This fight shouldn't even happen!! Haye has done nothing as a heavyweight nor has he proven anything as a Cruiserweight fighting old guys and guys who also couldn't make it as heavyweight. The first time he fought someone who fought back he got stopped himself. He compares himself to Holifield which is really rather insulting because other than both fighting as cruiserweights Holifield was a far better boxer, had better endurance and could also punch. Haye against an in his prime Holifield would be a slaughter. haye is benefiting by fighting in a weak division and moving up to heavyweight where he would be fighting guys 20-30 lbs heavier who could take his punch would be the end of him. He's trying to talk his way into a fight with Vlad because of the money but unless he's nuts he can't believe he will win

What are you talking about, Mormeck and Enzo have never been heavyweights. You cant criticize his career at cruiserweight what more was he supposed to do? I really hope Haye can win the Heavyweight title.

People were so convinced Hatton would be dominating moving up 7 pounds to Welterweight and look what happened. Barely beat a Journeyman fighter named Collazo and got knocked out by Mayweather. Mormeck and Enzo where successful fighting as Cruiserweights because there were no GREAT fighters out there so they fought each other. Haye beat the Cruiserweights but all this talk about him dominating guys 20-30 lbs heavier is plain outlandish!! He is a media generated fighter who as a heavyweight would be lucky to be in the top 10 and believe me would have been stopped a lot more times than once. Keep in mind quite a few wins he had as Cruiserweight against so so opposition were in doubt before he won by knock out. The media is giving the impression this guy dominated every round he has fought and that's not the case he has been in trouble on numerous occasions against smaller guys which he managed to pull out by knocking out the opponant. The problem is when he hits a physically larger guy he won't have the same effect and the punches he'll receive will be harder than he's used to receiving. Say what you want about Haye but his chin against smaller guys is questionable, his stamina is certainly questionable at crusierweight and adding weight will only compound the problem because his speed will be affected. I understand the challenge since it would be a big money fight but that doesn't change the fact he doesn't deserve it nor is it likely he'll win it. If it happens I predict he'll be knocked out and do what Hatton did. Take the money and run back to his own weight division. As I've said before there's a reason why he hasn't campaigned as a Heavyweight, the fights would be harder and his own management knew that he'd be more successful fighting smaller guys and why they DON'T want a tune up before fighting VLAD
