Im getting this fight, been excited about it for a while now.
Its hard to call Valuev has only been beaten once and never knocked down. However, Holyfield TOTALLY outboxed him a few years back and still lost as it was in Germany and went to points. It was called one of the biggest mistakes in boxing history and had to go to a police investigation.
Haye is actually one of the hardest hitting boxers the sport has seen so if... I really mean IF he can reach this guys jaw he should be able to give him a good crack and knock him out.
Obviously i want Haye to win as it means a Brit has the belt, but, Valuev i kinda have a soft spotfor. He HATES all of this "beast" talk, he is actually a well spoken, clever guy. He only does all the gimick to get more money for his family which i thinks cool. Haye has been saying some really nasty stuff which could come back to haunt him.
Valuev is 7 STONE heavier than Haye - shave the guy and he might loose 3 of that :O)
Overall, Haye will prove too fast and too fit for the guy as Valuev doesnt loook in good shape and is well known for taking hits and tiring out the opponent (think Homer Simpson - classic)
I just wana see the big guy knocked out in Germany because Haye will have no chance if it goes to points.
