Didn't do bad either so who else has Vitali Klitschko really beaten ? because the fact is and this is quite a sad comment, is that this could be the best opponent Vitali Klitschko has ever fought, except for Lennox Lewis.

A part time police officer and a man who takes golf more serious than boxing, AKA Corrie Sanders don't really cut it. Neither does the whale Kirk Johnson, or the mis-match fight with Danny Williams. Or quitting on a injury against Chris Byrd when many fighters have got through worse, hell Danny Williams won with a dislocated shoulder.

Im not saying David Haye will win, but i think people are far too much on the Vitali Klitschko band-wagon. Just because he gave a good effort against an overweight Lennox Lewis, outside of that who has he really beaten ? and he's so injury prone that theres no way i would 100 percent pick Vitali Klitschko.
Good points. I agree this is the toughest opponent he has faced barring Lennox.

I keep seeing people predicting a second round KO for Vitali. Now I think Haye has got one hell of a fight on his hands here but 2nd round? No way I see it going to around the 7-8th round. There is no way in hell either man is going to stand in front of the other and let his opponent unload. Both WILL rspect the others power and I see Haye taking the first few rounds on his speed. It just depends how much damage he can do in the early going because eventually he will get caught and then we will find out whether or not he can take a HW's punch. We know Vitali can.
I'am not sure Vitali will respect Haye's power i think he might recon he is just a blown up cruiserweight that wont hurt me!
