    Haye's power is overrated. I'm pretty sure that if himself and I tested our punch power on one of those machines you get in a pub, he would only get about 20 points more than me. True story.

    Are we playing with pokemon cards or talking about boxing? there's way too many variables to take into account to simplify it down to basic numbers like that.

    Ali was taken down the stretch by frazer... floored and beaten... Foreman CRUSHED Smokin' Joe... yet Ali stopped Foreman?

    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.

    ....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.

    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.

    It is a well know fact that Tyson was 5ft 10, Rocky 5 ft 9, they always add inches, ask any man he would do the same.

    Its all down to the fact , can Haye get in punching range with power punches without being hit , if he can then he can win , if Wlad hits him hard on the way in , Haye will be KOED.

    I just dont see the fight going more than 3.
