If anything this could be a boring fight, a little like Valuev. If Fury fights stupidly then he will get stopped, but with a little caution he can wear down Haye who will need to be on his bicycle.
This is kind of how I see it.

Haye hasn't really beaten any credible opponents at heavyweight and his performance against Wlad was absolutely pathetic. He beat Audinary Harrison, an ancient and shot Ruiz and Chisora who is little more than a journeyman whose lost God knows how many fights in a row. Big fuckin' deal.

Fury, sure, he's not exactly set the world alight either, but he's a seriously big man and he can punch. Yes, he's been down, but he's got up and gone on to win.

Haye will run. The only question is whether or not Fury is smart enough to keep Haye on the end of his jab and not leave himself open. And yes, can Fury take a decent shot from Haye and stay on his feet or get straight back up if he does go down?

I just don't see Haye as the massive favourite some people do - especially for an early knockout.
