Opponents aside, Haye is a more exciting fighter than Wlad. He's more athletic and seems more vulnerable, which makes him more interesting in the ring. That being said, I don't think he's been a very exciting fighter at heavyweight. The Ruiz fight was fun, but Barrett was a slaughter, Valuev was - again - one of the worst fights I have ever seen, and Harrision was an embarrassment. Haye was much more exciting as a Cruiser. Would I rather see him than Wlad fight a random top 10 Heavyweight? I would say yes, but that doesn't mean Haye is a super-exciting, division-saving fighter, because he is not.

All this stuff aside, I'm really looking forward to this fight. I literally can't remember another time I was legitimately excited about a HW fight, but that's not solely a result of Haye.
you are right, he isnt the super fighter heavyweight division saver

its certainly going in the right direction since he came along tho
How so? It's still has no depth of talent, it's still dominated by the Klitschko's, and even should Haye beat one or both of them he's been telling everyone he's going to retire?

He's brought a little bit of excitement back to the division by appearing to be a legitimate challenger to the Klitschko's, no one would deny that, but when all is said and done I don't think that he'll be anything more than a blip on the radar.
