Its my opinion and I'm sticking to it, I don't rate Haye at all and I believe he will struggle agaist any half decent heavyweight

No worries we're all entitled to our opinions

The fact is there isnt anyone of note in the heavyweight division. I would fancy Hayes chances against Klitschko for example.

Seriously???



I reckon Enzo will want it more than Haye. Haye is a good fighter but I always get this feeling he'll never quite live up to his potential......

Enzo may not be top class but he's got real heart and he wants this, especially after the latest digs from Haye.....

Enzo in 7 for me.

Samuel Peter would destroy Haye as would Povetkin

Samuel Peter??

Poor mans James Toney. No head movement and quite slow. Haye, with his superior hand speed and power, would have him.

Despite all the bitching this thread's actually quite good. It's great when a fight is so even on paper that opinion is divided like this. Fights like ths are what boxing's all about.

I'm backing Haye to win due to the way he went about reaching the top. He fought better opposition progressively through his career and ened up fighting and beating the champion i his own backyard. Compare that to Enzo who's fought no one really of note and despite holding the WBO belt he never actually won it in the ring. He foghut the number one ranked WBO contender and was then handed the title when Johnny Nelson retired.

Since holding the belt he's fought terrible opposition, laughable opposition in fact, and that could come back to haunt him because he's never been up against it where as Haye has.

The key to the fight might not be the Enzo that steps throgh the ropes though. It could be Enzo Calzaghe. He knows how to plan a fight and will have Macarinelli in the shape of his life.

I'm picking Haye to win but it could go either way.

It did that.

I go for Haye in 6!

[Shaggy]

Haye in 8 for me, although I'd prefer it if he disposed of him inside the first round.

[Imy]

Fight is going to be on around 2:30am

Haye has been prepping for this by changing his sleeping schedule etc and was thus 2 hours late to the press conference, his excuse was that he was sleeping He also said he'll be going for the weigh-in at 4pm when the scheduled weigh-in is at 7pm, frank warren is well pissed

Haye via knockout, don't care when and how i just hope he wins.

Hayemaker

As a welshman I obviously hope Enzo wins. A question though - there seems genuine dislike for Enzo between you non-welsh...why is that? I think he comes across allright.
