    Haye had his shot against Wlad. He needs so re-establish himself among the top ten fighters really. But we all know that boxing doesn't always work like that.

    Too smart to keep going too long. He knows his arm was the major factor yesterday, and he knows when it'll be time to call it a day.

    With a torn tendon, maybe someone may be able to take him out.........but why didn't Chisora then?

    A two armed Vitali still steemrolls everyone, even at 40.

    Nah man badr hari is a kickboxer with a glass chin, he doesnt have the experience as a boxer to beat a guy like vitali, he wont even beat a guy like chambers or chagaev.

    Exactly.

    It's all *****-ass excuses. Chisora gets a shot at the old man because they felt like he would be beaten easily. After two straight losses.


    Haye doesn't deserve a shot because they know he is a threat. We all know that outside of Wlad, Haye has the best shot right now of beating Vitali of anyone out there.


    Who gives a **** what happened against Wlad. They aren't the same ****ing people!!!!!! Chisora lost to who before he got his shot!?!?!?

    I thought Chisora beat him. He's definitely slowing down. After suffering an injury in this fight I wouldn't blame him if he retired on top ala Lennox Lewis.

    Vitali is getting old and he is only getting older its about time to hang them up. He hurt his arm, but thing like that happen when you get old. He really has lost a lot of his exsplosivness. Also his endurance seems to be getting worse he looked close to collapasing at times last night.

    Good fight to retire on. What else can he do? Maybe a fight with David Haye, but thats about the only big fight left for him and he don't need it.

    Haye is a joke at heavyweight, jeez, dont even pretend hes the champ in waiting when ehs already been the most paperweight champ ever in this weight, including the Klitmen, Ruiz and Valuev.

    Honestly Hari's defence sucks and he wings punches. But...Vitali has no power and i think Hari could bullrush him and hurt him. Vitali's defence isn't so hot against similar sized opponents.

    Let's let the dust settle on the left arm injury issue first, then I will vote.

    Sure, Haye has more speed and power than Chisora. But what Chisora showed last night - courage, stamina, chin, and willingness to pressure his opponent - is not exactly what Haye has in spades.

    Even at this age, you need a combination of Chisora and Haye to beat Vitali.

    Crazy how Haye looked like garbage when he fought Wlad, has done nothing in the mean time, but now all of a sudden he beats Vitali easily. I don't even know if Haye beats Chisora, let alone Vitali.

    People are buying into the hype all over again, even after he was humiliated in the Wlad fight. It reminds me of how people kept thinking Roy Jones was gonna pull off a big win vs Tarver III, then Calz, then Hops etc. Do people have no memory?

    Haye barely even got hit in the Wlad fight. His offence was severly lacking, but he hardly got humiliated.

    Still he has experience and work rate to pick him apart, I think he stops him, Badr Hari is very good as a kickboxer but boxing a worldclass heavy is another level.
    Like I said I think even a guy like chagaev would beat him, but working with nazeem and fighting often might help him get better and used to the sport.

    Haye had an opportunity against the "easier" Klit, and rather than exiting the ring on his shield, he proved to by all sizzle and little substance.

    End of.
