If Wladimir KOs Haye, will the Haye fans give him any credit?

[Sir Tom Jones]

I will have a lot of respect for Wlad if he fights with a bit passion against Haye, I will have even more respect if he can handle a big shot from Haye.

[T-97]

Haye has fans? I think Haye has temporary fans. People just want to see Wlad loose. So the answer is no. I think you have to give Wald some credit. Haye is very athletic and in shape.

Yes, Haye has fans. One be right here, one that also happens to be a Klitschko fan. I think Wlad will win by KO, and he deserves credit as Haye is a worthy challenger, slightly unproven at Heavyweight, but former unified-Cruiserweight champ who has looked good at Heavyweight so far.

[Horus]

Nobody is going to give wlad credit because he is white...and white boxers have it hard in boxing..
right ironfist...

[Clint650]

I'll give him credit. Especially if he dominates.

[NakiFan]

I will go one better, I will do it now, If Wlad wins then well done wlad you got a good win.

TBH though Wlad is expected to win this fight very easily, so i'm not going to go nuts and start calling for ATG status.

Nobody is going to give wlad credit because he is white...

Yes, lots of folks hate whitey. Black supremacists hate 'em, some Asians hate 'em, some Native Americans hate 'em. Even many of the rich, powerful white people hate the ordinary white people...

Whenever a white fighter wins, there are hate threads in NSB that night and the next day.

The better a white fighter does , the more he's hated. The top ones like Calzaghe and the Klitschkos receive the most discrediting.

That's just the way it is.

[Ben_London.]

According to you, Haye hasn't done anything in the HW division, and doesn't even deserve a fight with Wlad. Isn't he another glass-chined, overhyped fighter that gets rocked by Light Heavyweights? Why should we give him credit?

Because you are predicting Haye will win.

[The Hammer]

I think the haters like kswizzy99, Randall Hopkirk, deliveryman, Easy-E, Parody and daggum will give Wlad no credit whatsover if he KOs Haye early.
