You have said for months that if he fought a "real heavyweight" and any top 20 heavy who had any pop at all at the weight that he would be KO'd. As usual with you, we are now seeing total non commital comments like "It would not be surprising if Haye was stopped by Barrett" so that if that should happen you could shout about how you told everyone and you knew it all along and yet if Haye wins, you can say "No surprise, but the first time he gets in with a real heavyweight he gets starched" all over again. So quit with the vague, hedge betting crap. Who wins and how? And if you pick Haye, then explain how Barret is not a "real heavyweight" and tell me who you top 20 are.:good
I think Haye's chin is underrated, he has taken some heavy shots from power punchers at Cruiser, he has never been one and doned like lewis or Harrison for instance.
If Haye beats Barrett, Wlad will be his next fight. It will definately be sleepy time for Haye in that fight.
Bump... Come on Zakman don't do your usual trick please. And whether Haye gets starched by Wlad is irrelevant, I think he loses by KO to both Wlad and Vitali but that does not mean he cannot make a name for himself at heavy or that he is incapable of hanging with real heavies as Zakman has repeatedly said.
Thing is, it's the easiest thing in the world to predict. How many boxers at any level go through their career without getting knocked down or stopped? Just predict "brutal stoppage" in every single fight for someone and, odds are, it'll eventually happen. It's like how Ron Borges got all the credit for picking Holyfield to beat Tyson...it was more to do with the fact that he'd rather bite his own nose off than back Tyson to win and had been predicting doom for years.
