    Where as Wlad is boring as **** to watch , runs away form guys half his size , has no stamina , and a worse chin than Haye.

    And Chagaev ???? Please

    Vitali would be tough but he aint got long left, plus Vitali looks brilliant agianst plodders ( Danny Williams , Sam Peter ) where his lack of pace isnt a problem, Haye would be different.

    Haye has a very likeable personality in interviews, is very engaging and likeably honest. He's been like that all the way through his career.

    You must be basing this on a few youtube clips. It seems like he feels it necessary to project a different personality for an american tv audience in order to attract their attention. Whether that's true or not I don't know, but it seems like American TV audiences aren't particularly interested in boxing anymore, so maybe he's right.

    :lol:That "likeable" personality was stalking Wlad like a child molester when Wlad was on British soil a couple of months ago.

    The meaning of "likeable" must be a different one to you then.

    Haye has got to fight smarter against quality opponents, if he tries to blast every heavy out of there, he wont even get to Wlad, he will lose earlier. He needs to establish his jab better and leave himself less open.

    He did but its hard to say how shaken he was as Barrett follwoed up with a crack on the jaw while he was on his arse.

    Vitali and Wlad would both KO him....that's all you need to know.Now that doesn't mean he can't win a belt.

    Lol, all these puritans who think boxing would be throughly entertaining if it just consisted of everyone being nice to each other.

    Get a sense of perspective.

    Once you realise that pulling one pr stunt is actually not morally equivalent to child molestation you'll have a clearer picture and probably be a better person all round.

    Thunder you have good instincts so let me ask you this, You see the way Wlad fights therse days ( Im thinking Ibragimov particularly ) he seems to hate people coming at him, do you think that someone quick and strong like Hyae wont have Wlad backpeddaling ? Wlad of course has the power to knock him out ( he has the power to knock almost anyone out ) but i really think Haye is all wrong for him.

    Don't get me wrong,Ilike Haye,he is entertaining as a fighter and all,but he is so wide and predictable he ain't gonna do much.I can't see him get passed that jab.And it won't take more than 2 or 3 rights to put him to sleep....I just can't see it.You forget Wlad is fast aswell,he has that shaky chin himself so anything but a looping shot getting luckily on the chin is the only way I can see Haye winning.

    Yeah I see your point , thinking back to Wlad on the way up ( the Mercer fight in particular ) he looked terrifying , that jab , double left hooks and ( like you say ) all surprisingly quick for a man that size. I just got the feeling wether it was from the two knockouts close together ( sanders and brewster were I think only a fight apart) or the way Steward had him fighting he looked a bit gunshy.

    Maybe I am getting carried away because Hayes a Brit or becasue he talks the talk but I honestly don't think Wlad wants anything to do with him.

    Vitali however is a totally different proposition ! :scaredas:

    I'm sorry,I just can't see it......but it might happen,altough the chances are small.They will probably meet next year anyway so we will find out who is right and who is not.
    Anyway I don't understand why Haye is going by the WBC way to the title....the champ is......Vitali:yikes.That is a long way back from that one.Vitali would really murder him,a lot worse than his brother would.David would show guts to actually want to fight him though but it ain't the smart thing to do.Like I said,we''ll see...but Vitali:yikes:nono
