    I'm not a fan of either Klit, they are effective but very boring.

    When I watch their fights I prefer them with german commentary. I dont speak any german but it makes it watchable.

    or Mike Tyson. Analysing an opponent is one thing but pulling off a plan that sees a fighter operate in a different way is another. Most of the time this doesn't happen.

    No but Haye hasn't been struggling with these guys. Both Haye and WK have fought **** oppostition and it's a matter of what you see in them through their performances as to how you make a prediction.

    Both wlad and Haye get completely.overrated and underrated at the dame time. At heavy, wlad is much more proven. His chin may be shaky, but he changed his style to mitigate the risks of someone getting inside.

    Haye is a gun-slinger. that gives him advantages over some opponents, but probably not over a cautious methodical fighter.

    I think wlad has to seen as a decent favourite. But i'm sure it's going to a tedious fight until one of them.lands a sneaky shot late on.

    Agree with this.

    As for the fight, i think it will be fascinating, i know alot of people expect a stinker but i dont. It will be tense and dramatic.

    I've seen Wladimir included in top 20 heavyweights of all time lists. This is madness.

    Why is it?

    I'd say between 15-20 is about right for Wlad.

    He hasn't fought, let alone beaten a good heavyweight. Added to this is the fact that he's split this eras top contenders with his brother to a certain extent and would have been smashed to bits by most top fighters from the past. I'd even pick a pre war fighter like Dempsey to take him out. If his flaws hadn't already been so clearly exposed there would be good reason to consider him amongst the top 20 but this isn't the case.

    He's only overrated by his fans. Same as virtually every other fighter.

    Most people just recognize he's been the most consistent and accomplished heavyweight since Lewis. That's not really up for debate, he's fought a long list of contenders. Which admittedly havn't always been top notch but thats whats available.
