I don't think Haye's going to need to have a caste iron chin to beat wlad. Haye is explosive, powerful and elusive, the pawing jab that controlled chagaev will not work with Haye. Haye will be more elusive get inside quick and land a variety of punches. To which wlad will have no answer, apart from holding whenever he can. I thought it was a really poor showing from hi last night, I can't remember a more cautious, punch shy heavyweight champion. I really think Haye will give him a true beating, finishing him before the 7th.
