    True, weird things happen, maybe Wlad will get hit by lightening during the fight, or go flying out of the ring like Kermit Cintron. I'll still stick with my one chance in twenty, if i'm wrong you'll still have to eat as much crow as I will...

    LOL, this is true! Like you I'm pretty comfortable though. Some here are imparting traits to 13 he has never shown as a heavy to argue his chance.

    The last Brit fighter I underestimated was Joe Calzaghe, I convinced myself that he was a paper tiger and/or an overrated fraud before his fight with Lacy. Boy was I ever wrong!

    Haye however, ain't no Joe Calzaghe, his skill level is not even close to Joe's. Haye's fans can impart all the imaginary traits they want, but it ain't gonna help Haye win the fight.
