IF this thread was a spliff then we could ALL get high!!

Hayes' cheque is in the post to you Carl. But i guess you are entitled to an educated opinion as Haye is only the second person to beat you apart from Kessler.

[The Hammer]

Haye's only chance is to go for the early KO.

There's only ONE way to beat Wlad now, and that's the way Sanders did it. Wlad will never again gas like he did against Purrity and Brewster, he'll pace himself wisely.

If it goes past a couple of rounds without Wlad going down, I think Haye has little chance. Once Wlad gets used to Haye's movements and gets into his full rhythm and perfect sense of distance, he'll control the fight.

The only way Wlad wins is to borrow some of his brothers PED's and bring a machete to the ring.

wladimir clumsly, and lumbersome? wtf? wladimir is coordinated and athletic. he is a very good athlete in general. this isn't valuev, who would be considered a legal cripple in the united states, eligible for a yearly pension. . . seriously valuev has a condition that would qualify him to NEVER work a day in his life, and get paid about 30-40k a year from the US government.

Well that's obvious. Wlad is at his best when he settles into a groove after a few rounds and Haye isn't good enough to keep Wlad from settling into that groove.

Agreed, Hate has teh Power to get the job done, but unfortunately for him Wlad has fantastic defence and Power don't mean anything if you're hiting gloves or thin air

Wlad's chin isn't too good. If Ryan Rhodes or any other ATG fighter above 153lbs caught him early he'd be the new heavyweight champ.

Haye doesnt fight with the standard American rhythm that Wlad is programmed to face.

Itll be very interesting to see how Wlad deals with someone who fights with no rhyme or reason. Will Haye stand 20 feet away like he did with Valuev? or will he go for the KD in the opening seconds like he did with Ruiz? Will he play possum for 2 rounds and unload in the 3rd? Is Haye the shy individual who wont stand in the same room? Or is he the obnoxious bastard who stood toe to toe with Wlad on that staircase?

So many unknowns, no doubt driving Wlad insane.
