    Is Haye an actual underdog? Comeon...

    Do any real boxing fans think David Haye is a real underdog? People keep calling Haye an underdog and say the cards are stacked against but comeon, its Valuev. I'm not a fan of either, in fact I actually dislike both Haye and Valuev, but I fully expect Haye to win in a boring clinch filled fight by a wide margin.

    I'm not always right but I picked Ruslan Chageav over Valuev with a good amount of certainty, I was the only one who did this too. I feel the same about this one.

    I feel this fight has been hyped and Haye has a fantastic promoter in getting him out of Vitaly fight and making him a 'underdog' in this fight. By making him the underdog it makes Valuev appear as a impressive victory.

    Thoughts?

      I dont think he's that much of an underdog, the odds are stacked against him because those who dont watch boxing will be thinking 'hell Haye has no chance, this guy is what 7ft+ he's got no chance!' Haye is by far the superior boxer and can outbox Valuev if all goes to plan.

        Valuev is the underdog, british media keeps bsing and trying to make Haye look like the underdog. Valuev is slow and aged poorly, and is not in his prime no more.

          Valuev has never been down. Haye has suspected stamina problems, he's moved up to heavyweight so if he does have stamina problems - they're going to be even worse.

          Especially having a giant like Valuev lean on him.

              The British Media is just trying to give haye more credit when he gets a decision over Valuev.

                I feel the same way, Valuev is big, but hes not a puncher. Valuev is the underdog in this fight.

                  If Valuev was black, you would be banned.

                    Valuev isn't a puncher but supposedly Haye has a suspect chin.
