    boy, haye looks small in that picture, but height won't be the deciding factor in this fight. it's just astonishing how wlad and vitali dwarf already tall fighters.

    I think this fight is 75/25 in Wlads favour. He has the tools to do the job but there is the nagging question of what happens if Haye lands big and stuns Wlad. He'll have to do it early as I don't think Haye has the whiskers to last until the later rounds - Wlad will beat him up and wear him down.

    However if Haye can land early and big, I think he's a more natural fighter/finisher and he won't let his opponent off the hook.

    I think this bout is over before the end of the 5th - either way. If Haye's trash-talking gets Wlad out of his normal gameplan - then it would have been worth doing. Regardless whether he has or not, he's certainly getting the fight plenty of coverage - I don't remember such a highly anticipated HW title fight since Lewis - Tyson.

    I hope we'll see a really wild brawl that ends with Haye winning by KO, I expect almost the exact opposite. (Voted Klitschko by Stoppage)

    So you voted with your head rather than your heart..............nothing wrong with that. :D Klitschko by KO within 5 rounds.

    I hope it's a good fight but I also hope that Haye wins and then maybe some of you anti Haye posters will have to concede that he's a better fighter than you give him credit for. I vote Haye by stoppage and that is my heart voting.

    I thought Haye was supposed to be 6'3"? Wladimir is listed as 6'6½"............looks like a lot more than 3½ inches difference to me.

    It pains me to say , but I just watched the london presser , Wlad seemed genuinely ****ed off , has Haye pushed it too far ?

    I do think he needs to get under his skin but ****!

    Haye is 6,3 but damn the difference in height looks more than 3/12 inches, is wlad still ****ing growing or something?

    They're 2 of the worst 'uppercuts' I've ever seen.

    Very effective when the opponent has lead boots
