    Haye is all about Empty Hype, which is exactly what the Heavy scene doesn't need.

      If you're right, Wlad will knock him out easily like all the other fighters he's knocked out, and the heavyweight scene wouldn't really be any worse off than it was before (but Haye would look like a complete idiot and Wlad would be vindicated). If you're wrong, it could be a great fight, whoever wins, and the first really exciting heavyweight title fight for many years. Either way, it's creating a lot more interest in the division.

        if haye can catch wlad with a big left hook early that's his only chance! The left hook could be his only chance but if wlads right hand is high defending Hayes done the first time he gets hit with a big 1 2.

          Yes, with Lennox having such a glass chin, Wlad wouldn't have taken long to KO him.

              We've been here before. You don't get the 'undisputed' tag and a Ring title on 'empty hype'. Sure, we don't know yet if that will carry over to HW, but there is sufficient evidence that it might to suggest this fight really needs to happen so we can find out.

                You need to state clearly now if you were serious with that comment. Really would not surprise me.

                  Lennox took some big shots from some truly heavy handed Heavies. You seem to think Lennox's chin should be defined by two KO losses?

                  I think you're being distracted and should look again at Tua landing his left hook, or Vitali landing his clean right hand, or Mercer's right hand many times, or anything/everything Holyfield could land, Briggs straight right hand down the pipe ..... end of story.
