    You guys underestimate hype and there is truck load of it surrounding this fight. Haye may not be Holyfield but legacy of the fighter has a lot to do with how he was perceived and perception becomes new reality. If Haye gets beaten to pulp and than gets knocked out in 12th like WK himself predicted than all the hype Haye had going for him will destroy him but if he make fight very competitive than that hype will act as multiplier and bring Haye up there with Holyfield. I know it wont be rational to do so but most of the people who will be speculating about Hayes legacy will be younger generation who never even seen heavyweights of the past.

    What was Mike Tyson's defining fight? Trevor Burbick?
