    Good point. Haye is no Chagaev, Brewster, Ibragimov, or Peter in the chin category. If he eats those same kinda shots that those guys took, he will be on his back a lot sooner than they were. Count on it

    What an ignorant statement. Range matters a lot in the ring and obviously a taller man who knows how to use their length is at a great advantage.

    Only people who think the Klits height is not a factor are people who don't Box. Height in the hands of a skilled Boxer is very useful. Add to that the size factor and you have an even more impressive advantage.

    I think Haye could do something, this is Boxing, but the chances of it are not likely.

    Correct.

    If you never boxed before, then you probably have no idea how much a height and weight advantage can add to the leverage on your shots + control of range. WLAD has both advantages and he's going to use them to win this fight.
