    Interesting question... I'm not sure to be honest.

    If Wlad wins, I think it puts an exclamation point on what has been a dominant HW reign. However, it would mean that the two best fighters in the division were still not fighting each other and I think it would result in the perpetuation of a dull, uninteresting division until Wlad retired; then it would be a dull, uninteresting division completely devoid of talent.

    If Haye wins it will shake up a division that no one really cares about, and on the surface at least I think a Haye victory is best for boxing. However, if he just wins and retires, or if he wins and goes back to fighting the Audley Harrison's and John Ruiz's of the world, it won't really be any different than if Wlad had won...

    In typing this out, I've discovered that I'm of the opinion that - while this is a very compelling fight - I don't think much will change regardless of who wins.

    I'll probably cheer for Wlad because I dislike the way Haye carries himself and most of his most vocal supporters, but what I'm really hoping for is that we'll see a great fight that will result in a massive rematch and some legitimate, potentially long-term interest being brought back to the HW division (which IMO is highly unlikely).

    Wlad. It would prove a bit more that there was a dominant HW after Lewis and such defeat coupled with the defeat of Adamek vs Vitali (even though Adamek is one of my favorite boxer at the moment) could lead to a Adamek-Haye fight, which I asked Santa for the past 2 years.

    I want Haye to win just cannot see it happening however.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Hey erics, what do you think Haye will do to enliven the heavyweight division other than trash-talking?

    Retiring? Fighting once a year? Taking on "dangerous" fighters like Audley Harrison?

    Speaking of dangerous opponents, maybe he'll schedule a rematch with his shadow, since it thoroughly trounced him in their first meeting.

    for the simple fact that i find wlads fights boring and i am usually uninterested in even watching

    hayes fights are a lot better (let me hear you shout about valuev and harrison) 99% of the time

    even if he retires after 1 more fight that one fight will bring me more pleasure than 10 of wlads and after that fight it will be interesting to see people battle it out for the titles

    I would like to see Haye win just for the simple fact that things have gotten a bit boring in the predictability. I'm not saying they are not good, I'm just saying that fight after fight, there's never much of a chance of an outcome other than a Klitschko winning.

    Come on now.

    I'm itching to finally see something different happen, even if it's just for once, and I'm sure at least some people must understand this.

    Even though i'm not a fan of Vlad's fighting style, i still think he'll win. The only way Haye has a chance is if he has a speed advantage. He'll probably circle all night and potshot in once in awhile for a flurry, but that's about it. Probably will bore the hell out of me. There's always the lucky punch. You never know if Vlad's chin is holding up. It has been for awhile, but it could get weak again.
