    Dude, you need to take your blinders off. I'm an American and I like the Klitschko's as well as I like Haye. Objectively speaking, Haye should be given no more than a puncher's chance against Wlad at this point in his HW career. That's even being generous to Haye IMO because his KO of Barrett only showed good HW power, not the type of awesome HW power his fans claim he has. If he had truly awesome power, it wouldn't have taken that many knockdowns to end it. Also note that the version of Barrett Wlad destroyed was younger, fresher, and fought a more disciplined fight against Wlad. I think that Haye would beat many of the top level HW's, but until then he's not anywhere near Wlad's class of HW fighter. I would love to see Haye vs Arreola/Gomez and if Haye demolished either impressively I would start taking him more seriously as a HW contender.

    I can remember Froch and Haye always fighting on the same bills as each other when they first turned pro, they were always on the BBC at the start and I thought they were about the best prospects in the country at the time and it turns out I was right.

    I'm worried about Haye against Wladamir though, I mean Klitschko isn't exactly a warrior but that makes him even harder to hit! I would like to know what Haye's plan is for that one? He'll have to control the range with speed and attacking from angles but Wlad can move pretty fast for a big guy and I don't know if Haye will be able to catch him like he thinks he can?

    Just one Brit sticking up for another. Boring or not, Wlad would have KO'd Haye. Now, somebody else will just get to do it first.

    When you have skill.... use it. That's it. Same with Floyd, why should they give their opponent the slightest chance? I know it might be boring sometimes but is better to secure a win.

    Haye fans, watch the first round of Lennox vs Tyson for an example of holding. Cause it was getting out of hand. Unless you also hate Lennox. Lennox vs Vitali wasn't too pretty either in the holding department.

    I dont remember all that much holding, but even if you are right. I also remember both men going punch for punch with each other as well, something I have never seen Wlad do once, because he can't.

    Wlad is one of those fighters who are great when things are going smooth and his oppenents putting up little to no fight. It's when his oppenent actually goes on the attack and makes it a fight, not a boxing match, does Wlad start to panic, fall numerous times, and clinch. The guy is an extremely talented big man who has learned how to shield his achilles heel (Glass chin), with the help of Steward. Though while dominant, he is last fighter I would think of when describing a warrior.

    Dear lord One has fought Jermain Taylor and won by miracle in the last round of a fight he was losing and the other has fought nobody and they are talking about the best heavyweight right now who fights the best and busts them all up regularly.

    Froch is a doucebag trying to make a name for himself in the media. He isn't good at it.

    Neither of them were anywhere near as bad as recent WALDO bore-fests for holding though. Also to be fair to Lewis he was facing Mike Tyson and VITLAY, not stubby armed midgets that can't punch.
