Man, R. Kelly's rattling this **** off worse than Mayorga did against DLH! Whoever wins, this is great promotion. At last the HW division has some ****e to it. Good job Wlad, good job Haye.
Let boxing be saved!Comment

Because he spoke like a 4th grader? Haye looked like a guy with no confidence, and thus needs to use tough-guy words to feel better about himself. Wlad spoke with intelligence, class, and assurance. He will slowly, and painfully punish Haye.
We all know Haye's got nothing after 6-7 rounds anyway.Comment

Dumb statement.
In his last fight that went the distance (against Abdoul) he won all 12 rounds on all three cards.
In his last fight that went more than 7 rounds he knocked out Fragomeni in the ninth, and although cut, he never looked at all tired - in fact it was Fragomeni who tired in the late rounds.
In his last fight that went more than 6 rounds he knocked out Mormeck in the seventh, and looked as fresh in the seventh as he did in the first.
The last time he had any stamina issues was five years ago against Carl Thompson, in only Haye's eleventh professional fight, when he punched himself out; but he learned from that fight, trains far harder now, and doesn't use such naive tactics in the ring any more.
Wlad is the favourite to win for some very good reasons, but I'm constantly amazed by the complete ignorance of many of his fans. Haye is far better than most of Wlad's fans believe him to be. Luckily for Wlad, Steward isn't as ignorant as Wlad's fans are, and is unlikely to under-estimate Haye.Last edited by Dave Rado; 04-21-2009, 03:54 PM.Comment

But, anyway, i think that all of his qualities, that could keep him a KING in CW for a very long time, will make him just a good heavyweight... Probably an alphabet title holder sometime, but not a long-term HW champion...Comment

I laugh at how Haye compares himself to Corrie Sanders. Apart from the fact Sanders pre 2004 removes Haye's head, Sanders style is not similar to Haye. Sanders was a southpaw that stood in front of opponents and threw bomb after bomb. Haye crouches and throws hooks from an orthodox stance. That flawed style is far more suited to Klitschko. Keep yapping Haye, you're going to be. June 20th

If he takes a right hook flush he's in big trouble, but he has very good head and foot movement, and I think he should be able to slip most of the jabs provided he keeps focussed. His boxing skills are widely underestimated, IMO. He can't afford to lose his self-discipline as he does in most of his fights, though.Comment
