I'm surprised there isn't a thread about Haye yet. If he wins he will be the first ever British cruiserweight to win the world heavyweight title. I reckon Haye will win this quite comfortably, quick flurry of punches and than retreat, if he keeps that up all night he'll win.

Haye will make quite a bit from this fight due to the freak factor of his opponent and quite a few casual will purchase the fight.

For anyone who hasn't seen Hayes opponent

well id fight him totally different to that. Id work on the inside not give him a chance to swing if you work on the outside there is a chance he is gonna hit ya and I wouldnt fancy getting hit by a giant like that. I tuck myself in work on his body a hope to get a couple of over the top hooks in.

I have not seen either of these guys fight I have no idea how good the Russian is

.... that could be the start of a cunning plan.

Offer him a drinkski. "No Nikolay the aftertaste of British Vodka always resembles strong sedatives... have mine it tastes the same..."

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

the russian is not the best skilled fighter but has power and size. Haye's main attributes are his considerable power but mainly his speed is what will count on the night and if he has enough stamina to keep it going.

Valuev's power has decreased somewhat in recent Years..

And to be quite honest.. Ive never seen anyone Hit like haye..

Ive got a feeling ... Haye KO either the First Round or the 6th

Itll be his 3rd.. He made a cameo Apperance at Heavywieght + His Barret fight last year

Valuev weighed in 7 stone heavier than Haye at the weigh in this afternoon, it's the heaviest Haye has ever been and Valuev was lighter than expected

Any ideas what he was like in the other two, Did he struggle in any he should've won or were the fights made as in all he had to do was turn up to fight.

I really can`t see Haye getting this one

Reason being i think Valuev will get to fight one of the Klitshchkos` if he wins and that, him being Russian them Ukrainian is a big fight. Plus the fact he`s got a head the size of a Fiat500

Also 1 loss in 50 fights with 34 KO`s is a good record in anyone`s book. Haye may need to be bailed out at some point!!

Hayes record isn't exactly bad - 23 fights 22 wins 21 KO's

21/22 being KO's is an amazing record.
