Haye vs Maskaev ??

Haye will knock out the Russian in the first round, Oleg is very gun shy with a suspect beard, With that said. That just presents Haye with more punch connects.

I would like to see him fight Peter's.

Wlad ain't that good won't be long before he is KO'd again

By whom? And how? As much as I like him more than Wlad I still think Peter is the last best hope against Klitschko and I don't think his recent improvement is better than Wlad's. And I think because the HW division is so sparsely talented right now that we're all too ready to throw the best guy in the division in the garbage heap. I'm not saying he'd beat all-time greats, but Klitschko could definitely give every HW in the past at least a run for his money. His 1-2 is second only to Lennox's in my opinion and you have to actually get to his chin to hit it. Klitschko's defense as of late has been like a Brinks truck- he doesn't let anyone in.

I've only heard about Tony Thompson, I can't say he will or won't win. But I don't see someone who doesn't have KO power beating Wlad. You have to have something that takes him out of his game and being the same height as him ain't it. Brewster had a chin from hell and pressure, Corey Sanders had a SCUD missile for a left hand and Peter had KO power in both fists. Thompson better be hella fast or something to make Wlad uncomfortable otherwise it's either lights out or he'll become content to take 2nd place.
