Most casual fans don't know the difference between the Klitschko brothers. So in reality, it won't matter. He'll fight whoever he feels he has the better chance of beating. Imo, he has little chance of beating either of them.
I can see the theory behind Haye winning. He's got good lateral movement, and he he's very explosive and fast for a Heavyweight. He'll give Wlad and Vitali something different to think about, and both could struggle with Haye's movement.
The reality is Haye is too easy to hit with the jab and it'll only be a matter of time before he gets caught with a right hand over the top. Then it's curtains.

I'll say it again - I'm all for this one to boost boxing in Britain
if haye had got his arse in gear - and fought 4 Audley months or so after Ruiz - with a view to going aftyer Wlad early next year I don't think people would moan so much (especially us Brits)
However its the fact that Haye may leave it another 10 months or so after this one that pisses people off - and I am totally with that one. He keeps saying he wants to retire soon but on no urgency to get in the ring.
Quick KO win against Audley and a Klit in April - how would that go down with you lot ??

Shame on David Haye. So much for reigniting the heavyweight division. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Yes, I agree. You can't go calling somebody out like he's been doing and then completely bottle it! It's embarassing!
You can see why he's done it though - if he gets sparked next fight by one of the Klitschko's it's a slow road back - but picking up some cash for fighting Audley in a tune-up for a Klitschko gives him longer in the limelight before he gets KO'd.
I still think he has a decent punchers chance against Wlad but the so does Audley against haye......

The thing is though Lyle you have to look at PPV sales in Britain as that will be the biggest money maker for a fight between Haye and either Klit. And in reality Vitali is a lot better known by the armchair boxing fan due to his fights with Lennox and Herbie Hide and Vitali is also known as the better brother too by the average fan. I used to agree with that but Vitali is on the slide now and I feel Wlad is the better of the 2.
All in all Vitali would be the bigger money maker for Haye and I think he is the easier option so I think that is who Haye will take first.

Little look at Audleys recent history...........
Audleys last 5 years:
2005 L12 Danny Williams
2006 L10 Dominic Guinn
2006 KO3 Andrew Greeley 10 wins 11 losses (wow!!)
2006 TKO3 Danny Williams (only half decent win)
2007 KNOCKED out in round 3 by Michael Sprott
2008 TKO5 Jason Barnet 10 wins 6 losses ( way to step up)
2008 W10 George Arias 41 wins 10 LOSSES
2008 LOST to 10 fight vet Martin Rogan
2009 wins 3 in a row in 1 night in scheduled "3 rounders"
against fighters with 6 pro fights, 8 pro fights and 10 pro fights
2010 getting beat comfortably by a fighter with 14 losses until he landed a lucky/good punch in the last round to win...
So do people really think this is acceptable he is also ranked 42nd in the division.
Re: Should be confirmed soon its David Haye v Audley Harrison 13th November M.E.N Are
Because I'm English, this fight isn't so bad but
But alos because I'm a boxing fan, this fight is a pile of shite.
Lastly because I have lost respect for David Haye, I hope Audley knocks him out ;D
I hope this makes sense ???

....so lazy he took time off of trash talking, but I suppose that hiatus is now over :vd:
Why not go after the British belt? At least there is a point to that fight even if Chicken Little has the WBA belt (which one can hardly consider a "World Title" anymore...it's just a DKP/Sauerland belt)

To be fair though Lyle none of the alphabet titles mean much anymore. The one that matters IMO is the RING belt.

Belts are what you make of them....if you fight the best the belts mean more and if you don't then people stop caring about it

It's funny you bring this up because yesterday someone asked me who has the title that the likes of Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano held and I had to explain that it is actually Haye although most people (in boxing) don't consider him the real champ.

like Lyle said, the belt is what you make of it, and well no one of late has really given the WBA heavyweight title (or in any division really) much worth, especially when the likes of Ruiz, Valuev, and Chagaev have been the only ones fighting for it for like the last 3 years
