    David Haye beating Vitali would certainly help the division from the standpoint of bringing in new blood and creating a new challenge for the other titlist(s) that otherwise isn't there with Vitali around.

    On the otherhand, Haye does not appear to be a long lived champion, or at least not on paper. His chin was questionable even at the cruiserweight ranks, and his aggressive offense, while effective, can also prove to be his undoing as he tends to leave himself open. Additionally, he has shown the he can be cocky and even distasteful at times, which doesn't gain much in the way of fan support.

    It will be interesting to see how this match plays out, but frankly I don't see either man emerging as the savior of the division, nor having a long tenure as champion.

    Haye is getting a big money fight for what? Unifying one of boxing's weakest division, beating a second rate heavy weight and having man boobs.

    I wish I had man boobs. I would get KTFO by Vitali for $5 million.

    Despite these classess acts by Haye, these are the type of tactics that makes the build up to a big fight like this even bigger. Klitschko should TKO him in the middle rounds but with Vitali's body we'll never know what could happen.

    And it was Carl Thompson who stopped Haye.

    I disagree with Thunder in one thing. I think Haye will die in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
