Damaged arm eh?
Also, Valuev has a much heavier head. Simple mechanics would dictate that that makes it much harder to knock out

So if you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to cut you down (well sharp)

So you agree.
*We* are the small axe. No *I* am the small axe.
Again - I want Haye to win, and I dont doubt his ability or his punching power, but this - for all the talk and the hype - is no more than a King Canute holding back the sea scenario.
Haye says he can do it, he believes he can do it, but when faced with the actual practicalities, as much as I want him too, he wont physically be able to.
((((((Lovely David Haye))))))

Somewhere shortly before or after 10pm I should imagine,When does the actual top bill kickoff tomorrow? I don't care about the undercard, I need to see if Haye v Valuev fits in with a pals club schedule

And while you watch the video... remember that Haye just weighed in 1 stone heavier than in any fight he's ever fought. Not an ounce of flab on him, which cannot be said for the Russian.

I am sure Haye has the skill, strength and intelligence to beat the Russian.
Size has nothing to do with resisting being knocked out. Dolphins regularly attack Great White Sharks by hitting them hard in the gills.
Haye is just gonna be like a dolphin. The Russian is fucked.

Very likely.
Valuev is a big flabby 7'2" guy, who can box a little bit.
Haye is probably the most dangerous opponent he's had.

Why do they bother with all the different weight divisions then?
I think theres a certain leeway with the heavyweights

He's been 220 / 230 twice before, and always had probelms boiling down for the cruiser limit, this will help his strength and stamina.
But... he aint gonna be in there dancin, he's gonna be in there bangin.
Can't wait.
Having a Fight Night Rd 4 Heavyweight tournament with a cpl of pals first. My fighter is called Coffin Nails Last
and have been watching boxing since 7am this morning non stop so am well up for this.

There is a difference of course. A Flyweight aint gonna be able to take a punch from a Heavyweight, nor is a Flweight really going to be able to hurt a Heavyweight. So weight classes are there for fairness, to level the playing field and to prevent injury (so to speak) cos the bigger you are the stronger you mostly are.Why do they bother with all the different weight divisions then?
There originally was 8 weight classes, now there's 17 now, which makes it easier for people to become 5 and 6 weight world champions, it was harder with the original 8.
And funnily, the actual lowest weight class name belongs to the ladies, they have a Pinweight class.

I can see 8 different possible endings and I've thought them all through very meticulously, very very meticulously, and each are as valid as the next. I've actually watched their last 20 fights (between them)
Can't really call it tbh, but I want Haye to win as he's fresh and beautiful and a proper old skool Heavyweight champ in the making, nice height, great weight, flash, skillful, exciting. He should be champ.
So, putting my neck out, I'll go for a Haye stoppage
But can see him getting stopped out in the first round too.
This has had me considering all the options too,more than any fight in a long time,as you say there are so many scenarios.
Haye can do it,he could go too,Valuev could clinch and lean on him and exhaust him,Valuev could be so body-bashed he could rabbit puch and get D Q'd.
Freddy Roach is tipping Haye and has no vested interest,i think he knows a thing or two

What, Hayes is going to end up a Russian trawler deck in amongst a pile of tuna fish?

If it was JUST abot size then,yeah,Valuev walks it,but it's not.
Haye has the speed the smarts and the fitness to win.
Valuev is big,sure but he is at best an average boxer,OK average don't win World titles,but it did here.
If it were JUST about size Willard would've beat Dempsey and Carnera would've retired unbeaten instead of a 5'10" Italian.

Grrrrr
