A lot of people believes that Haye picked Wlad because of the weakness he has in punch resistance.. Which is a flaw that Wlad's older brother Vitali doesnt have, Vitali is also more physical and is not afraid of making a brawl out of it.. Some boxing fans/expert thinks that Vitali is an almost unwinable match up for Haye.. BUT, would Vitali still be able to handle Haye in 2012 (assuming that Haye gets past Wlad)?? Personally i would have loved to watch Haye-Vitali 2 years ago, i believe that it would have been a serious beat down of David, i cant see what Haye should do to stop Vitali.. I would rather have (a younger?) Vitali fighting Haye, since he is bigger, Tougher and meaner than Wlad, and would IMO have made Haye suffer more.. but at the age of 40 Haye will have a big advantage in speed and reflexes, Vitali would still be tougher and stronger than Haye through..
Haye won't be able to land anything on Vitali he is too tall and his lean back and counter style would give Haye fits. Haye would try and fight him just like he did Valuev.
