Valuev doesnt have KO power, doesnt throw the uppercut and doesnt lean on his opponents to wear them down.
Outboxed by Holyfield and hurt by John Ruiz ffs.
Easy route to a title for Haye.
Neither man has concussive one hit power IMO.
If Haye had serious power then his opponents would not be up and down like a dogs proverbial every time he lands cleanly.
He hit Carl Thompson with everything except the ringpost and he did not phase the old boy.
Thompson has a very good chin but has seen the canvas on occassion and Haye could not put him there.
My view on this fight....Haye to look good and fast, landing very well and staying out the way well.
Haye to be well up on points when he starts to gas, gets sloppy and gets tagged. His chin is not great IMO. Off the floor to win against Mock very early in his career, a stopage by the old boy Thompson and down against Mormeck. "Slip" against Barrett.
I hope Haye can do it but he will have to work hard, stay sharp and work fast, while
having this big lump leaning on him. All this leads to fatigue and i hope Haye has trained for a 12 rounder.
