2. Fragomeni sat on his arse because Haye was blasting the living shit out of him. His corner were in the ring to stop the fight before the ref did.

Lets be real.

If he fought Abdoul on purpose to prove or improve his stamina obviously even Haye was admitting he has shit stamina. The fight itself there was barely a punch thrown, so Haye was trying to pace himself because he knew he has shit stamina. I remember Jim Watt comenting on how fighting at such a slow relaxed pace is proving nothing. Like someone mentioned about the sprint training. Most mediocre fitness level fighters could piss that pace but made fight a harder pace and they would tire. Hayes opponent list apart from glass jaw macaranelli have all been 35 and over and nearing the end of their careers after KO's or retirement. He has been able to get away with hands low and a week chin. He hasnt fought anyone sharp for a long time.

Yeah I agree. I slated the fuck out of him for doing it at the time. Going the distance for the sake of it meant nothing. However, it was done on purpose. And subsequently Haye has scored late stoppages and a points win.

So the stamina issue shouldn't be used as an excuse, should he lose

I think he still has issues with stamina. None of last few opponents have really been at the stage of their career that theycould really put any effort in. Only Valuev was a top 10 heavy.

The Valuev fight. Haye didnt do much different to what Holyfield did.

I domt know whats going to happen but if Haye thinks he can do what brewster and Sanders did hes in for a surprise. Although both have dodgy chins they are both natural heavys and can absorb punishment.
