I hope the fight happens because I know if it does Wlad is going to demolish him.
I'm not around much these days because of my job, but I thought I might as well renew this discussion with Lyle.

If Haye fights Wlad, I genuinelly believe Haye will knock him out. This isn't blind British passion like when people believed Hatton would beat Mayweather, I'm saying it because I really see it happening. If it happens, I'll sig bet with you.
With all the people wanting a sig bet with me for this fight you're going to have to get in line.

Hey man be as wrong as you like Wlad stomps the crap out of everyone in the division right now up to and including the WBA title holder.
Dude, Haye is too fast and too powerful for him. If it was Vitali, I'd have my reservations but I really can't see Wlad winning.
Too fast? Too powerful? And you can't see Wlad winning, that's odd because Wlad is too fast and too powerful for your guy.
Are you suggesting Wlad is faster than Haye?

I'd even up a sig bet on this. Not only do I think Haye will win, but I think he'll stop him before the 2nd half of the fight. I really don't think Wlad is a special fighter. What he does is simple. He jabs...and holds when anyone gets close. I'll admit that he's smart, and uses his advantages, but for me he's not in the same league as his big brother. Haye picks his shots, and will be too quick for Wlad working in and out in bursts.
i wouldn't really call Haye anything special either, he gets hit, he doesn't have much variety in his punches and his movement is a bit weak, any top HW from the last 30 yrs would have sparked him, Wlad and Vitali are no exception and i believe both will do it with ease and later get no credit
I'm not saying Haye is special. Every comment you made there ca be applied to Wlad. His movement is weak, he doesn't hav variety in his punches, and any top Heavyweight in the last 30 years would have sparked him.

For me, Haye has better speed, better movement and better variety in his punches and can adapt better to situations mid-fight.
see that's the thing, Wlad DOES have variety of punches he just never has to use them, his jab is outstanding, he has a killer right hand, an excellent left hook, and pretty damn good uppercuts, how many times have you seen Haye hook off of his jab or throw an uppercut right off of his jab?

it's gonna be brutal, and Haye is gonna retire due to "injury"
