      Done Deal...I'll sig it up.

        I don't like writing guys off completely, but I really see no way Rahman can win.

          Rahman isn't the big puncher he or others think he is. He landed one lucky punch on Lewis, but he was at his best as a boxer-puncher. He abandoned that technique after stopping Lennox and his career has suffered mightily since. Haye is a bit chinny at times, but he has no need to fear Rahman's shots. The above-average power is diminished and even Stephen Hawking can get out of the way of a Rahman right hand. Haye KO's Rahman and will bet anyone who disagrees.

            Don't underestimate Ibragmimov mate. Wlad, sure hes all class. But Ibragimov has a lot of talent.

              This is actually the fight i thought haye might have taken. It makes sense as rahman has a good name is ranked for some reason in the top 5 by the wba and is a former champ. I think haye will win this by KO in the first 5 rounds but haye has to keep the right hand up higher as rahman's only weapon is the straight right.

                this is good management and matchmaking from maloney.

                hopefully sky will push this fight enough for haye to get some long-overdue media attention in the uk.

                i don't think haye will suddenly start keeping the left up - that bad habit seems a little ingrained. i do think he will have the reactions to keep out of the way of anything rahman throws though, and see The Rock walking into a lot of stiff jabs and straight rights himself.

                  I doubt Rahman has much of a chance of winning this one.

                      I will put all my points on Haye to not only win, but win by a Knockout.
