If only because of the spirited exchanges on this forum, Klitschko-Haye is the first heavyweight fight in a LO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-N-N-N-G-G-G time that I can't wait to watch. IMO, it should be entertaining while it lasts. Haye certainly can hurt Wlad if he connects, and has the speed and power to do so. But Wlad is a proven heavyweight, with a great jab and power in both hands. I just hope it's an exciting fight and not a snoozefest like most of the recent HW fights have been.
The only way wlad is gonna own him is if he holds him to death and is allowed to get away with it. Otherwise I have Haye winning by KO. I don't see Haye beating Vitali though. he's too big and too good.Quote:

...yeah what am I thinking 52 wins and 46 KO's at heavyweight, Wladimir's power is OBVIOUSLY untested vs a CRUISERWEIGHT of David Haye's level, and the only way Wladimir has racked up those 52 wins is because he was allowed to hold. :rolleyes:Quote:

There's a reason you have to continually make excuses for him right?Quote:

He would not be champ right now if he wasn't allowed to hold. I would bet that.
You can talk all you want about Haye getting KOed by Thompson but then why is wladdy so afraid of him then? Why would team klit-erus demand for him to agree to fight 3 fight against them? Because they know Haye can pull it off. Too bad the klits are not as confident as you lyle.
wladdy wanted big bro to fight Haye because he's afraid. Accept that.
Bx, Wlad isn't afraid of David Haye, Wladimir is a PRIZE fighter, WLADIMIR has the belts, David Haye has had 2 fights vs lackluster competition and without an overwhelming amount of crowd support....now what about that situation says "David Haye deserves a good deal when he fights Wladimir"....Wlad is taking the risk (to please the fans I might add) and therefore WLAD gets the better deal.
What kind of response do you want Wlad to give Mr. Haye???
"Oh I'm sorry, you're a cruiserweight champion and have had 2 heavyweight fights vs lame ass competition....oh please take 50%... NO 75% of the purse....I might as well just fight this one for free as I am just so honored at the chance to be in the ring with you....wow David Haye....it is just amazing to be in the same room as you"
Is there a reason you denegrate Wlad and belittle his accomplishments? I know Wlad isn't a perfect fighter (as there is no such thing). What he is, is a superior technical boxer, he is athletic, he comes into each fight in great shape, he follows a strategy and though he may be a little cautious at times he KO's pretty much anyone who sets foot in the ring with him.
Is it that Wlad is boring though ? Or the competition is just so damn weak. Alot of people say Wlad is boring. If you look at it he stands right in front of you and jabs the shit out of you.He really doesn't prance around the ring or look to play the catch and throw game. His fight is in your face jabbing his ass off. Recent fighter's have been intent on staying away and try to flail away at Wlad with weak counterpunching. How can someone fight someone who is constantly in defesive mode when they themselves are a counterpuncher. I personally find Wlad to be all as bit the scientific boxer as "The Great" Ali. Don't get your panties in a twist I didn't say he was as good as Ali. Yet. He set's his oppenent's up with jabs and then when think another jab is coming bam a right hand slams home. Can you guy's honestly tell me that every one of Lennox's,Ali's,Holmes fight's were crowd pleasing. Hell no. Most of them were very forgetful. Except of course the instant classic's do to GOOD COMPETITION. The reason it is so boring is Wlad is just that damn good and doesn't get the credit. So what can we say to belittle him. Oh he has no balls and is very boring. It's just such a cop out.
Anyway my prediction will be Wlad in eight.
