Wlad couldn't hit him and I doubt Vitali will either. Haye knows he can't punch with either brother, so he'll just stay away. The guy's got great defensive skills.

He's going to get a big paycheck. He's smart.

He'll be Adamek's opposite. Everybody says Adamek's got a lot of heart. I personally didn't enjoy watching Adamek get beat up. Looked like a rag doll in there. I worried that his brain was getting mushed up. I was pissed off at his corner for not stopping it. I would have admired Adamek for having the guts to say "fuck this. I've got a wife and kids. Do they want to see me brain-damaged?" Haye will come out without a scratch.

Two opposites, Haye and Adamek, but both good fighters. It's just that nobody can punch with either Klitschko.

Everybody, (including me) will pay to see Vitali cream Haye. And everybody, (including me) will be disappointed with a UD for Vitali.
I will add, however, that since Haye is a legit heavyweight, and a hard puncher, and since he did whack Wlad a good one in the 12th round, that it isn't beyond imagining that he could cold-cock Vitali. Or vice versa for that matter. I guess that's why we'll pay to see the fight.
This being Vitali who has never been dropped before and took one of the hardest uppercuts I have ever seen from Lennox Lewis without batting an eyelid?
