    Same here. My first choice of any possible heavyweight fight would be Vitali vs Haye.

    The obvious answer is yes. Any boxing fan would have to answer yes. Now what Haye wants is another question, Vitali has thrown down the gauntlet to him many times before and Haye never seemed to have enough interest to actually fight him.

    Vitali would knock Haye out, that's why Haye broke an implied contract with him and a signed contract with Vlad. Haye will fight Audley next, then Christy Martin, fight every one or two years and fake it.

    It would make more sense though.

    A lot of people think Wlad is the better of the brothers. If Haye fought Wlad first it wouldn't make as big a fight with Vitali afterwards (who may be another two years older by then).

    As the others have already said, should Haye beat Vitali first (also an easier fight) it would set up a huge unification fight with Wlad with a nice family revenge side story.

    That would be massive!

    I am not sure exactly how many fights Vitali has left, but it can't be too many. K2 got an extension to their contract with RTL for a total of 5 fights for the brothers. Allegedly Vitali accounted for two of those, including (!) Sosnowski (see German language link @ http://www.bild.de/BILD/sport/mehr-...r-vitali-und-wladimir-box-wm-auf-schalke.html )

    According to that logic Vitali has one fight left before retirement. If Haye has any common sense left he'd step in and take on Vitali right now.

    :lol:
    Who's after Christy? If Haye goes after Laila or Ann Wolfe he gets KTFO!:lol:

    All seriousness aside though, Haye will not fight a Klitschko until Vit is as least 41, and he will never fight Wlad.

    I agree. But to say "Vitali is fighting Hayes leftovers" is stupid. I just was making a point that they all fight each other.. so i guess everyone fights everyones leftovers:D

    yes but Haye has a better chance against Wlad - Vitali has an iron chin and Haye would just punch himself out trying to crack it.
