    You're a clown. If you'd rather watch Wlad jab the **** out of a walking punch bag that stands no chance, rather than watch 2 decent fighters with contrasting styles who genuinely dislike each other... then you are a certified moron :yep

    If David performes well in this fight he will make another fortune against a K-brother.

    The state of the division is horrible but it is what it is. Neither Chisora nor Haye are responsible for the abysmal HW division.

    Especially Chisora brought great entertainment to the heavies. His fights against Fury, Helenius and Vitali were easily among the best of the past 5 years. That dude is never boring. Neither inside nor outside the ring. Haye on the other hand is one of the best trash talkers to ever walk the earth. His style may no look as exciting as Chisora's because of his low workrate but he's slick as **** and can bang real hard. You have to watch out because every second of every round he can KD any opponent.

    Vitali let's his hands go, Wlad fights cautious and makes sure that the openings are there, he rarely forces the opportunity, he lets it come to him.
    95% bums.. Ehm? :huh.. Haye, Champers, Chagaev, Peter, Byrd? Bums?

    I disagree with some of the things you said.. I don't think that Thompson is a sandbag, he certainly has defensive flaws which where evident, but he is a tall rangy southpaw with some 101 boxing skills.
    As mentioned earlier Wlad makes sure that the opportunity is there, but he did fire off some combos early in the fight
    That is completely up to the individual, i like how Wlad outsmarts and outboxes his opponents, chess match.. What impressives me the most about Wlad is his athletism (Punch power, speed, accuracy and overall movement) and his offensive arsenal, which he in some cases under uses, but i don't think that Wlad should change anything that has worked so well for so many years. I understand that some find him Incredibly boring, which is fine by me, Wlad is IMO the best boxer-puncher in boxing right now and that is by far my favourite style.

    Vitali is a born fighter though, otherwise i agree

    Dayvid is a beast. I predict a KO win in the most anticipated Heavyweight fight in ages.

    You deliberately filtered out all the bums he faced in the past.


    Listen, I get your point. I'm perfectly aware of the pathetic state of the division and the Klitschkos are clearly head and shoulders above anyone but why in the name of god don't they get rid of their opponents earlier? There's no legit reason why the Klits don't simply bomb bums like Sosnowski, ancient Thompson, Mormeck and the likes out. I'd ****ing dickride the Klits all day on ESB if they crushed their clearly overmatched opponents in round 1 or 2.
    The current HW division offers very little threat, so why not steamroll these bums while you're at it? Tyson became famous through that and is considered the most popular boxer ever along with Ali. Unlike Football (european), entertainment value factors BIG into your popularity and that's exactly where the Klits are lacking. Spain and Barcelona bore the **** out of me, yet they have a HUGE ****ing fanbase. Boxing doesn't work that way.

    Haye would run from Vitali just like he did Valuev and Wlad. He is scared to engage.

    Agreed... This is my only problem with Wlad. He is by far the best boxer at HW at the moment but that 40 year old Thompson he fought on Saturday wouldn't have seen the second round against Lewis and yet Lewis was slated for years as a boring fighter.

    Whilst the Wlad v Haye fight wasn't a war i really appreciated Wlads technical abilities that night. His footwork impressed me a lot but the constant holding every time a fighter gets within 3 feet of him is a tad annoying. Do wish he would find an inside game from somewhere... we might then get to see his famous left hook more often if he didn't spoil everything that got remotely close

    :patsch

    Haye vs. Valuev was a horrible showing by Haye, and possibly the worst fight I've seen.

    Haye vs. Ruiz - Mandatory. You can't blame Haye for taking on the old, faded, boring Ruiz. However, you also can't claim it was a meaningful win.

    Audley Harrison.... Yeah. Total bull**** fight. A much bigger farce than any Klitschko opponent.

    Haye vs. Wlad - One sided ass whipping, embarrassment for Haye with all the flopping on the ground, etc.. I almost felt bad for the guy.

    Haye vs. Chisora - Chisora is famous for losing. Haye is famous for talking **** he can't back up and not engaging in the ring. Why anyone thinks this is going to be an epic battle is crazy.
