He is. He's even beginning to look like Stevie Wonder's clone.
Though if he gets back in shape and spars with Haye I could see him having a few pointers to teach the younger man.

Well, that's possible. He never was very aggressive, though.

Exactly what Haye needs if he needs a sparring partner to emulate Wlad

Lewis would be the perfect fighter for Haye to study....same style, same trainer, tall, strong...etc
As for aggression, Steward teaches tall fighters to fight big...meaning jab, grab, and never crouch down. No fighter out there has made Wlad fight, since Samuel Peter...even then, Wlad went back to his jab and out pointed Peter.
Lewis would have been viewed as one of the greatest if he fought like he did in the second Rahman fight, for his whole career.
Any way...I hope this is a good fight....I am more excited about what is to come....I cant wait for the HBO 24/7 documentary to start the Hatton/Pacquiao countdown!

I'm looking forward to Froch - Taylor. It's my tip for one to watch this month.
Williams - Winky may be good, but I'm not expecting it to be.

Yeah, i agree Taylor/Froch could be a sleeper type fight that captures the public eye.
I have a feeling that Winky is going to turn that fight into a snore fest...

Williams UD. I was expecting that.
I lol'd when I heard Winky said that Williams could beat Pavlik and Abraham.

Wow...Froch comes through in the end!
One week until Pacman vs. Hitman......

In all fairness, Taylor would've won if he had the stamina for it. Practically a repeat of the first Pavlik fight.
Calzaghe would destroy Froch if he came out of retirement to face him. Because of this, I'd like to see Carl fight Bute and/or Kessler, and maybe, if they come up to 168 as rumoured, Pavlik and Abraham.

I would love to see Froch vs Abraham...
That fight again Miranda was an instant classic...
Taylor seems to be going through the same thing as De La Hoya did, before Floyd Sr. Trained him.
Taylor fades down the stretch against pressure fighters.
Have you watched the HBO countdown of Pacman vs Hitman Spike?

I haven't, no. I will catch up eventually, but most of the info I'm getting in the build up comes from boxingscene.com
At the moment I'm loving the Haye - Wlad trash talk in their pressers.

I have to keep up with that...
I have never seen Wlad as a fighter who would talk trash...A good opponent could change that I guess!

Wlad doesn't do much talking. He just sits there and takes the abuse.
Much like he will in the fight itself
