What a sad time it is in the heavyweights when wlad v haye is such a big fight!

I watched the Lewis fight the other day and for me Vitali will finish with by far the better reputation compared to Wlad.

I think he would compete with any heavyweight in history. Wlad has holes, Vitali not so much.

But Wlad is more marketable, he's the cheeky younger brother.

I think this fight is a huge fight, biggest in a very long time.

This I agree. Vitali with that iron chin, toughness, size, can hang with any HW in history. Wlad's weak chin is the reason why not too many can say he will hang with the ATGs in history.

Anyone who says Wlad couldn't hang with the ATGs in history is either A) ignorant, B)biased against the Klitschkos, or C) all of the above. Look at the guys who put Wlad on his ass. Samuel Peter, 240-250lbs with HUGE knockout power. Lamon Brewster, Corey Saunders... not the greatest fighters, but HUGE KO punchers. And like mentioned before, more often than not he gets up (and has come back to win)

Ain't just me, a lot of forum members believe that Wlad can't hang with Holyfield, Ali, Lewis, Holmes, Tyson, etc.

Just like Lennox Lewis didn't get up to win vs all time greats Oliver 'Cry Me A River' McCall and Hasim 'Watch for the Right Hand' Rahman....just saying
