when David Haye's head gets knocked off are you gonna admit that Wlad is better than Haye? and then not go downplay Wlad's win?
remember that Wlad didn't have to take this fight, there are plenty of other fighters that have a more significant role at heavy
Ruslan Chagaev (WBA)
Nikolay Valuev (WBA)
Chris Arreola
Alexander Povetkin
Eddie Chambers

Lets be honest.The names above dont mean very much to boxing fans and even less to Joe Public.
If Klitschko wins then I will accept that he is the better boxer and I made the wrong pick.
Its not like I make Haye a big favorate about 60/40 but I thinks its a fight he can win.
Howerver the other brother might be a fight to far for Haye but we will get a better idea after this fight.
Balls
I would love to see the WBA heavyweights join the rest of the division and step their game up: Valuev, Chagaev, Ruiz, Bidenko, Meehan, etc they seem to be a division apart from the "real" heavyweight division of the dangerous fighters and the talent.
Arreola would have been a good fight for Wlad to make but I think Cris is 1 spectacular KO away from being a big time fan favorite.
David Haye and Povetkin have truly pissed Wladimir off with all of their talk.....maybe it's enough to coax Wlad into letting his hands go a little freer which I am sure everyone would welcome.
Which I think is Haye's not to subtle plan (winding the brothers up); as I find it hard to see Haye being able to beat a safety first Wlad.
But I do think there is a chance that if Wlad does decide to go to war, Haye has a real chance of landing the first big right, and getting the job done inside two; but I will concede there is just as good chance that Wlad does the same thing to Haye.
Klit v Valuev you serious?? Id rather watch paint dry, and as you thinking Arreola v Klit is the bigger fight how the hell do you work that out?? Klit fighting Haye was made by sacraficing fighting Arreola, Arreola Klit is nowhere near as big a fight.
Oh and Klit is such this brave man who could off fought so many other meaningful fights, whats with all these pathetic terms and rematches then with Haye?
Im no Haye fan but this is easily the biggest fight out there at heavyweight.
So skel, you would NOT want to see Valuev get KO'd?!?!
As for the terms and rematch clauses, who's taking the risk here? David Haye is going to be making good money even if he did get shafted on the contract, but Wladimir is risking his titles and standing in the division to fight someone who has little experience at heavyweight and who has already been KO'd by an ancient cruiserweight....David Haye could be the best heavyweight out there but his record does leave doubts as to the extent of his skill and were Wladimir to lose to him it would stir up numerous doubts about his standing in the division.
This isn't the first time rematch clauses have been used, maybe the first that involved brothers but this is the first time two brothers have run the division. Are you telling me if Haye was to beat Wladimir that a fight with Vitali would not make sense and given Vitali's age and occasional health problems that an immediate fight between Haye and Vitali would be a bad thing
This fight may be big right now but had Haye fought oh, I don't know a REAL contender and scored an impressive KO, then I certainly would be more worried about Wlad's chances, but right now it's as I said: If Haye wins then Wlad is a bum and if Wlad loses then Wlad is a bum and Haye is the greatest ever......it's lose-lose for Wladimir no matter how the fight ends, until he gets paid of course
