    hi guys, a few of you will know im picking david haye for 2nites fight but in the run up i have found wlad klitchsko to be a likeable and funny guy. i want to hate him like many fellow brits but i cant, do any of you think if he showed more of this in build up 2 fights to help promote them it would have had an effect in his overall popularity in boxing and more so in the usa..? as i only watched his fights i thought he was a typical robotic ivan drago, boring effective, but its not the case in his personality

    I have respect for Vladimir and his brother but the way im seeing this is this.

    David Haye is a really nice guy who is acting like a **** at the moment, all fight preperation and marketing ****, but it doesnt leave the best of tastes in the mouths of Haye fans whether they wana admit it or not.

    The Klitchkos are the opposite, they are ****s who are acting like nice guys, its a persona but in reality they have a big reputation for treating people like ****, people who work with them, people who spar with them and anybody who tries to negotiate anything with them. All this respect **** they are doing now is only for the cameras and for their persona.

    Thats the way i see it. I promise that if Haye loses tonight he will be very gracious in defeat, offer his hand to Vladimir and his brother and they will be gracious in victory.

    But if Haye wins there will be very little grace from the Klitchkos. I can just sense it.

    Wladimir Klitschko is clearly the most intelligent,charismatic,well-spoken and personable athlete of his entire generation.Men want to be him,women want to be with him,and millions of children aspire to be just like him.A credit to this sport and,most importantly,to his race - the human race.



    As far as I know,Wladimir doesn't require twenty or so press-up's in order to gain his autograph or picture.

    No, but he will want a spin on your bike.

    He's not intelligent...he's got some bull**** mickey mouse degree

    He's not funny...maybe in his Kazakh/Ukrainian culture his jokes are funny but in English they're ****.

    He's not likeable...inside the ring or outside it. He's done all the things he claims Haye's done..pulling out of fights with fake injuries, trash talking, ducking fighters and between him and his brother he's ruined the heavyweight division.

    Haye needs to knock out Wlad, not for his fans but for the good of the sport.

    I agree with you on everything but I have no problems with Haye's actions before the fight. He's the underdog and needs to get under the Klit's skins. Plus it's only words, sticks and stones and all that. The Klit's actions have damaged the career of many boxers, take how he treated Chisora for instance.

    I've seen interviews where David Haye isn't talking about boxing and he comes across as a funny and intelligent nice guy. The personality he chooses to go with for his boxing career absolutely ****ing sux. Joking about damaging the opponent so badly they need hospital treatment afterwards is not the kinda **** a worthy heavyweight champ should use.

    I'm a brit, and want brits to win titles. But David Haye is going about thing's the wrong way. IMO

    His degree isn't "mickey mouse" He's actually been an excellent heavyweight champion. One of which has been dominant which people HATE.

    I would call somebody who's fluent in four languages intelligent (ukrainian, german, russian, english) and knows Polish. And for his "mickey mouse" degree, you have no right to call it that unless you have evidence to back it up, and you have researched the background on how he got it. Have you read his dissertation? And even if you did, And are you expert enough in his field to know whether or not what he wrote is bull**** or not? Unless you have, you have no right to question his academic credentials, just as you wouldn't question the credentials of any person with a degree unless you have evidence to back it up.

    So most of you think its good cop bad cop then..i know the chisora fiasco left a bitter taste in my mouth, even if he was going to get hammered he deserved the chance he was promised, the more i think about it the more i think wlad is just going for the swing fans here

    I'm being deadly serious here when I say that I think Tyson Fury is both funnier and more likeable than Wladimir Klitschko.

    And I don't even like Fury (that much).
