    Wlad.

    He will use his jab to neutralize Haye then take him out after he gasses, I aint writing Haye off however because he does have the tools to cause an upset (Speed, Agility and that bomb of a punch).

    Wlad ko/tko.
    I want Haye to win I just think Wlad will be able to shut him down. Haye has to get him early, I think Wlad will just bide his time and pick him open, then stop him. Haye has great athleticism but Wlad has a big edge in textbook boxing skill.

    Haye stoppage early-mid rounds.Wlad is upright and susceptible to Hayes powerful,quick counters.

    Wlad TKO.

    Hits harder
    Better chin
    Bigger reach
    Protects his own chin better

    Haye has a punchers chance, due to his power and speed, but he doesn't defend himself well and despite having a great jab, seems to only use it on rare occasions.
    Wlad has the much better chin and power that is proven at Heavyweight and not Cruiser.

    I will of course be cheering on Haye and hoping to be proven totally wrong.

    Haye wins and it won't be a surprise to me at all. As Alan Minter once said,you can teach a man how to box(Wlad) but you can't teach a man how to fight(Haye)

    Klitschko by stoppage.

    I think Haye forces Wlad to fight and will not be a passive punching bag like some of Wlad's recent foes.

    Haye gives Wlad trouble early on and forces Klitschko to retaliate. When he does I think he ends the fight.

    This one finishes on a TKO in about 6 rounds with Wlad's hand being raised at the end.

    I'm pulling for Haye , and expect him to win. However if he is going to lose , thats how he'll lose

    He hurts Wlad but not enough to put him away and its bring the aggressive Wlad out which would then be real bad news for Haye.

    Hopefully tho Wlad is so concerned with hiding his own chin he goes straight back and gets clocked.... here's hoping anyway!
