And if you think Haye will fight either Klitschko in the manner of any of his other HW fights then your totally delusional. We all know boxing is a game of tactics and skill and at the moment Haye is quickly developing in both skill and ability to follow a tactical game.
That was a different Wlad of a different time....

That Wlad gave up height and reach, that Wlad leaned in and was vulnerable to various punches AND Sanders was a southpaw.

Today's Wladimir fights tall, he utilizes his reach, he doesn't allow fighting on the inside, he doesn't allow the other fighter to mix it up and is economical with his punches.

The reckless version of Wlad is looooong gone, now he's just a dominant heavyweight champion.

I forsee a fight that has Wlad's opponent waiting for an opening that never comes and eating punches until he can no longer continue
