I think Haye was a lot more confident. I watched all the pre-fight build up segments and interviews and even though Fury was trolling and acting the part, every once and awhile he'd use language like "win or lose", "if I lose", ect. I think he even conceeded that Haye could knock him out if he caught him early or caught him good.In contrast, Haye's line never changed and he never he conceeded the possibility of defeat.
Maybe Haye is just a better con-man or has a better poker face, who knows. But I know Fury wasn't 100% confident going into that fight.
