Will you give Haye credit if he beats Fury?

[LacedUp]

I don't think vits has beaten a tougher opponent than tyson fury at any point over the last what ... 5 years? ... I mean who? old briggs blown up adamek, fat solis, chisora (who fury beat and haye stopped) ... but no doubt if haye does a number on tyson the haters won't give him credit and claim he is not worthy of a shot or whatever.

True that. In fact, Vitali doesn't have any particular wins on his entire résumé that people would deem sure fire winners over Tyson Fury. Sanders maybe? That's it I guess.

And, if I remember correctly, you picked this blown-up CW to beat Wladimir.

Polls were like 60/40 on HBO so he wasn't the only one.

Arreola, Peter and Sanders beat Fury, IMO.

You're right, I remember. I think a lot of the money/support for Haye came from fighting HW nobodies and Sky hype.

Well, everyone who picks Fury to win or at least think it will be a competitive fight need to give Haye credit...but I'm pretty sure there will be LOTS of fans that went for the upset but will come back when the fight is over and trash Haye for beating a nobody.

It will be a win over a world rated Heavy so in a sense u have to give him some credit. Realistically though its a mismatch, Haye is at least a level above Fury and anything less than a KO by the 6th will be a dissappointment imo

He's a legitimate top 10 contender, but being a top 10 contender doesn't take much these days.

Definitely.

Because if Haye can't get Fury out of there before 5 or 6. I can see Fury winning.

I think it will be one of those fights were if Haye wrecks him early and hardly has to take a shot for me it will still be a good win because I think Fury is a genuine threat to Haye who tends to blow out of his arse after 5 rounds if forced to work at a high pace which I am convinced Fury will make him do.

Haye might be a sitting duck in the 2nd half of the fight if it gets that far.

That fat version (is there another version?) of Arreola would get Kevin Johnson'd by Fury. Same with Peter, though he would have a punchers chance. His defense was his face. Fury would beat him too. Sanders would beat Fury.

Well, Ruiz and Valuev weren't 'nobodies' but they were past their prime for sure.

I picked the fight to be a snooze fest and was the only person on this site to get it right. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=449962

I knew Wlad was too much of a coward to actually fight Dave and spent 12 rounds running grabbing jabbing and leaning.

This is the equivlent of a middleweight running from a featherweight. Pathetic.

Davey boy was the one running, bro.

You'll have to tell me how this relates....

"You say" fury is susceptible to straight right hands.

South paws are susceptible to straight right hands.

Does this mean south paws are taylor made for David Haye?
