If David Haye loses to Vitali in July...

[BIG H]

My opinion remains as it always has. Haye gets stopped inside 6 rounds against Wlad and inside 3 against Vitali. He does, however have a very realistic chnace of beating Wlad (if Sanders can and Brewster can and Purity can, Haye can!!) I don't think Wlad's durabilty has improved since those fights, I just think he has become more cautious. He has been doWn 11 times, and therefore Haye definitely has a chance.

Versus Vitali I give Haye a 0% chance

The guys that knocked Wlad down either A) Withstood serious punishment to the point where Wlad was tired or B) Had legitimate heavyweight punching power....does the WBA title holder have that? Maybe he does maybe he doesn't....he's got fast hands, but he couldn't stop Valuev, it took him a while to finish off Monte Barrett and John Ruiz. As for caution....who fought Audley Harrison last and how did he look doing it?

Corrie Sanders was a southpaw with a deadly left cross...one that also need I remind you hurt Vitali as much as Lennox Lewis ever did. Not everyone is on the same level in regards to how hard they punch.

Don't mistake me as a Haye fan I think both Klits beat him, but he has a legitimate chance against Wlad, who's limitations have be shown over and over again. Down 11 times That can only be down to one thing and 11 excuses cannot be found or legitimized.

For the record - I think Haye is way way overrated and very limited. Yeh, he has skills, but he's no great heavyweight and never will be.
