    I'm not a Haye Nuthugger... bu hypothetically if Haye beats Wlad the Vitali(however unlikely) and is undisputed CW and Hw champ after 25 fights..

    That's a serious achievement.. no-one has done that **** before.

    Again i stress unlikely but hypothetically this is impressive

    I'm picking Wlad by the way in this fight but if Haye hits as hard as many people inside boxing say... he is a LIVE contender.

    that would be a crazy feat and would gain him instant stardom and a place on the p4p lists even as a heavyweight

    Put that way, it is extremely impressive. Technically, note that he wouldn't have the WBA belt (so in some sense, not "fully" undisputed). With the VK win, though, he would likely pick up the Ring belt and re-establish HW lineage (assuming he'd be ranked #1/#2 with VK, in whatever order) - that doesn't happen everyday.

    But such impressive things are damned hard and I don't see it happening.

    Well we won't know how likely it is until he steps in the ring with both. That's only how you can make a good assesment on how likely it is.

    I give Haye less than a 1% chance of beating Haye, little more than 0%.

    I give Haye zero percent chance to beat Vitali.

    Nothing is impossible, but for Haye to beat either is highly improbable.

    If Monte Barrett gave Haye some trouble, minimal though it was, Wlad is going to annihilate him. Haye will have about a half dozen tries at knocking the ball out of the park, then Wlad's going to take him apart with jabs and overhand rights. End of story. Haye will never fight Vitali.

    If Haye lives up to his own hype he will knockout Wladimir Klitschko the first or second round. Klitschko isn't hard to beat if you know how to do it and have the resolve to get it done. If.....

    Holy has essentially done that and against better fighters.

    But it would be some achievement...I would really like to see him to it to tell you the truth..Win or lose he is fun to watch.

    If Holyfield were to fight Vitali or Vlad it would be a sad sight. I am afraid for Holyfield's health. He has taken too many punches.

    It's always better for boxing when the BEST man on the night wins.

    If Haye can pull it off, good for him.

    Holy LOST four out of five againt the two best fighters of his time. Bowe and Lewis are of the same mold of big, hard - punching HW's with good skills as the Klitschkos. IF Haye would beat both Klitschko's it would exceed anything Holyfield has done against the best of his era.

    Your first set of odds I agree with. There's the slim chance he does a Tyson Fury on himself and shatters his glass chin of course....
