    Vitali Klitschko destroyed Herbie Hide in 2 rounds.

    Wladimir Klitschko, smack talker.

    Vitali got rid of Hide without landing a clean punch.
    Wladimir WILL land clean and knock David senseless:smoke

    That is a great point. When you watch the fight, you're like "Where's the punch that KO'd Hide?" It's not there, but yet Hide collapsed like a ton of bricks from, if I remember correctly, a grazing shot on the top of the head.

    I'd give Haye way more respect than Hide, especially if I was Wladimir.

    Hide and Haye are actually pretty comparable in size. Hide is 6'2, Haye 6'3. Hide weighed roughly 215-220 for his fights at HW. The same as Haye also.

    I really like Haye, he has great skills, a truly exciting fighter. He may be a KO waiting to happen, but that shouldnt lead to him being called a fraud or a bust. As long as he delivers in his fights, thats all that matters.

    Both Klitschkos would Knock him out. Vitali faster than Wlad. Vitali would probably knock him down a few times, I think Wlad could do it with one right hand though, later in the fight however.

    I'm sure Wlad knows really that the heavyweight limit has changed since Holyfield moved up.

    Muhammad Ali, Jack Johnson, Sonny Liston are examples of fighters that started off weighing less than 200lbs.

    Haye is a classic and natural heavyweight.

    I think this comparison will eventually be proven to be RIGHT on the money. Haye at HW is gonna get bounced off the canvas like a basketball.

    Haye has a punchers chance.

    So did Iggy and he got schooled.

    Haye still has some speed and he can box. I do not see him winning this fight but he needs to be careful otherwise KO in 7.

    This will be a great fight...and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm putting my money on Haye against Wladimir. Haye likes to be aggresive....aggressive fighters have troubled Wladimir in the past. Speed and aggression win this fight but hell in my eyes it really could go either way. He is beatable but I think people underestimate Haye.

    That was the old Wladimir, the new monster has the right tools to break any fighter down, Haye included. In fact the more aggressive Haye is the faster he gets knocked out. Wlad's timing, accuracy, speed & power is like nothing Haye have ever been in the ring against. I honestly believe Wladimir can KO Haye with the jab alone.

    Yes but Hide was ahead on the cards and was never given a rematch therefore he won the event.
