Mike Tyson: "Haye shouldn’t last more than 2 rounds."

^Meant to say Wlad outboxes him to a lopsided decision in the above post. ****** iPod won't let me edit.

There are other tweets.

And he said "shouldn't" not won't.

I like Wlad and I got Wlad over Haye but when was the last time Wlad stopped some one in the 2nd round, come on Mike.

Wlad can't even score an early stoppage against these overmatched/out of shape guys he's been fighting, and Haye is a bit of a step up IMO, not that big of a step up, but a bit better nonetheless.

Those Klitschko opponents you call "overmatched" were mostly very durable fighters who had never been stopped before. They are a lot better than you think.

Thompson, Chambers, Chagaev, Brock and many others had never even been DOWN in a fight before.

Haye has been knocked down several times, even by smaller men like the super-middleweight Lolenga Mock.

The last time Wlad fought an opponent not even as chinny as Haye - Ray Austin - he scored a second round KO. Whenever Wlad has faced anyone who has been KOed before, it hasn't gone past round 7.

Every single opponent Haye ever KOed had been KOed before, except for Fragomeni, who Haye finished off when he was already down, and so should have lost by disqualification. Wlad has stopped at least 15 opponents who had never been stopped before.

This is a great post. The only thing is, both are known to fight safely. When Haye fights bigger fighters like Valuev and Harrison, he throws two punches per round. Wlad isn't very active either (although to his credit, he does more than Haye). That's why I think it'll go the distance. The only way I see a KO happening is if one opens up. If anything Haye would be the one to do so, because Wlad really doesn't need to. I can see Wlad catching him then and stopping him in the late rounds.

I thought Tyson rated Haye, but Haye is never stopped early. He always seems to get the upper hand whoever he fights, i cant seem to see what Haye has that makes him hard to nail down, but he must have something about him.

Ive never seen any training footage of him on the pads or hitting the heavy bag making me feel intimidated by him. I saw him on the pads once and he looked kind of slow. But of course he isnt.

Jab and hold until overweight HW gets tired, jab and hold some more until overweight HW is almost falling over from being so tired, then go for the KO. Hardly impressive, fat ****s basically KO themselves.

He shouldn't, but he will. If there's a quick stoppage Haye will be the one to get it.

[The Gambler1981]

Whenever Wlad decides to start dropping the right hand the fight is going to end, round two seems a bit early for Wlad to do that because there is danger in doing that but if he wants to take the chance he could end it then.

Yeah, pretty much, I think Hayes chin is appalling.
