millions of pounds.

    It's an intriguing fight because each guy has so much on the line -

    if Wlad loses his legacy will be in tatters and if Haye loses he will be regarded as a joke.

    That was a very different David Haye back then, and one of the many reasons why I was a fan of him.

    If he loses this time round, I'd like to think he'll be humble and admit he lost to the better man. But because he's promised so much, I can't help but feel that he'll resort to making up lame excuses, or turning his attention to a rematch or Vitali in an attempt to redeem himself.

    He'll begrudingly shake Wlads hand and blame the media circus surrounding him which affected him pre-fight.

    Or on the other hand he could be so embarrased he will react with a Zab Judah style tantrum with stools being thrown, riots and claims he was cheated? Who knows.

    For the record, i think he'll win though!

    I think he is still deep down the same person as he was then.If he loses we will find out for sure.I think if he loses he will walk off in to the sunset with his millions,content with being a unified cruiserweight champion and a belt holder at heavyweight.
