Better chance of pulling the upset: Haye or Rhodes?

[Clegg]

I was just looking at the betting odds. Haye is 8/5 to beat Wlad in some places, whereas Rhodes is 6/1 to beat Alvarez.

To me it seems like it should be the other way around, or at least that Rhodes has a better chance of winning his fight.

Wlad is in his prime and usually beats his opponents without losing a round. Haye has IMO not looked too hot in heavyweight performances.

Although Rhodes is flawed, he's up against a boxer who is still green and learning his craft. At this stage, Alvarez is hittable and has been hurt against lesser punches. Rhodes has the advantage of size (he spent most of his career at 160, Alvarez has never even faced at 154lber) and experience.

Your thoughts?

Rhodes- Even fight IMO. Isn't Rhodes 34? That's kinda late to be green.

Haye is screwed.

He's fighting a monster.

Rhodes
don't get the Alvarez hype, dude's not that good
might bet some points on Rhodes
people only excited about Haye since he finally grew balls
but he has no chance in the fight

IMO Haye has the better chance. He's quicker, more athletic, etcetc. Wlad never really fought anyone like David Haye.

Rhodes is past his prime, but he's a southpaw and I can't recall the last time Alvarez faced a southpaw. It's gonna be interesting.

Rhodes, Saul is overated, his defence is pretty bad, he has been hurt by Cotto and I've not seen the punching power he used to have. For me Rhodes has more chance of pulling the upset because of that, he's fighting a not so good boxer, at least not at the moment. On the other hand Haye is fighting against Wlad, who maybe not be the best boxer but he's really strong and has showed that he's capable of destroying his opponents without too much trouble.

[Heeb]

Definitely Rhodes. He's fighting a relatively unproven young fighter while Haye is fighting the very skilled HW champion of the world.

rhodes.....sorry to say , but canelo aint that good.....

[chiguy91]

damn, both are pretty even, but i'd give the edge to haye. he's quicker, stronger, basically in his prime, he can upset wlad imo.
rhodes' last 4 wins, all stoppages, have been to lesser opponents, and not on saul's level. that said, it will be a tough fight for both fighters.

Haye but I can't really say cuz I haven't seen Rhodes fight...

Although I do think Alvarez is overrated...

Rhodes and Wlad will both win by KO against their over-protected cherry-picking opponents.
