    I actually think Lewis would have lost the fight. He was blowing out of his arse just like the Rahman fight and Klitschko would have nailed him. I'm a huggggeeeee Lewis fan and no question Lewis is/was/always will be the greater fighter but that looked very likely to be reverse number three as a result of complacency- but he dug in proved his bottle and got a horrible, exciting win.... under-rated fight. One of the best especially considering the unsatisfactory ending.

    Not to take anything away from a win, it would be a Spectacular win, but I thought Vitali was a bit slower last time out, and his footwork not so great - he may well have just been a little rusty though.

    Still having said that I'd say Haye has about 20% at most. It's very doubtful Haye will knock Vitali out, and there is a very big question mark as to whether Haye can handle Vitali's power for twelve rounds. At some point Haye is going to have to take Vitali's shots. I say 20% being generous, on the off chance that some bad style match up for Vitali crops up, and the smaller man Haye out works him and miraculously manages to take the big shots he gets caught with. If Haye can give him a very tough time, there is always a very slim chance a part of VItali's body gives in I suppose...

    I wouldn't give Haye one chance in ten, I can't see how he wins it.

    Then again I said the same thing about Pacquiao...at least he was the same weight as DLH though.

    He's got a chance but not a very big one. I'll definately be pulling for him to get the upset.

    I think Haye has a punchers chance, but then again Lewis hit Vitali with everything and he didnt go anywhere and Lewis is a far superior puncher than Haye.

    To be honest i dont think Haye has a chance at all and i think Vitali will ko him early, in about 5.

    Having said that if Haye wins i will be one of the first to say i was wrong, but i know i wont be.
