A fighter with a good chin and ko punch would make easy work of Haye but the reason this fight with Wlad is so intriguing is the risk involved of Haye landing a big punch on Wlad's still questionable chin.
Is Haye a difficult fighter to beat?

Wlad will have more problems with Haye than his previous opponents true. BUT, at the same time the best way to nulify Haye's threat is to keep pumping out a stiff jab and that's exactly what Wlad will do.
Whilst i'd like to see Haye win i do think he is seriously limited as a fighter, his power has carried him through some of his fights.
For me, Haye's main problems are:
1) Limited punch output - he has no jab and doesn't throw much, activity alone can win Wlad rounds in this fight.
2) Chin? - still questions there plus no doubt Wlad has the power to drop Haye or wobble him.
3) Stamina - Big big issue probably his worst attribute imo, he gets carried away sometimes and goes head hunting throwing absolute bombs, he looks puffed out mid-late rounds and it will be even worse with someone like Wlad jabbing and grabbing him all night.Comment

I agree with these 3 problems, but don't forget 4) his low hanging arms (= no defence) which he tries to substitute with erratic upper body movement.For me, Haye's main problems are:
