Technically Valuev has already been "exposed" by an over the hill 38 year old nothing special to begin with Larry Donald and by John Ruiz, both fights Valuev should've LOST. Wlad should beat him but I cant about Haye just yet..
His size is not all. He's got a mountain of a chin, good work rate and endurance. Haye might not like to fend him off for 36. It takes a patient and skilled boxer to do it.
Absolutely. Trying to KO Valuev will only make you exhausted. The key to beating him is speed and boxing skills.
Haye has the skills and speed to beat Valuev by a big points margin if (and it's a big if) his stamina levels at heavyweight are better than they were at cruiserweight. His fight with JMM showed me he has learnt how to pace himself against good opposition, he still looked good when knocking him out in the seventh and i don't think he'd have had a problem lasting the full 12 but with Valuev leaning his weight on haye for 30 minutes plus his stamina would be the deciding factor.
Having seen Ruiz and Chagaev fight the lumbering giant i think as long as Haye proves his stamina can last 12 rounds he'd take the victory 9 times out of 10.
