Haye confirmed his first mistake yesterday.

^Nah, i think its Wlad who's underestimating Haye. Haye is using mindgames to make Wlad think he's underestimating him. He knows how dangerous Wlad can be. He's definitely not taking him lightly. He knows this will be his toughest opponent ever and is training hard for it.

I've said from the start, Hayemaker is underestimating Klitschko. He thinks because his chin is made of wet toilet paper it's an easy win! Haye won't know what hit when that jab lands, he'll end up running and on the backfoot. Wlad by KO.

i dont see it either the klitchskos are like pacquiao ,it seems like they're opponents are underperforming but in reality they're jut too good yeah haye can punch but when was the last time anyone landed something clean on wlad?

his first mistake was signing the contract. Hahahaha!! :D

I saw some footage of haye throwing his jab out and it looks just as good and powerful as wlads.

Haye meant that wlad is slow compared to himself,Haye definately has the edge on speed,upper body movement and footwork/speed. And Haye will be okay seeing wlads punches being thrown,hes had much quicker thrown at him at cruiserweight. He does NOT underestimate opponents,him and booth have stated it would be stupid to not respect wlads ablitities,and that they know what haye does well,what he doesnt do well and they use both of that to make the best possible game plan for haye vs any opponent. Haye knows wlads jab is key,that it is faster than it looks,it is a power punch almost,that wlads range and distance keeping abilities are good,that opponents get caught in range and backed off on the ropes,that wlad is very heavy and him leaning and holding really puts all his weight on opponents and wears them out,saps their energy/speed/power/movement from them. Wlad thinks haye doesnt respect him,he does,as an opponent,but not as a person. He has the edge in foot speed, not in footwork, Wlad has the edge in pretty much all the boxing fundamentals including footwork.

WHo at CW had faster hands than wlad? At hw haye has fought the slowest punchers around. He fought barret who throws slow hooks, valuev who is like an ox and ruiz who is a joke and slow as ****. Wlad will be the fastest guy he ahs fought. haye also likes to use wild swinging hooks and punches, this will lead him to be caught over and over again buy wlad. Imagine haye jumping in with a wild swing and getting caught with wlads short left hook? One hit ko for sure.

Wlad by KO, sorry David.

Bottom line to me is Haye's own chin. If it were great, 50-50 fight. Since it isn't, a probable win for K via KO/TKO. Unless Haye can dance for 12. I agree to a certain extent, I think if Haye had a decent, Chagaev type chin he could cause Wlad some problems. However, as I don't believe Haye can take even 1 flush power shot from Wlad, and it being unrealistic to think that he can avoid an accurate, quicker than given credit for puncher all night, my prediction is Wlad by KO.

Wlad isn't slow, but he's slow compared to Haye. That much is clear.

Those are mind games buddy.Just like when Ali used to say 'is that all you can do'.Dont believe the hype,he's just discrediting WLad's strengths to gain psychological advantage He may be trying that. I honestly believe after all the years of hayes delusional rubbish that he actually believes his own hype. It wouldnt surprise me if he actually thinks wladdy is some slow plodding giant like valuev. If haye does think that then he will be Ko'd very quickly

I was watching the press conference in London yesterday and Haye confirmed his first major mistake IMO. He said how slow wlad is. Wlad has always surprised people not by how hard he hits but by how fast he is for a guy his size. I haye thinks wlad will be hitting air all night then he will be in for a very painful night. Wlad will probs be the fastest guy Haye has ever fought and without a doubt the hardest. I seriously think wlad will KO haye within 6 rounds. Those are mind games buddy.Just like when Ali used to say 'is that all you can do'.Dont believe the hype,he's just discrediting WLad's strengths to gain psychological advantage
