haye will be either a great or not so great.i see ali or second coming of roy.but i also can see jeff lacey and or the prince.i respect the klit bros, i dont think the are the best boxers but they are the most effective.ill see what he can do to either of them before i jump on his bandwagon.

id like to see him fight peter, just to see if he as the power to put peter out and not get caught with peters punches.id like to see him fight eddie chambers and james toney.

No.

Knocked down against Thompson and Mormeck. Has shown a lack of stamin past the mid rounds, doesnt have anywhere near the defensive prowess that Ali had. Haye is a reflex fighter, once his speed goes he would be left with nothing but a big punch.

I think Wlad is absolutely going to **** him up personally. The difference in boxing fundamentals and skill is going to be profound. Haye is going to struggle with the jab, the ring generalship, the power, and the timing of Wladimir, and also being the smaller man in the ring. And I believe Wladimir is physically stronger than Haye as well, despite Haye being more muscularly bulky.
Haye's aggressiveness is going to be quickly tempered by Wladimir's superior tact and sound boxing. He is going to be forced to try to close the gap and bring the fight to Wladimir and is going to get frustrated and tired out in the clinches. The first big punch Wlad lands will be telling. If Haye takes it, the fight goes into the later rounds. If he gets hurt, it will be over by the 8th, likely sooner.

I can easily see Haye getting caught with a well placed left hook and get absolutely staggered and spun around by a straight right, and that could happen in the 1st or 2nd, any round for that matter.

Spot on,Haye will get hurt and KO'ed in brutal fashion.

Ali was never knocked out at Cruiserweight.
