What if Haye gets knocked down? Poll!

Ok excluding Haye, Wlad and Vitali who is left?
Valuev is fat, Povetkin is fat, Solis is fat, Gomez is fat, Tua is fat, Arreloa is fat, Toney and Rahman are fat

Dimitrenko isn't fat.

Haye is underestimating Monte's resiliency. Even if Haye puts Monte down, I guarantee you he gets up. Then what is David going to do??? I think Monte will find a way to win this fight and I think it will be by KO. He really seems to be reinvigorated.

Sounds to me like you're describing the Haye-Fragomeni fight. You should watch that and then that answers your question.

like many people have said before it depends alot on the context of the KD. haye had to strip down the muscle to make the limit and imo that did affect him alot. he didn't let his hands go very often, also it did lead to the Kd in the mormeck fight. alot like cotto who was always a little bit rubbery at jr WW, however once cotto moved yup he seemed alot stronger and his legs seemed more stable, his chin seemed stronger as well.

i expect the same thing to happen with haye.

if he does get KD'ed but still comes back to KO, or TKO then i think it might slow him down a little bt then again haye might need that.

Fragomeni isn't a heavyweight who has fought the likes of Wlad and other legit heavies.

Also, the fact that Haye struggled with a 37-year-old Fragomeni speaks volumes about just how overrated David Haye is as a fighter.

Granted, allot are, but if you look at Chagaev, Maskaev, Brewster, Skelton, McCline , Briggs, Holyfield and Travis Walker, thse guys have pretty good physiques.

I don't think they are in any poorer condition that they were in the Ali-Frazier era.

If he gets KD'd then gets back up to knock Barrett the **** out then I doubt it will surprise anyone. The same thing happened in the Mormeck fight.

Yes but at that time Haye was fighting one of the best in the division and it was considered closer. This seems fight is almost being hyped as Haye's jump off celebration en route to running the Heavy weight division. I think He may be surprised when Barret doesn't just fall over. Should be entertaining either way though.

Yeah but what if Haye gets knocked down and has to fight very very hard just to eek out a close/tight decision.. On second thought this may actually speed up his chances. Manny Stewart may view this as a good chance to destroy a lesser opponent with some name recognition and actually chase down the fight.

Well it depends, if he gets knocked down, but still comes back to dominate Monte, I think he could still get a straight shot at one of the bros. However if he has a tough time, and doesn't look pretty beating Monte, he should beat at least a top 10 fighter before fighting one of the bros.
