who do you want to win wlad or haye?

[mrbig1]

I want Haye to win. I'm not saying he will. I'm just tired of the K boys fighting the bum of the month club.

[Mars_ax]

That's easy, Wlad, because instead of having a somewhat boring, but legit HW champion, he'd be replaced with a childish, moronic, condescending, clown. But thankfully July 3rd, Wlad will still be the HW champion and Haye can "retire", and devote himself to his dream of being a gay porn star.

[Pavlik]

Wlad, more humble.

[boxingbantz]

I'll be cheering on Wlad on the night. No doubt. As Skel said, I wish I wanted Haye to win, but I don't. I like how Wlad conducts himself, I actually like watching him box and would take great delight in seeing Haye on the floor, looking dazed and confused, after all of his bullshit over the past couple of years.

[generalbulldog]

Another thing I have to add. I don't think the fight will live up to it's hype and billing. Just see Haye trying to outbox Wlad from the outside, while Wlad will paw with his left or use it to jab and then try to unleash the right. I don't know who will win but the style of the 2 will not make an entertaining match I reckon. In other words this won't be Holyfield-Bowe or Ali-Frazier, you can bet on that.

[FinitoElDinamita]

I want Haye to win because he's just more enjoyable to watch and has a personality. I also want to say that a Haye victory would be alot more healthy and create alot more excitement for the HW division but because he's retiring at the end of this year, ( assuming that's true ) I actually think it'll be worse for the division. It'll only create more confusion when the titles are vacated.. He's probably going to have to go to hell and back to beat Wlad anyways so i dont really see him fighting Vitali by the end of the year as planned... It's just too much of a task in such a short amount of time . Unless he decides to fight till next year and fight Vitali for all the marbles. If Vitali beats him, great, but if haye wins and retires after, the division gets messy again ...

[El Kabong]

glad to see I've swayed so many to support the WBA title holder. I'm also glad they are already worrying about Wlad losing....I am not, I'm certain he wins this fight with relative ease and I'm anxious to read what my detractors have to say when that happens (as if they didn't bitch and moan about Wlad enough already).

Good luck everyone

[brocktonblockbust]

hate 'em both intensely, but will lean towards Klit beating the boorish cretin.

[JazMerkin]

I've got an endless array of reasons for supporting Haye. We're from similar backgrounds both in terms of being from South & being mixed-race. We're from the same amateur club, even if he'd turned pro long before I came along. I know some close friends of his & chat to his brother whenever he shows up in the gym. I mean I may think he's a knob, but he's a Fitzroy Lodge knob. I know one of Wlad's sparring partners well, and he seems like a nice guy & all, but Haye wins on that fact a win for him is good publicity for my club.

All of that said, I can't get away from the single reason that really makes me back Haye... Lyle. I don't think there has ever been a poster who has so forcefully put his reputation on one fight. I mean I know there's Lefty & rjjtszyu for Haye, but they're nowhere near as invested. Lyle has put everything into this one fight & I think there is almost as much on the line for him as there is for Wlad. Therefore a Haye win would be absolutely hilarious for what it would do to one of our hall of fame posters.

[Hornfinger]

I'll be supporting Haye.


I'm getting my hair done into Haye esque corn rows for the night of the fight

has lyle gone a bit quiet as the fight draws close?

[glennwilson5]

Not a Wlad fan, but I am pulling for him. Although the best thing for the division would be for Haye to win because you know that Vitali would seek revenge, thus unifying the title.

[TigerFan]

Wlad for me. I've been a fan of his for years. Before I even knew who Haye was. Plus he doesn't duck anyone(don't even mention Chisora) and fights more than once a year.

It's not so much that i'm such a big fan Wlad as it is the contempt/loathing I have for Haye. Haye is about 2 levels down from Wlad in size, skills, experience and HW punching power, but he promotes himself like he's the 2nd coming of Lennox Lewis. The pretentious, condescending, clown Haye is also several levels down from Wlad, in class, character and intelligence.

[BoxingGorilla]

I voted Wlad. However, this is one of those rare cases where I'm rooting for "the best man."

I can see it going either way and don't care for either man. I am anxious to see it though.
