Looks like Haye-Klitschko is set

[TheDemolitionDan]

Finally, this will be an exciting fight (or at least it should) for the heavyweight division again. Hopefully, Haye pulls off the upset, but I don't see it happening. A couple of jabs by Wlad might rock Haye and knock him out.

I think Haye might surprise people with his chin. I truly believe his trouble at Cruiser was draining himself to make weight and I believe a comfortable weight for him to be at is around 220 lbs. When he was stopped by Thompson (as a child) he weighed 190lbs so 30lbs below his comfort zone must have drained a lot of energy from Haye.

I'm not trying to say the has a chin or recovery powers of a Holyfield or Ali but he may well shock a few of you with what he can take. Then again he has never faced anyone with anything like Wlads power and if he does get caught with too many clean shots he will go, but that said Wlad is in the same boat IMO, if he gets caught by some of Haye's big bombs it will be lights out for him too and judging by the fact that Haye is way quicker and far less robotic than Wlad I see him connecting with some.

I definitley think Haye has the tools to beat Wlad and vice versa, and that is what makes this an interesting fight for me. As for Hayes trash talking, we all know it's to sell the fight and they will be big mates after the fight!

I hope you're right, I really will be rooting for Haye because there needs to be a change in the Heavyweight Division and Haye is exciting and I agree with you, he does have the tools. He is powerful, quick and he might slip a couple of jabs by Wlad and get inside and start hammering Wlad. Who knows, but at least it will be the best Heavyweight fight in a long long time.

For the first time since I can remember.... I'll actually be looking forward to watching a heavyweight fight.

Even if it is not all it cracks up to be, at least it will strike some much needed interest into the division!

I actually wouldn't mind seeing HBO do a 24/7 series for this fight. It might spark a little interest from a the casual fan to the HW division.

This will be huge in the UK and will be back page news all week before the fight, but even i dont think its worthy of a 24/7 series stateside.

24/7 should be reserved for special moments in the sport when 2 genuinely great fighters come together and clash. Wlad and Haye havent blown anyone away to date and i hardly think many of the heavyweight sceptics around now will be convinced into buying this!!
