IMO Wlad's athletic ability and jab nullify David Haye's speed...I just think Wlad has too much experience and there are too many questions about David Haye, I think this guy is so hyped up in hopes of glossing over his obvious flaws that lesser opponents have already exposed.
David Haye has potential but he hasn't proven anything at heavyweight other than he is a guy who can piss off Wladimir Klitschko the most...did you see his interview after the fight? Wlad doesn't want to beat David Haye he wants to punish him for 11 rounds and knock him out in the 12th...the way Wlad was talking and the way he fought, David Haye wouldn't last 4 rounds with him.
The guys Wladimir fights throw punches in every other fight they have had before or since but the reason they don't let their hands go vs Wladimir is because he hits hard and he doesn't give away angles or clear punching opportunities...that jab just takes the fight right out of guys, they stop looking for punching opportunities and start focusing on avoiding getting nailed with the jab.
That fight vs Chagaev is one of the most dominant performances at the very top of this division I have seen in a long time...Ruslan is no slouch, he's a top level fighter but he was just outclassed and overmatched.
