By Scott Gilfoid: There has been a lot of talk about whether Wladimir Klitschko is tough enough to take the punishment needed in order to beat WBA heavyweight champion David Haye in their super heavyweight this Saturday. But I wonder if Haye is too much of a dandy to be able take the shots that he’s going to have to take the beat Wladimir.

If you look Haye outside of the ring, he’s very into having his body look really good, and putting a lot of care in his dress and his looks. Do you think that Haye is going to want to want to keep taking shots in order to land his own when he starts seeing his own blood? I don’t see Hayes as the type.

When his nose gets hit, and maybe broken by one of Wladimir’s power jabs or chopping rights, will Haye want to keep coming forward to try and land? I think not. My guess is Haye’e s main concern will be how his nose will look in the future, especially if Wladimir flattens it or turns it sideways.

The same goes for cuts around the eyes and busted lips. I just don’t see Haye as being rugged enough to take punishment and still keep coming. My read of Haye is he’s start stressing out, thinking ‘Oh no, my nose is busted. How will I look to people when they see me? I can’t have a nose that looks like a light bulb. I think I’ll quit now.’

I can see it going like this I really can. And his relationship with his trainer is a long one. It’s almost paternal relationship. The two have been working together for so long that I just can’t see Adam Booth standing around and letting Haye take a royal beating letting that white towel of surrender go flying in the ring to save Haye from getting his face distorted by the big, angry Wladimir. I think Booth’s hand will have brain of its own and will instinctively throw the white towel into the ring to protect Haye much like a mother lion going moving into to protect one of its cubs from danger.
