Early poll Haye v Fury

[Dark Lord Al]

Why do people think this is going to be an early KO for Haye as if he's going to come out aggressive as hell?

On the two occasions he's fought giant heavyweights he's run like a pussy and will probably do the same against the 6ft 9 Fury. Fury can punch as well, so I just don't see Haye being the aggressor here.

I actually think Fury has a decent chance of winning this. If Fury can get his jab going I think he'll take a decision.

Simple answer , the two giant HW's Haye has fought where world class and proven , Fury is neither.
Valuev - Rock chin
Wlad - probably an all time great.
Fury - dodgy chin , little power , unproven.

Next question ?

So Wlad doesn't have a dubious chin then? Haye didn't exactly go looking for the KO in their fight did he?

I just don't see Haye going looking for Fury and I think Fury has enough power and physical strength to make Haye think twice about getting too close.

I would still make Haye the favourite, but a Fury win wouldn't surprise me at all.

Wlad having a dodgy chin yes , but come on please don't even mention Fury in the same breath , Wlad is a fucking great fighter.

Fury is unproven and Haye is not all that at HW. I don't really mind who wins, but will be supporting Fury as he will likely be the underdog and I don't like either fighter. Haye is boring and conservative and Fury is completely unrefined. At least Fury does come to fight, Haye really doesn't do that and I don't count jokes like Harrison or an ancient Ruiz.

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.
