    Do you give Haye a reasonable shot at beating Wlad?

    Considering the styles involved, and the speed and power of Haye, how do you rate his chances?
    171
    100% I think he will win
    5.85%
    10
    75% he has a very good chance
    15.20%
    26
    50% he has a reasonable shot
    28.65%
    49
    25% he has a very slim chance
    39.77%
    68
    0% he has no chance
    10.53%

    You gave too little choices, he has more than 0% chance but much less than 25%, so I picked 0%. Realisticly, I would give him maybe a 5% chance. Diva is not as good as the biased Brit media makes him out to be.

    Look at how sloppy he is and how easily he got hit by the likes of a shot Barrett and Ruiz, you don't think Wlad will lay a glove on him? Wlad has been down against real HWs while Diva has been down against middleweights (Mock was fighting at 158).

    Also Diva's power is not that great at HW, it's good, but Wlad has fought guys with a higher KO% at HW that were real HWs. Everyone talks about the Valuev wobble but if you pull up the *****ko vs Valuev fight you will see *****ko do that to a healthy and young Valuev, not the same Valuev who hasn't had a KO/TKO in 2+ years and 5 fights that fought Diva.

      There should be options for 5% or 10%.

      His chances are somewhere in that range. Wlad could get hurt or cut, that's really Haye's only chance.

        For the first 4 rounds I do, from there it’s all Wlad.

        By the way, this is coming from someone who’s not a Klit fan.

          I give him a punchers chance. Around 30%. The problems come in when you consider that Ruiz was able to land jabs on Haye (Wlad has the best jab in boxing), and Haye has a very low work rate (Wlad doesnt have to expend much energy). I think he makes it interesting for a couple rounds, and then just eats jabs until Wlad puts him out. But he always has that speed and power facor that could lead to that one huge punch getting in. But with Wlads power and Hayes chin and poor defense, I expect a face first highlight reel ko.

            I put '50% reasonable chance' but i don't believe Haye has a 50% chance of winning because that would mean i believe he has as much chance as Wlad does, which i don't. But i do believe Haye has a resaonable chance of winning.

              To beat Wlad he will need Lamon Brewester's power and resistance.... He has neither

                its like this....when David Haye connects his fist with Vlad's chin....Vlad will be unconcious...it's not a matter of if but a matter of when.....

                i.e. lamon brewster, corrie sanders....

                  you think he hits less hard than brewster?

                  brewster isnt even a puncher

                    Yea 25% sounds about right

                    Its not a 50/50 fight and its not a 0% fight either for Haye so 25% is good
