    I am not saying for certain he doesn't have that kind of power, but I have to base my opinions on facts, and 2 fights against fighters roughly his own size does not convince me that he is going to have the power to ko a much bigger man like Wlad. While Wlad may not have the best chin, I think he is very good at using his height and reach to protect it and it can't be that bad if he has been dominant in the HW division for as long as he has.

        Three clubfighters in a row, I'm impressed. I considered Barrett shot 2 years ago when clubfighter Cliff Couser sparked him in two. The same Couser that has lost his eight fights since then, six of them by KO/TKO.

        But I guess he almost qualifies as the two top 10 HWs that Haye was supposed to fight first.

          The more I think about this fight, the more ridiculous it seems. Haye only recently coming up to HW and while being a good CW has huge *****s in his armour primarily his poor defence and chin. Wladamir on the other hand has been established for some time as being the top dog in the devision who has an abundance of experience combined with huge power, an accurate jab, and a great defence. Plus Haye is loosing 4 inches of height and about 25 pounds and a fair bit of reach. It seems to me that people are relying on Wlads only real weakness in having a pretty average chin to be the deciding factor in the fight and overlooking everything else.

            I'm still waiting for someone to name a fighter that won a HW title after being previously stopped at a lower weight.

              Haye=6 foot 3
              Wlad= 6 foot 6
              6 foot 6 - 6 foot 3 = 3 inches

              I swear some peoples maths is messed up, If Wlad is 6 foot 7 then vitali is 6 foot 8 and a half and no way is Vit 4 and a half inches taller than lewis.

                Idk if Wlad was wearing his boots or not, but he looked taller then 3 inches when they stood next to each other, but to be fair it was a picture and pictures don't always come out accurate when its about height.

                    It almost seems that people dismiss how many one punch ko's Wlad has.
                    He often takes his time doing it but I can count at least 4 big right hands against dudes that weren't known for going down.

                    Thompson and Brock are two, not even really thinking about it.

                    It's like saying Mormeck has more power than Wlad or Enzo has more power than Brewster or Peter.

                      It was a perspective illusion, as demonstrated in this pic where they are actually all the same size
