And by what Thompson said there about himself, you know there is no agenda, that he is speaking truthfully from the heart.
Thing is, Thompson and Harrison share a lot of similarities in terms of, both are southpaw's, both are longer than Haye, but here is where their disadvantages are, they are both flat footed, methodical, slow, lack offensive footspeed, only Thompson has more balls, he is more offensive, however that lack of a crisp, snappy jab, offensive footwork, is a problem for both.
Yeah should have been Grrrrrrreat, but I'm a fat fingered ******* who can't workout how to edit the title

sparring partners normally have to sign something saying they can't talk about what goes on in sparring, i'm not sure if haye has done that with his sparring partners, but alot of worldclass fighters do.
So what if he did knock down Haye? They´ve had weeks of sparring, to score a single knockdown is hardly this huge surprise...whats surprising about that in the heavyweights? To get knocked down doesn´t mean he was sparked out.
i'm not saying he will, i'm just saying alot of worldclass fighters now give their sparring partners a contract to sign, and in that contract it stops them talking about what happens in sparring, which is why you don't hear alot of what happens in sparring by the actual boxers.. it's nomally always a rumour, and theres a reason for that.
