    I'd like Haye to win but I can't see it, he is getting KO'd IMO.

    Haye because I enjoy watching him fight whereas Wlad is boring as ****. Simple as that.

    Wlad, because I like way he boxes and carries himself.

    Though I don't have ovaries so unlike a lot of people on here I am a fan of both, I don't pick one side and hate the other as if I actually know either of them.

    By jabbing and clinching until most fans lose the will to live? Yeah, he makes quite the statement when he let's those fists fly.

    Yeah your the type to watch 14 minutes of floor ****ing in the MMA just to see one devastating shot or a chokeout and then call Wlad boring.

    It called precision, distance, tempo, delivery. Wlad is a PUGILIST. Why would he waste his ability to fight down to lesser opposition(namely everyone he's ever fought).
    His style is such that he is prepping for his 50th KO victory. Yeah real ****ing boring. How many KOs did Ruiz have? Lewis? Holyfeild?

    All fine champs in their prime, but none with the finishing skills of Wlad.:deal

    Yeah - Whitaker, JMM and Ricardo Lopez are three of my favourite fighters but I obviously can't appreciate real "pugilists" like Wlad. Technical fighters can be great to watch but Wlad isn't. Jabbing and clinching while eschewing almost all other offence until he's absolutely cerrtain his (usually much smaller) opponent can't do anything crazy like punch him back (God forbid) just doesn't do it for me.

    He doesn't have to be Frazier or Tyson - I'd settle for how he used to fight up until Brewster -. He might be a better fighter now but his fights have little-or-no entertainment value.

    Haye, because I've followed him since he was an amateur. Despite what's been said on here re: Klitschkos, he's never ducked a challenge (seriously, look at his cruiser CV and the pace he was moved at), he's smart and even self-deprecating (forget the cr*p he speaks, remember he also said that if WK beats him that he's "gonna look like a real tit"), he's one of the few British fighters in the 25 years I've watched the sport who has genuinely been number one in a division, and he is one of the few British fighters who has real talent at a top, top level.

    CV-wise he's below Hamed, Honeyghan and Calzaghe, but, if he carried on past 31, I honestly believe he'd only be behind Lewis for Brits of the past 25 years. He's already ahead of Hatton.

    Froch, Benn, Eubank, Andries, Nelson, McMillan, I don't count, because I don't believe that they were ever really number one in their division.

    Oh and Chitownfightfan, Lewis was the best one punch finisher in the history of the division.

    Haye is a nobhead now, he`ll be unbearable if he wins this fight.

    Klitschko all the way, he is the better boxer & bigger as well so he should beat Haye, there is always that punchers chance for Haye but Klitschko by TKO late on looks the best bet to me.

    He won't be. He acts like a nobhead (as did Froch, before he got his due), but he ain't Naz. Haye's a pretty normal guy who puts it on. He's retiring at 31, the VK fight won't happen, so he'll be ok and feel he's got nowt left to prove. If he loses... well, lineal champ at cruiser, the WBA heavy strap and world am silver medal is still a pretty bloody good career.
