Would Haye-Valuev II be different?

[Akxtinguish]

Don't know if the rumours have any truth in them, hopefully not, but assuming Haye-Valuev II happened, do you see it going differently?

I think Haye's going to grow more confident as a heavyweight after going 12 with the biggest heavy out there. He also rocked Valuev badly in his most active round, so he's definitely going to look to be more active.

Valuev will also have to be more active after seeing the decision go against him after 12 rounds of plodding about.

Like I said, I don't want it to happen again, but if it does Haye gets a wide UD or actually pulls off the TKO due to unanswered punches.

Nope it wouldn't.

Reason is Valuev is one paced. You say he saw what happened and would change but he suffered a similar fate against Chagaev and Holyfield and never had an answer to a similar gameplan presented by Haye.

Haye might do a bit more though, maybe/maybe not.

If Haye didn't break his hand in an early round I think he might go for it a bit more. He knows now that he's way too fast for Valuev, that he can fight at the big guy's pace for 12 rounds and that he has the power to really hurt him.

Unless Haye got careless and ate a big punch (or broke his hand again) he would stop Valuev next time.

[Neverchair]

Haye would have gained a lot of confidence from that last performance and without a hand injury would probably commit himself a bit more and go for the knockout/stoppage.

And I think he'd get it!

I think Haye would stop him second time round.

I think it would be exactly the same with Haye winning a more clear UD but still not stopping Valuev.
