    The worst part is being in a bar with one of these in them, you run upto it thinking you're all macho in front of the ladies, and punch it like Paulie Malignaggi. The thing hardly moves. It's as if it's laughing at you. "It's fucking broken this thing, stupid machine...". It's happened, trust me.

    Haye better have a better plan then banking on his power and leaping in on Wlads chin in hopes of getting it home early. That jab isn't just going to turn to fairy dust when he clicks his heels. Style wise and temperment wise I can def see some points being docked before its all said and done.

    Lets be honest here Samuel Peter, Lamon Brewster, Corrie Sanders and Ross Puritty were at their very best average fighters but all seemed to do well against the mighty Wladimir Klitshko...lol

    Haye is in a totally different league than the aforementioned and I cannot see any big problems for Haye...unless Wlad lands a lucky punch I can see Haye doing a fine job and getting Doctor Steele to retire the ring for good

    It actually annoys me when people say Haye's power is overrated, I mean he doesn't always knock his opponents out but he has a habit of hitting guys and making them drop, fall over, take a knee etc. Fighters simply crumble under his power. He has VERY heavy hands.

    Oh and Tony Thompson has gone on record as saying that Haye hits harder than Klitschko

    ....Unless you know how to fight tall and then it could just be a 1 inch advantage and it could seem like 3 feet. Fighting a boxer that knows how to fight tall can be extremely frustrating.

    I like the way papers say Haye is 6ft 3 inches as I am sure he must be 6ft 1 at most. Height will certainly be a huge factor in this fight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    What one fighter does doesn't always correlate with what another can't.

    Haye might not win, but you're using a pretty shitty barometer to measure power.
    Top Trumps actually.

    Na master, you size up Haye to Ruiz and you can see he is what it says on the tele.

    Disagree Jim, they said tyson was 5ft 11 half but he never was, Haye does not look 6 "3

    Have a photo of tyson standing next to my twin (who is 6 2" maybe 3").

    Tyson is a shade shorter and was likely taller when younger.
