    I sure hope so and expect they will.

    What do you think?

    Don't think we'll have much time to tell. Charr finishes this early.

    Props to Haye for taking on such a dangerous fight.

    Well, we know that Charr will enter the ring ready to rumble.

    - And I honestly believe that Haye is a different person than he was 2 years ago. Much more humble & serious. I think the Chisora fight was a turning point for him.

    This should be a GOOD fight.

    There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity. Unfortunately, on this occasion I fear Haye has crossed that line.

    Charr is still the closest thing to a modern Rocky.

    Not higher quality, but probably much more competative.

    As his personal traits go, I've always thought that David's elite-level athleticism was only exceeded by his dare-devil willingness to accept over-the-top risks.

    Does that alone not make it a higher-quality fight? :think

    No doubt!

    - but I think Haye takes this one easily, if he really wants it. He's simply too fast & elusive for Charr.

    It's how you measure "quality" imo.
    The sum of the two fighters combined is lower as Wlad vs Pianeta, but the quality of the competativeness is higher. I'll go with the quality of fighters because if you put 2 total bums in the same ring, it will probably be competative too. Look at Flintoff vs Dawson for instance :yep

    Reasonable people often disagree and this is one of those instances.

    Why?

    Charr wouldn't do much better as Pianeta against Wlad, and would have some trouble when fighting him.
    Haye is clearly a level below Wlad, so that concludes my calculation.

    Well first, I disagree strongly. Haye + Charr divided by 2 is quite a bit higher then Wlad + Pianetta /2.



    Second, WTF are you on about? A great fight happens when the 2 fighters are either evenly matched, or have opposing styles.

    Haye - Charr won't be the classic "matador vs the bull," it will be the "ballerina vs the bull," but it's still an incredibly exciting matchup. - Plus, the ballerina can REALLY sting you if you **** her off.

    I haven't said it won't be exciting or competative. I see it just like you what the matchup is concerned.
    But I strongly believe the combined two fighters in the ring was higher in the Wlad vs Pianeta fight.
    I have no problem with if you disagree with that.
