    Meaning the surviving against the most probable hardest puncher in the division (Wlad), to go the distance and possibly win.

      Thought never really crossed my mind. I absolutely don't think Haye has that kind of will/heart.

        I didn't think Khan had it either. But now I'm wondering who I might be underestimating.

          The problem is Wlad Klitschko just happens to have Maidana's punching power, good speed, a great jab, better technique, a 3-4 inch height and 20-30 pound weight advantage.

          If Haye had improved as much defensively and as much stamina as Khan, I'd be giving him a serious shot at getting a W over Wlad because of the style matchup. Not how the way things are now though.

            Even if he did have this new or secret determination can he win on points? no, the answer is no.

              He has the kind of speed Wlad has never seen, so the answer is yes.

                Anything is possible but he Haye needs to take chances to do it and so far it appears he's not brave enough. Just going by what I've seen.

                    He seemed pretty ballsy at cruiserweight, to me. I've been a little puzzled and irked by his heavyweight career. I don't care too much, one way or the other, but it's like we've got that WBA belt being held hostage for the post-Lennox years. Wladimir is the first guy I know of, offhand, thought to be the top heavyweight dog for this long, with the Ring title and everything, who has never held the WBA or WBC title. It's a mess, really.
