Valuev's chin

Can't really say anyone has really ever landed enough clean shots against Valuev so as to say his chin has been tested. Haye is the first legit power hitter he will have faced, although Haye's power at heavy is largely an unknown because knocking Barrett out doens't really amount to all that much.

 

Think that Chagaev hits fairly hard....and Barrett himself who was able to KD Haye and knocked out Tye Fields recently in 1 round has a decent power. Both landed clean shots on Valuev and he hasnt even blinked.

 

Exactly. Chagaev wasn't called the White Tyson for nothing.

 

I dont see Haye getting a straight one punch KO but i think TKO with volume of punches and ref stopping it.

I think he'll have success to the body too not just focusing on head shots.

Haye TKO round 6. Too fast, too strong.

 

We'll see - I think Valuev wiil get hurt more than in any other fight thus far.

I'm going Haye by mid-late stoppage.

 

To be fair, that's the biggest bull**** of a nickname in the history of the universe. Somehow I couldn't see prime Tyson taking 8 rounds to get rid of Michael Sprott or sliding past John Ruiz via SD.

 

Here is the news! Haye always goes for a KO, no matter what happens he will always try for a KO, which is a serious flaw(but it's ****ing exciting). If Haye does not KO this guy in 5 rounds Valuev wins. Mark my words.

 

That's the only way he can win mate, if Valuev takes his shots beyond the mid-rounds I can't see Haye winning.

 

Ask yourself this, in your vast memory bank, how many champions have had fights stopped by the ref?

 

Barrett knocked Haye down? Got a clip? I do remember a scrappy period in that fight but I never recall Haye getting floored:?

 

Valuev's chin is very good.

 

Wasn't valuev stunned in the first round vs Barrett and against bergeron midway through the fight or so??

 

He was disrespectful for calling himself that name! Fat,slow plodder who couldnt even dent Vladimir Klitschko's will or back him up!

 

I'm not sure, but John Ruiz definitely did. I think a big punch delivered quickly will be the sort which eventually fells Valuev. Whether Haye lasts long enough to land that is anyone's guess.
