Haye vs Klitschko

[DaveShoelace]

Not sure how I missed it really over the weekend

5/4 David Haye
33/1 Draw
4/7 Wladimir Klitschko

Fight is in Germany, so Haye has to knock him out. I was kind of hoping I would feel differently, but I think Haye has no chance now the fight is made.

wasn't the same said about Valuev, with it being in Germany?

[Josedinho]

I believe Haye believes he can win so thats good enough for me to be excited.
Heard yesterday bookies think Haye could start favourite.
I've only seen Wlad fight a couple of times but he seems to carry the weight well. Harrison was heavy but it was never all muscle but Wlad is big and pure muscle not that slow either. Think he'll win but like I say I'm glad Haye thinks he can win and has a plan.
Think I would have fancied him more against the bigger brother.

Haye absolutely battered Valuev though - that was the only way he was going to get a points win there.  If it's a close fight, we all know which way the scoring will lean.

Yep, but thats one exception compared to countless examples of corruption in german boxing. Also Klitschko is a supremely bigger name that Valuev.

Also its gonna help that Klitschko is not going to be a useless great lump in the middle of the ring.

4/7 looks really good value for me, might wait till the week before the fight makes everyone in the uk lose their minds with the hype. Like Hatton vs Mayweather, the media machine really had people thinking Hatton would win.

[kinboshi]

Haye will win.

hope haye loses he's a dickhead of the tallest order, complete wrong un, not disimilar in character to bisping from ufc

[boldie]

Haye will get destroyed

FYP..but hope everybody in the UK feels the way you do as that would mean Wlad drifts out

Seriously, I think Haye will win.  He won't go out there with the sole intention of trying to knock Klitschko out though - he'll actually fight a lot smarter than that I reckon.

[MANTIS01]

Haye will get bashed up and it's not even close

Comes across as a good bloke and is reasonably articulate too, can't say that about a lot of boxers.

[DaveShoelace]

Like Haye, think he is deffo the best person Klitscho has faced since Lewis, but just dont see how he can win if Klitschko is anywhere near his usual form, too big, too powerful, too skillful and will have a corrupt ref & judges helping him along. Hope Im wrong, still looking forward to it very much.

Other Klitschko isn't it?
Wlad beat Chagaev who I thought was meant to be quite highly rated, ex world champ, undefeated and had also beaten Valuev and he beat him comfortably.
