Let's be realistic - what are the odds that Haye pulls off an upset?

[erics44]

if haye wins it is only a minor upset

Come on Erics, outside of the dream world you seem to live in when it comes to Haye, this would have to be considered a major upset in the sport of boxing.

by major what do you mean? liken it to another upset

I wouldn't put it in the same category as say, Tyson - Douglas, but Lewis - Rahman I, comes to mind. If Haye KOs Wlad this would have to be one of the bigger HW upsets in years.
I think the main reason you believe it would not be a big upset, is you're overrating Haye and underrating Wlad.

a big chunk of the experts in the world think haye can win (maybe as high as 40%)

the only people in the world who thought douglass could win was probably him and his corner and i bet his corner had doubts

i dont think its anywhere near that magnitude

I didn't say Tyson/Douglas, I said it would be an upset closer to Lewis/Rahman I.

I don't know what fight this "big chunk" of experts is basing their opinions on, wishful thinking perhaps, but they obviously aren't looking at the facts.. Reread my OP in this thread for my reasons why.
