who do you want to win wlad or haye?

I want Haye to win because he's just more enjoyable to watch and has a personality. I also want to say that a Haye victory would be alot more healthy and create alot more excitement for the HW division but because he's retiring at the end of this year, ( assuming that's true ) I actually think it'll be worse for the division. It'll only create more confusion when the titles are vacated.. He's probably going to have to go to hell and back to beat Wlad anyways so i dont really see him fighting Vitali by the end of the year as planned... It's just too much of a task in such a short amount of time . Unless he decides to fight till next year and fight Vitali for all the marbles. If Vitali beats him, great, but if haye wins and retires after, the division gets messy again ...

hate 'em both intensely, but will lean towards Klit beating the boorish cretin.

I've got an endless array of reasons for supporting Haye. We're from similar backgrounds both in terms of being from South & being mixed-race. We're from the same amateur club, even if he'd turned pro long before I came along. I know some close friends of his & chat to his brother whenever he shows up in the gym. I mean I may think he's a knob, but he's a Fitzroy Lodge knob. I know one of Wlad's sparring partners well, and he seems like a nice guy & all, but Haye wins on that fact a win for him is good publicity for my club.

All of that said, I can't get away from the single reason that really makes me back Haye... Lyle. I don't think there has ever been a poster who has so forcefully put his reputation on one fight. I mean I know there's Lefty & rjjtszyu for Haye, but they're nowhere near as invested. Lyle has put everything into this one fight & I think there is almost as much on the line for him as there is for Wlad. Therefore a Haye win would be absolutely hilarious for what it would do to one of our hall of fame posters.

I'll be supporting Haye.


I'm getting my hair done into Haye esque corn rows for the night of the fight ;D:cool:

Not a Wlad fan, but I am pulling for him. Although the best thing for the division would be for Haye to win because you know that Vitali would seek revenge, thus unifying the title.

Wlad for me. I've been a fan of his for years. Before I even knew who Haye was. Plus he doesn't duck anyone(don't even mention Chisora;)) and fights more than once a year.

It's not so much that i'm such a big fan Wlad as it is the contempt/loathing I have for Haye. Haye is about 2 levels down from Wlad in size, skills, experience and HW punching power, but he promotes himself like he's the 2nd coming of Lennox Lewis. The pretentious, condescending, clown Haye is also several levels down from Wlad, in class, character and intelligence.

has lyle gone a bit quiet as the fight draws close?

I voted Wlad. However, this is one of those rare cases where I'm rooting for "the best man."

I can see it going either way and don't care for either man. I am anxious to see it though.

Haye, coming out swinging.

Whoever would win I’ll feel sorry for Haye his opponent.

Having followed Haye for years, I'm firmly in his corner.
Yeah, he's a bit of a nob at times, but he's a British nob!

Lets face it, a Haye win is the only chance of unifying the HW title, so has to be good for boxing. I'm told by people that know Haye, that all the trash talk etc. is just an act that he's has to perfect to get himself a title shot. In private he's a nice guy.

Lets face it, most boxing fans love a pantomime villain, and Haye fits that bill for many on here.

Not sure he'll beat Wlad, but I'm 100% positive it will give us more to talk about than the last dozen fights the brothers have had.

We have the same wish list. adamek vs haye is one of my top dream fights right now.

Even though i'm not a fan of Vlad's fighting style, i still think he'll win. The only way Haye has a chance is if he has a speed advantage. He'll probably circle all night and potshot in once in awhile for a flurry, but that's about it. Probably will bore the hell out of me. There's always the lucky punch. You never know if Vlad's chin is holding up. It has been for awhile, but it could get weak again.

Dont care ,but as usual in that situation, im going for the underdog and the upset.
