Gurov was only half an inch shorter than Wlad, if we're looking at size not weight, and was a known puncher at cruiser. Gurov was a big guy who knows how to use his height and reach - look how he befuddled Mormeck for the first 6 rds before folding.

And Enzo is only 3inches shorter than Wlad. Speed and timing will still give Wlad fits. A battle of the jabs and counter rights. Haye's counter right against Wlads jab. The power is the bonus but power needs to land

I am looking forward to seeing Haye at heavyweight, plenty of fighters with suspect jaws went onto be great champions.
Joe Louis was ko'ed by Schmeling only to go on and become in many peoples opinion the greatest heavyweight alive.
There was a time when people were saying Holyfield had a suspect chin, I cant remember the fight but it was while he was starting out at heavyweight and got caught, he was all over the place.
I just hope haye for the sake of our little island does the business.

It was the fight against Bert Cooper, regarded at the time as a 'Tyson-lite'. It was that performance that left many convinced that Tyson would walk through Holyfield.
I still think Vlad bombs out Haye, but I'd love to be proved wrong
