Why does Haye despise Wlad so much?

[Spicoli]

I think there is some real fear on Haye's part.

There would have to be a fair bit of that. So you go from old man Ruiz to Harrison.....to Wlad Klitschko. Haye has been all smoke and mirrors and HW and he knows it. That's why the retirement fund was boosted before finally having to face the music that is Wlad. Now it's time to cash the chips and make sure the beating isn't too bad.

Just maybe he really believes he has gone up the right way and believes he is on track, but I think he would have to be seriously deluded to think that. Haye has talked his way through HW. He hasn't actually beaten anyone that a 48 year old Holyfield couldn't.

You make some good points but I doubt Holyfield beats Monte Barrett and he wouldnt blast away Harrison either like Haye did.. Not even sure he beats Harrison..

Haye's resume at HW is pretty respectable imo. I mean, who else was he supposed to fight to prepare himself for Wlad who's head and shoulders above the rest?

People talk about how he ran against Valuev but the truth is, he did exactly what he was supposed to do against a towering giant and it would have been foolish for him to do otherwise. He showed the ability to stay composed and execute his gameplan for 12 rounds.

This is the right time for him to face Wlad..

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Grim reaper gives Holy the day off and he beats Barret

I'll jump up and down on the whole tree and say my 18 yr old niece could have beat up that Harrison.
