I might give Haye more of a chance against Vitali than Wlad at this point.

    Somewhat counter-intuitive, but Wlad has become too good to make mistakes under pressure in my opinion. Vitali's aggressive nature would give Haye openings and he has more than enough power to put Vitali in trouble.

    Thoughts?

    I disagree. Vitali is alot tougher than Wlad, and of course a granite chin compared to Wlad's glass one. While Wlad is the better overall boxer, he still appears fragile when the going gets tough. Vitali on the other hand is as cool as cucumber.

    I just think Haye's handspeed and power, can possibly give Wlad a problem early in the fight. Maybe make him have a panic attack or drop him. I guess will see.

    Age may hamper Vital;i Wlad is solid right now Vitali showed age even in dominating his last two wins.

    I agree with you but I think that Wlad has matured to the point of being able to keep it together. His win over Peter did not surprise me but I was impressed by the way he kept it together after tasting the canvas three times.

    Vitali is tough but he can definitely be KOED. He has not taken too many big shots compared to other fighters who are considered granite chinned, and if he goes after Haye in anger I think Haye might damage him significantly.

    Maybe not, but I think people are too quick to presume the status quo answer.

    I'll bet the house on Vitali if he ever fights Haye.

    I've felt this way since Haye turned HW.

    Maybe when he hits 45 someone could KO him, but he ain't going down at only 38, and not by Haye, who'll be too busy struggling, himself, to stay on his feet. :good

    As a Haye fan it pains me to say it, but either one of them would knock him spark the **** out.
