The odds wont be much different anywhere else.

You don't understand odds, you're naming 40/1 shots (Tyson-Douglas) with 7/1 shots (Ali-Liston).

So you think Haye is between 7 and 40/1? The professionals think 7/4? Good job you don't bet pal
So u honestly believe the odds reflect the chance Haye has against Vitali? The professionals also thought Douglas was 40/1 to beat Tyson so u can see its not always that bright to listen to them as well. The average gambler aint a pro and dont know shit about boxing really.
The odds obviously don't reflect EXACTLY the chances in the fight however they are a great gauge of a close expectation of the fight. Haye is seen as someone with a reasonable chance of winning however he is less than likely to win hence the odds of 7/4. There is no way you can put this on the level of Douglas/Tyson. Douglas was so overlooked by Tyson, the media, the boxing public in general that he was expected to get flattened in the first round.
