Haye Fans Gather Round: What's the winning formula?

[BIG H]

I honestly don't rate Wlad that highly in an all time capacity. He's the 2nd best out there now and has had a very good career. His brother is far superior imo.

I also think Haye is vastly overrated, I just don't see what everybody else seems to. I have never been sold on him and still am not.

I really want Haye to win, but I think he is going to get beaten like a little boy. First time Wlad connects properly Haye is toast imo.

That said, I give him a punchers chance and for me his best bet is to come out in round 1 a la Tyson and go for it!!!

i read somewhere that lennox lewis suggested he needs to stay on the outside like he did against valuev

im not sure, wlads jab is so quick i think he may get caught

i think he needs to get inside and through as many punches as he can and get out and stay well out until he has the chance to get inside and rough him up again for a bit

its kind of an outside for a bit inside for a bit combo

body head to

what do you reckon?

couldnt agree more with this evaluation.

However if Haye does win in explosive style then I will have to admit I got him totally wrong. Maybe we should discard the immature performance against Carl Thompson.

Theres not one fight Wlad has had in recent years when I havent had any doubts he will win but I do have them with this one

I do want Haye to win badly mind.

If he wins in first round I won't be shocked, if he loses in first round I won't be shocked.

The only thing that would surprise me in this fight is Haye by decision.

I can't wait for this one !

Are Haye haters welcome in this thread too?

So guys, when Haye is sprawled out on the canvas unconscious is he going to be belly up or belly down?

I'm going with face down.

I think it may go the distance because Haye will use his speed and ring movements by fighting on the outside. If he gets too close he will get hit with the jab and knocked out by the right hand. If he gets tied by Wlad he will get sapped by Wlad leaning on him and tiring him out. He will rely on his superior stamina and speed to take it into the later rounds and try and knock him out then, by which time I think time will have run out and Haye loses a controversial decision for the second British fighter in 2 weeks.

I agree with this 100% people talk of speed and distance , Haye has a chance early , but if he ships a big punch from Wlad a true HW puncher he will be Koed.
This is the most exciting build up in years for a hw fight. bombs away!!!!!

Haye fans? Bunch of homos.

The winning formula is not to prepare by fighting Barrett and Harrison, Adamek has a better HW resume for crying out loud.

This beatdown is going to be fun.

It is probably true that there are some homo haye fans but there are a lot more homo wlad fans. FACT

While I really don't know much about Hayes there is one factor that may be in his favor speed and endurance. That is a shady area where the large muscled Vlad is concerned. Chris Byrd is the name that comes to mind. I believe he boxed circles around this guy and stayed disciplined until it was over and it did not go twelve rounds. On the other hand, Vlad did improve and he learned how to box and he outweighs Mr. Haye. The jab followed by the hook will be the death of Haye if he stays still and showboats. In and out not search and destroy will win the fight for Haye but if he decides to showboat or stick out his tongue then speaking may be difficult for a guy that can't stop talking. Vlad is older now and Haye is young athletic and foolish in his approach where discipline and being cool with his younger eyes wide open to even the odds otherwise there should be a pillow on the mat to avoid further complications in an arriving concussion. It could happen either way and the guy with the better fists is the winner minus the arrogance on both ends.
