    I think Haye would beat Wlad any way. Vatil is where I have my doubts.

    If only Wlad had a chin, then he could be a succesful fighter like Tua or Mccall.

    Wait, what.. :huh

    Jesus, man- Vitali is the much tougher brother, IMO. If Haye KO's Vitali- I said IF before I'm attacked- then he'll easilly dispose of Wlad, IMO.

    Not sure - he's (Vitali) had 2 fights in like the last 5 years. It would be impressive for Haye, but I don't think makes him a favorite over Wlad. Wlad has been way more active.

    5 years ago I would agree with you. Now Vitali is a walking injury.

    Just because if he beat Vitali doesn't mean he would beat his brother. 2 different styles of fighting.

    The first of the two brothers that lands cleanly KO's Haye. That equals, in my opinion, the first one to manage to get him in the ring. But I suspect Haye's back will start aching again as whichever matchup approaches.

    You are sorely mistaken. Wladimir is getting very popular in the usa.

    I cant call this one, I hate betting on heavy weights caz it can go either way, Haye can cause a upset here i dont doubt this but then he might get KO caz i havent seen him take a big shot yet especially of a super heavyweight.

    I'm a lot more impressed with Wlad at the moment. Sure Vitali is a hell of a lot tougher, and was better in his prime, but I'm just not impressed with him since his return. His timing looked awful to me against Gomez. He is slow as hell around the ring now and his arms looked tired quickly.

    For Haye to win he'd have to pretty much not get hit hard.

    And if he did that, and knocked out Vitali, I still wouldn't have huge confidence the same would happen against Wlad. Wlad is a lot faster, better footwork, is timing his shots perfectly.

    Haye knocking out Old Man Vitali would do nothing but help build up the fight with Wlad even more. Wlad would still knock David Haye out when they fought. It would make for a great storyline though.
