    Vitali will KO nim mid rounds.Haye won't get past the jab and get frustrated.Even with his hand speed,Vitali has good footspeed to move away.

    It gives Vitali a nice long time to line up a good plastic surgeon to put his face back together again.

    Snap judgement - Vitali wins by stoppage.

    But this is a fight in which the division as a whole can gain a lot.

    Hard to tell. Peter was awful vs Klitschko, so it's difficult to guage if he really is as good as he looked.

    Personally, I like the skills and handspeed of Haye over the solidity of Klitschko. I can see Haye picking him off with quick, accurate attacks. I think Haye's power is phenomenal, but Vitalis chin is also remarkable (how he stood up top Lewis' punches I'll never know; I think Lewis had the greatest on shot power of any fighter for decades, and Klitschko fgot tagged clean), so I'm going for a close-ish points win for Haye.

    Lewis also stiff jabs and doesn't always load up every time. In some respects he fights like a Klitschko. Haye brings angles and vulnerability which means it will be a great fight and I feel both fighters are going to struggle to dominate the other. Vitali is a great fighter but take a close look at his record and it's not as hot as some suggest. Haye has a real shout here and it won't surprise me (if he's cute about it) that he picks up a win. Haye's problem is he worries too much about looking good and soaks up too many jabs in the meanwhile. Something that will cost him the fight.

    The history of what? Haye has never had to go 12 rounds at any kind of pace, so it is unknown. There is no history.

    I think Haye can use his speed and get a UD if he's in and out and moving a lot. VK has some of the slowest hands I've seen and neither brother has much inside game or punch variety. I must admit, they do look sensational beating up slow, fat, non athletic and generally unfit overmatched boxers though. Between Peter and Rahman neither managed to move their heads to avoid any shots until they were on the verge of going down.

    To me this fight isn't as cut n dry as people think.

    Haye is too hungry to lose, he won't quit like Peter or Vitali did, he'll keep throwing bombs whilst Vitali bounces him around the ring with his superior strength it will look like Vitali has it won then a huge Haymaker will get through and detach Vit from his senses people who though his chin was unbreakable will watch in shock as he gets smashed to pieces by the always dangerous fast David Haye!!
