    I won't rise to that tone, especially considering you thought Naseem Hamed was a lightweight two minutes ago.

    I've followed the sport for 20 years + and I pick Haye by knockout for reasons I think are valid. I'm not a nut hugger in any way shape or form. I think Wladimir is a classy bloke but I think he will lose this fight.

    Haye's introduction to heavyweight has been okay considering he fights Klitschko next. End of!

    I thought you would bring that first part up.

    Are you British by any chance? Does that have anything to do with you picking Haye?

    If you're so confident, would you like to make a bet?

    LOL Wide open.

    I'm Scottish bro but I'm media and I NEVER go down the patriotic route. I've been to Las Vegas 4 times, 5 by next year. I've been to LA, New York, Texas and watched the best fighters in the world. Incidentally I paid for all they trips, my media credential only extends to fights in Scotland.

    If Haye gets trashed then I'll hold my hands up.

    I've got bets going on already for this fight but forum betting ain't for me!

    At least you're not a patriotic nuthugger.:good

    I will bring this thread up after Haye gets outclassed, and I do mean outclassed.

    I know I should be expecting these kind of replies from Farmy, but they still make me laugh out loud.

    I know a lot of people who share your opinion and I'm in the minority.

    Both guys carry power and both are vulnerable which is why it has injected excitement back into the division. It's the most significant heavyweight clash since Lewis fought Holyfield for the second time in 1999. I don't include the Lewis/ Vitali clash because that was made at 10 minutes notice. This one has been brewing for years!

    I can't wait for it!

    Vlad's defense is totally superior, so is his balance, jab, right hand, left hook, hook off the jab, right hook, uppercut, etc., Vlad's has the reach, size, power advantage and Vlad's punches are much straighter!!!!!!!

    Haye is faster, more explosive and has better movement.

    Regarding the edge you give Wlad in relation to punch variety? I'm anxious to see Wlad's shots work against a target that A.) Can move out of the way and B.) Can hit him back.

    Wlad is way faster than Haye and Chambers. Not even close.

    Haye is not as fast as Adamek in the heavyweight division. I along with most observers think that Haye Adamek would be a much more competitive fight.

    You're severely overrating David Haye...his footwork sucks and he's not faster than Eddie Chambers or Sultan Ibragimov, who Wlad had his way with. Haye is in trouble if he doesn't back out of this fight as well.

    Are these clowns that are saying slow Eddie Chambers, useless Ibragimov and overated Adamek are all quicker than Haye for real? :nut

    Haye is much quicker and explosive than all of them, not just with his hands but feet also.

    Bunch of deluded clowns.
