    But then neither does a points victory for either man for me.

    Haye will win mid rounds, if he did blow Fury out in 2-3 rounds id actually say it was quite impressive and even more so vice versa

    Well, Fury might be drilled to fight a disciplined cautious fight at a distance, and Haye might just backpedal and hardly punch.
    We saw Fury fight like that against Johnson.
    We've seen Haye fight like that against tall fighters (Wlad and Valuev).
    So I think it could be a dull points win either way.

    I hope you're wrong but I'd say this is a real possibility.

    I just dont see it myself, i there is a possibility yes but i dont think haye will be as cautious as he was against Valuev or Wlad, or that Furys style will pose the problems that Wlads did (his footwork etc)

    In terms of a Fury win i can see his best chance being points, im not sold on this theory haye will be there for the taking after 9-10 rounds

    Tyson has been dropped by Pajkic a light hitting Canadian, was seriously rocked by Firtha, a fat taxi driver from the US with a 25% KO ratio and also dropped very hard by Steve Cunningham, a small HW coming up from CW and not renouned for his massive power. In every instance it was from the same shot, the over hand right. This is Hayes biggest weapon. All of these opponents managed to land the OH right despite having slower hand speed than Haye.

    This is a fact: Haye WILL land the OH right at one point in the fight, and it WILL be more powerful than the shots that put Fury down and seriously shook him up before. Haye is not a light hitting fighter like the others mentioned above, he has 24 knockouts out of 26 wins. When he lands the OH right just prey that his Pikey gang doesn't start a massive riot and turn the fight into a NC.

    All indications point to a Haye KO victory.

    Yeah, but remember Cassius Clay was decked by left hooks from Sonny Banks and Henry Cooper before he fought Sonny Liston, who had a faster, more powerful, more rangy left hook than both of them.
    Liston failed to knock Clay down.

    I don't believe Fury has the talent to make the necessary adjustments to avoid being hit by the OH right. Ali was operating on a different plain skillswise compared to Fury.

    Yeah, I know (comparing Fury to Ali is hilarious in itself) ......... but Haye's no Sonny Liston either !

    Point is, we should all expect a new improved Fury for the fight. We shall see how far he can correct the weakness on the night.

    Even Tyson and Peter Fury know that Haye should beat the Fury of the Cunningham fight.
