That's pretty much the idea I have of the guy: very clumsy. He's a flat footed, slow pludder with huge size and heavy, although not powerful punches. Probably very strong too, obviously. But Haye, despite his size, probably punches harder; he's also much faster, can move around the ring for 12 rounds easily, and is great at taking angles on his opponents. My hunch is, Haye will be able to get in and out without being touched too much by the bigger guy. Fury will hunt and pursue, but only to be tagged over and over again.
Fury's team are putting him too fast against a fighter that is too good. Fury is only 23 or 24: he has a lot of time to still learn. But a humiliating defeat could break his carreer. I think they're compromising him too fast...
