    Vitali looked very good yesterday but it was Briggs' style that made him look good. Vitali looks slow against any mobile fighter; even Sosnowski made him look bad. Before yesterday's fight I was pretty sure that Haye would beat him (not Wladimir, though), now I can't choose a favorite anymore.

    Haye cannot beat Vitaly with a ball bat. We all know that, and so does Haye.

    I would love to see Haye in there suffering the same fate.

    I honestly think Haye would ahve been killed.

    Man, I hope your fighter is OK. Briggs pissed me off a couple of times when he compared himself to Ali and all that, but at the end of the day I always thought he was a good man and a ballsy fighter. I just hope he wan't too ballsy.

    I changed my mind a bit after last night's fight.

    Previously, I didn't give Haye more than a 15% chance against Vitali; now I'm thinking it's more like 35-40%. People are letting their relativism blind them. Vitali wasn't that special yesterday and has gotten noticably worse. He can be taken.

    What people seem to forget is Haye often does nothing for large portions of his fights. Vitali throws a lot more punches, and because of this the fight will go however VK wants it to go. Also Vitali is a good counter puncher, and happy to fight going forwards or on the back foot. Haye has none of this versatility. Experience will allow Vitali to deal with whatever Haye brings in the first 2 rounds, and then its a shutout

    People overrate Haye's chances because they want to see an exciting fight. I don't really blame them, but its not going to happen

    Haye would be a live opponent for a couple of rounds, but from then on would be forced into fighting Vitali's fight and get beaten up like all Vitali opponents. Vitali is too smart in the ring for Haye. Too experienced and too big

    Vitali looked effectively disorganized as usual, but relentless

    Briggs couldnt put three punches together

    Can Haye beat Vitali? No, I dont see a realistic way, Dave will struggle to land the right hand, Vit has too much range, its fine saying Haye can close the gap on him, but in reality he just cant do that.

    Haye cant beat him on the inside, vit is too strong / massive, and he cant beat him from the outside. If haye lands a bomb Vitali aint going anywhere..

    People are seriously using Briggs as some sort of measuring stick as to how Haye will do:rofl

    Haye will lose imo but he has a far better chance than Briggs, wake the **** up.

    Hey, I just wanted to say major props to Briggs for not quitting. He's a true warrior. I hope he's okay................

    Put the crackpipe down :rofl

    First of all, Haye doesn't have the balls to sign the contract against either one of the Klitschkos. If & when he grows a pair, David will be KO'd for sure.

    Haye has zero power at HW. Where is this falsehood coming from? Vitali would bend him over his bed. People just want to see a black HW champion. Lets call a spade a spade. Only reason 90% of the people are rooting for Haye.
