Thanks: Gave 409, Got 304 | David vs Goliath This saturday
Heavyweight title on the line, a 6 footer against a 7 foot giant weighing over 23 stones and as got more hair then a bear.
Who will win? What you think lads? Hayes doing the impossible here?

Whilst I think a fight of this magnitude deserves a thread of it's own its being discussed over the last few pages in the boxing thread
I want Haye to win (unsurprisingly!) but the twisted  side of me says if the BIG man is going to win I hope he really destroys him rather than a points decision

i think a thread specificly for this kind of match is fine seeing as many other exciting boxing matches had its own thread such has the hatton vs pacman thread.
Lets fuel all discussions about this fight in here

Well, just seeing Valuev crowbaring himself out of a car on the way to the weigh-in made me cringe. I think Haye is going to get destroyed.  |

The guy is a freak.

Look at this photo...
Honestly...
Ludicrous... | |

Who's the best boxer? Haye by a country mile IMO.
Who will win? Valuev IMO.
IMO there is no way that Haye can win with such a height, weight and reach disadvantage. He won't be able to generate enough power punching upwards to the head to get a knock out and it'll only tire him.
Only possible chance, fight on the inside and work the body which of course leads him open to massive bombing uppercuts.
Valuev knock out in the second half of the fight for me.
I'm in a bizarre situation where I may of may not be going to San Francisco tomorrow. If I go then I won't be watching it, if I don't then I'm deffo watching it on SBO.

Can you believe this monster is the underdog lol ?
The odds have shortened lately but a couple of weeks Goliath was 3/1 
The only thing Haye has is speed, if he gets caught by one of those 50lb ham hands he is going down for sure.
Really hope Haye can pull it off though.

I still cant work this one out!
Haye is tiny for a heavyweight,im a very similar build to tyson so i im a big guy but not in heavyweight terms.....
Haye is 6'3? same weight as me with 16" arms, i was genuinely shocked by his size, considering tyson was regarded very small for a heavyweight. my forearms are as big as his biceps 
the other guy is 23 stone and only has 18" arms, he should have at least 22" arms even if he did not train that hard! i cant see any muscle on him at all from the pictures i have seen in the paper!
So basically haye is going to be far superior in skill, fitness, and speed. But the other guy will only have to keep him away and use his weight advantage to tire haye out imo.
I still wouldnt want to call it though, haye will only need to get a couple of good body shots in and i reckon this guy will crumble, given his lack of fitness. im hoping this is what happens | |

ive been off looking at video's, Valuev reminds me of audley harrison, big but no get up and go! Haye has a good punch on him but im not sure he would do well under pressure!
Could be a good fight if both of them are up for it  | |

I,ve got 20 pound on valuev to win inside distance 5/1 odds,I would love to see haye win,but I really can't see it,think the other guy is just going to be to big for haye and can see him stopping haye in the latter rounds
