Don't see how this could ever be a 50/50 fight. When people are talking about Haye's advantages they say: Speed, power, explosiveness. When speaking about Chisora's adv they say: Great chin. -> To have a great chin is not really a boxing attribute. He has virtually no power, is not fast, not explosive, no great variety of punches. He's a decent british level heavyweight, whereas Haye is in top 5 HW in the world easily.

Unfortunately Roach has got most of his predictions wrong lately, not a good omen for Chisora.

im not listening to anything he says lately

Roach didnt say chisora was winning, he said he has a good shot which he does. he is so much bigger and he comes to fight.
i don't agree with him on who has the bigger fights though. Chisora has fought more top notch heavys in my opinion.

HAhahaahahahaahahhahaha, you almost made me trip dog. Fought better heavys... Tyson fury, Sexton, Danny williams and a clearly overrated helenius? He fought Vitali when he was clearly inferior to Wlad. How do any of the others even compare to Barrett, Bonin, Ruiz, Valuev and Wlad?

Well i said my opinion and in my opinion vitali is better than wlad, tyson is better than valuev, helenius is better than barrett and ruiz together.

Not a good omen for Haye, you mean -- Roach gives him the edge.

I like how Helenius is now "clearly overrated" because he fought one fight with a bad injury (and still got the win, even if you don't agree with it).

Monte Barrett? The guy who's won like one fight in the last five years? The guy who just got flattened by Shane Cameron? Yeah, he's great.

Boxing fans are so fickle.
