    Yes, But only before the fight so people can say he hasnt got a chance etc, but if he wins expect Vitali's age and inactivity to be brought up quickly.

    To tell ya the truth, that win against Peter was over-rated. Peter was horrble before Vitali beat him, anyway. Now that he is fighting a legit contender, we will finally see if Vitali is for real.:hey

    At the end of the day when he knocks vitali out he will go after wlad then there will be no excuses.

    Yes he does get more credit for going after Vitali first. Vitali is supposedly more dangerous and harder to beat for Haye.
    Now, that said, there would also be merit to anyone who says that Vitali's age plays a factor in this fight. It does. I think it's a huge reason why Haye can win. If Vitali has slowed down enough, Haye will beat him. Unfortunately, the Peter fight was not a good indication of what Vitali has left. Peter is/was a suckish fighter, and he was even more suckish on that night. Vitali could have just mailed in that performance due to the slow, fat, skill-less opponent.

    He definitely deserves more credit there, who expected him to take on Vitali anyway?, it was a shocking announcement. As a fan of both this will be a difficult to watch but hopefully fair and entertaining.

    To haters and ******s of course it all depends on the result. If Haye wins then he's scared to death from Wlad and if he loses then he should retire as soon as possible.

    Only to people who don't really know what they are talking about. He gets major credit for me if he fights Vitali, but I sure don't consider Vitali a harder fight than Wlad... that's just absurd. I don't consider even a Prime Vitali better than Wlad, let alone a 38 year old, injury riddled Vitali who has only fought once in 5 years.

    Vitali is going to brutally KO the Glass Jawed Haye.

    I don't see why Haye has a glass jaw. Also, if Vitali does knock him out, I don't think that would prove that he has a glass jaw either.
