I give him about a 30% chance. It all hinges on whether he can get past that piston jab to land, and get Wlad in one of his panic modes, like Sanders
With haye's power and wlad's chin he has a punchers chance. Until he learns some defence he will get obliterated. Jab, jab knocks him back and then a straight right down the pipe knocks him cold while the arm that could have saved him is dangling around his waist...
This has got to be one of the stupidest posts I have read on this board for a while, and that is really saying something!
At this point, only a slim chance. Right now, I'm not sure if Haye can beat a top 20 HW. Simply because, he has not fought at HW. Lets see a few of Haye's fights at the new weight before we get ahead of ourselves.
I'd give Haye a very slim chance. Haye's best attribute is not his power it's his speed, and Wladimir is still faster, just look what he did to Byrd twice who is known for his speed & elusiveness. Haye's defense is no where near Byrd's level, which is why he eating the jab early & sleeping when Wlad let's the right hand go.
