    Haye, because I'm Puerto Rican and I think it's better for HW boxing and boxing in general.

    Oh, so now were are going to throw clinching into the equation also? Lennox did his fair share in his career the Tyson fight was disgraceful.

    While your criticism of the Klitschko sisters is valid, I would add that all Wlad does is sit back and:

    Jab, jab, clinch. Clinch, clinch, jab. Jab, right hand, clinch, clinch.

    They're not called the "Klinchko" Sisters for nothing.

    :yep

    Of course I have to bring up clinching. It totally slows down and dulls the pace of a fight. And while Lennox did clinch in his career, most notably in the Tyson fight, it pales in comparison to the amount of hugging that Waldo does.

    Have you ever seen Vitali Klitschko fight? He does not clinch and throws plenty of right hands, left hooks, jabs, uppercuts etc.

    Both Lewis and Holmes fought behind a jab and had zero charisma. None.

    So, by the standards you originally set we can lump them in with the Klitschko's. :deal

    Everyone has to support Haye in this one. Not because Haye is some kind of stellar fighter because he isnt, i've heard him mention he wants to emulate Holyfield but really he shouldnt mention himself in the same stratosphere as Holyfield who is one of the most inspirational fighters in history.
    The heavyweight division needs a guy like Haye as top dog. The Klitschko's have killed the division because of they're attitude. I personally thought that Lewis was the most ultra cautious, boring heavyweight in history but then i seen Wlad pawing out that jab for 12 rounds and suddenly i had a lot more respect for Lennox.
    The problem with the Klitschko's is that like Lennox they are 'point scoring' heavyweights, they score rounds themselves and they love it when they can win a fight with little risk and never have to take a shot, that kind of thing kills the heavyweight division especially with warriors like Tyson and Holyfield lingering in the memory.
    The Klitschko's need to be retired and i hope Haye is the guy to do it. As a betting man i'll be going strong on Wlad because he's a man with skills and Haye has zero record as a heavyweight but im praying Haye can deliver ..

    Haye, because I live near a lot of Domincans and I think it's better for HW boxing and boxing in general.

    Did you just mention Larry Holmes in the same sentence as Klitschko and Lewis ??
    Oh man Larry Holmes is a top 5 heavy of all time, alot of people who know nothing criticise Holmes but he was poetry, and had a fire inside of him that got you on your feet. I'll never forget Holmes v Shavers. Shavers detonates one of the biggest punches ive ever seen on the chin of Holmes, Larry gets up, shakes his head and starts trading with him .. What heart, what a fighter .. You think Lennox and the Klitschko's would do that, no chance .... Larry Holmes is a true boxing legend who actually did have charisma .. This poster obviously knows nothing about Larry Holmes ..
    Has anybody ever seen the footage of Holmes jumping on top of a car and drop kicking Trevor Berbick ? Holmes is a Legend

    LOL @ "Wild David"...sounds like the name of a Jewish rockband

    But ugh... My sig sums it up, Hayes a warrior, but Wlads a good boxer too, very good even, but let's keep it real, true story, he's a turn off to casual boxing fans, and even boring to alot of hardcore boxing fans, Hayes just the complete opposite, nuff said..

    Nobody said Holmes is not a legend or an ATG. But, he did fight cautiously behind a jab and had zero charisma two things TommyV specified in his original post.
