    Well the fact that he's planning on retiring this year procludes him from being a 'saviour' anyway. At least he's going to save us from having to watch another W. Klitschko bore fest in the next fight.

    Wlad can stay at long distance all night and simply jab his way to a "boring" points decision against Haye. Any excitement will be soley from Wlad's tactics, not Haye's...

    I think that he's overrated in the sense that a lot of people think that Haye has little chance against him. Nothing that he's done gives me that impression. Yes he has stylistic problems for Haye, but his predictable style will allow Haye opportunities.

    As opposed to the Haye-Valuev borefest and the Haye-Audley embarassment...

    I predict that the Haye- Wlad fight is gonna be utter wank to watch. A bit like the Haye-Valuev fight.

    It's even enough in my eyes. Nearly every time Wlad fights people bring up the fact that if somebody can get inside and put him under pressure, and land a few choice shots on his chin, that he could go a bit shaky. Haye might finally be the fighter with the speed to execute this plan.

    Haye is full of venerability himself tough, and I do believe that Wlad has more skill then him and mind end up handling him comfortably. Nobody can really know how it's going to go for sure, because neither guy has faced somebody like the other.

    Haye - Valuev was **** Ok but the Harrison equivalent for Wlad would have been 12 rounds of the tosh rather than 3.

    When has Wlad faced somebody as poor as Harrison?

    I hope your right, would love to see Haye break the K2 monotony of the division but I think the fight could go either way. If Haye catches him with anything that resembles a decent shot then Wlad's in trouble but at the same time he has to finda way through fairly solid defence to get to the big fellas suspect chin.

    I don't agree at all that Wladimir has more skill. Something that Haye has which is very rare these days is the ability to slip and counter punch straight away. I don't see this kind of reactive boxing in many other fighters. Wladimir boxes from a book, Haye looks like he's learnt and improved from doing.

    Don King protects his fighters. Especially heavyweight WBA belt holders

    At what point in Wlad and Toney's careers should they have met?

    Wlad would have knocked Audley out in the first round. That's not exactly saying much, Haye could have too if he'd wanted
