    I know most people, including myself, dont see this happening. That's just say Haye gets in there and tears Vitali a new *******, knocks him down once or twice and knocks him out in the 3rd round, completely dominant. Would you change your mind about Haye? And the important question, would you suddenly favor him over Wlad if that was his next fight?

    No, everyone has the power to knock Wald out. Doesn't mean they are giong to hit him.

    If Haye could ko Vitaly, his stock would rise to the top in my world.

    I dont think Haye would knock out Vitali but if he did I would favor him to beat Wladimir by a punchers chance they both have completely different styles Wlad is a bit more behind the jab and very cautious and Vitali throws good power shots and is less cautious because he can take some good shots

    Anyone CAN knock out Vitaly. The big problem is getting that fist to the chin a bunch of times. It WILL not happen.

    If he KOs Vitali then I'll immediately pick him to beat Wladimir. Vitali's defense is better than Wladimir's

    The problem with this is there isn't a chance of it happening.
    Even with steroids.

    If a top Lewis couldn't KO him
    why would you ever even consider Haye being capable?

    It would have made more since
    to ask everyone to try to envision Haye out boxing Vitali. Least then it would have been possible.

    I am not sure. I consider Vitali clumsier out of the two. And Vitali keeps his hands lower than Wlad.

    Yeah that uppercut Lewis landed would have knocked out just about anyone but Vitali took it. His chin is unreal.

    I go with Wlad because he is more fast than Vitali, better punches, better movement,better defence, he is a more complete and fluid fighter and he has the great HOF Trainer Emanuel Steward in his corner.

    Viali is not the same he was in 2003.

    But if Vitali will fight Haye, Haye will get knocked out.
