    Will you give Haye credit if he beats Fury?

    Tyson Fury has been touted as a possible Klitschko opponent for about a year now, and was even offered the fight previously.

    Will you give Haye credit if he KO's Fury? Or will you say Fury was a hypejob?

    I don't think much of Fury boxing wise but he's a big, tough, guy.

    I'm a fan of Haye's so I guess the question is not primarily directed towards me. I'm just hoping it'll be a good fight, ending with Fury sucking the canvas dust like Haye put it.

      About as much credit as he deserves for cherry picking an inexperienced fighter who is tailor made for him

        Some credit for beating a top 10 HW, but he's supposed to beat Fury according to almost everyone so it's limited.

          Yeah

          You know I think this fight has come too early for Fury but still it will be a decent win for Haye

          Fury is always going to get shat on, he's white, british and has a mouth on him, three things that will always bring a fair amount of hate, he also fouls up sometimes.

          He's getting underrated for the cunningham performance, without uncle pete there he just lost the plot, still won mind you but since then people are acting like he's a bum.

          A composed, calm and collected Fury such as the one from the Johnson fight is a very good heavyweight, and I expect him to come in the shape of his life and give the fight of his life.

          I expect Haye to win though, and it'll be possibly his best win at heavyweight

            I will say Fury is a hypejob. Fury is often being hammered with overhand rights that just happens to be haye's best punch. This will be a KO and we can already reveal what kind of punch that does the damage.

              Would Fury be Haye's best win?

                Nope. Although it's slim pickings.

                  Who is really hyping Fury though

                  to be a hype job, you must first be hyped.

                  He certainly has a weakness to the overhand right, something that needs to be worked on, but it's not as big a flaw that CANT be fixed, it's really as simple as adjusting his guard and staying focused

                  Haye has very obvious flaws to his game too, low output being one, he's also gunshy against volume, relying on countering.

                  The Plan for Fury should be to keep a tight guard and pump the jab, Haye certainly isn't unbeatable if Fury uses his reach and stays focused for 12 rounds, Haye could suddenly find himself in the second half of the fight, where his inactivity and poor stamina catch up with him, and suddenly he's chasing the fight and desperate.

                  at that point Haye STILL won't throw everything at Fury, it's just not his nature, and if Fury can grab and lean he can use his size to just big-man Haye

                  I expect him to get tagged and go down at some stage but i won't be that shocked if he wins tbh

                    No. That would be Valuev by a mile.
