Half agree! He did talk himself into the Wlad fight and spew some major trash, but one should put little stock in what a fighter says where a payday is concerned, it's just good for the wallet to run the mouth a bit. I'm half inclined to rewatch Wlad-Haye in light of the Povetkin fight, perhaps Hayes drop to the mat tactics were more in hopes that Wlad would actually be warned for fouling than we realize, either way it made for garbage viewing though.

Not sure that the Chisora fight proves all that much aside from the obvious, Haye is one of the only explosive punchers in the division. For me Chisora would be just as likely to get KO'ed against Wilder, even Jennings or Arreola for that matter, and he did seem to be coming on against Haye a little bit until the end came for what thats worth.
