    What do you think ESB? What does Haye's name do for Vitali's resume?

    Unfortunately probably not that much. Decent fighter on his resume, but people will just look back and say that Haye was an overrated HW, and a pretty good CW. Even if he'd stop Haye it'd be fun to watch, but nothing that somebody else at CW hasn't done already.
     
  3. He's not even on the list and beating Haye doesn't get him on, as klitschko fans say Haye is a bum, he cannot then be called a great victory in the same breath

    A win over Haye won't make much of a difference. It will only offer some small amount of closure for him and his fans but historically speaking,beating Haye won't mean much.
    For all intents and purposes he probably should beat Haye but I dont even think he can at this point.

    I think it would be a very significant win, and it would boost his resume. Vitali's record is not that great and would be benefited.

    I currently think Vit is around top 25 (his retirement hurt him, and so does his bro's reign in the same era)

    I don't think it would move any more spots up, unless Haye somehow were to go on and do great things afterwards.
     
  7. Also, a loss to Haye and vitali is basically not even hof worthy

    He'd still get in. Haye is not a make or break fight for Vitali.

    Using the words ATG and Vitali in the same sentence is like using Amir Khan and granite chin in the same sentence they don't go together. You cannot fight in the weakest era in the history of the Heavyweight division and be considered an ATG imo. ATG's like Ali had ATG opposition like Liston, Frazier, Foreman and Patterson who do the Klitschko's have? Haye? Povetkin? Adamek? That **** is pathetic.
