He got outboxed by Valuev until Valuev got tired (and Valuev has literally no boxing skills!!) and he's going to beat a Klitschko?? I can't see it. His only chance is one big punch to land and Wlad's chin to give way. And Haye's chin is not exactly made of stone either.
He's taken the easier of the options fighting Wlad. Vitali would have destroyed him with incredible ease.
Klitschko by KO in the 7th or 8th
I must admit, i've been a big fan of Haye from early on in his career, I went to France to see him beat Jean Marc Mormeck to unify the cruiserweight division, and I went to watch him against Enzo Mac, Barrett, Ruiz and Harrison (the latter I regret), but I haven't been impressed with the way he has conducted himself in this fight. Infact, I was less annoyed with the way he conducted himself the first time they were meant to fight, when he wore the top with him holding the two brothers heads. I think Klitschko has come across brilliantly in the build up to the fight, and Haye's refusal to as Klitschko calls it "Shake a the magic hand!" was a bit of a bad mistake. As for whether he has talked himself into the fight, 2 years ago I would agree, as he was a nobody in the HW division, but I think this time round, after all the build up and the will they won't they factor, Klitschko has to fight Haye for the same reasons Haye has to fight Klitschko, not to as much of an extent, because Klitschko has much more greater accomplishments in the HW division, but if this fight worn't to take place and we were to look back on it in 10 years, it would always leave the debate open as to who would win, a similar position Mayweather and Pacman find themselves in now. I'm in a position of where my head says Klitschko and my heart says Haye, and it all comes down to the gameplan that Haye employs, if he comes in and trys to win using a backfoot strategy like he did against Valuev, then Klitschko will win, if he comes in aggresively and tries to hurt Klitschko early on, then Haye has a good chance of winning this fight, either way, win or lose, both men will be loaded after this fight, and in today's world thats all it comes down to.

.. I see no way how he beats Martinez though, this fight has come far too soon for Barker, he has had one fight in a year and didn't look that impressive in that, he fights again in July, and then he gets one of top 3 p4p fighters in the world! I'll be rooting for Barker but I feel like this is going to be an easy night for Martinez, did you see the tension between Barker and Macklin in the studio on Saturday night for the Martin Murray fight?
