    Skillful - yes.

    The most skillful - no.

    Technically and fundamentally, PBF is a better boxer than Wlad, but would obviously get flattened with the first punch that landed. Similar argument for Haye, except Haye isn't that great a boxer. He is a puncher boxer.

    What is the relevance of this question?

    Hide was knocked out clean because he faced Bowe and Vitali. If Hide's toughest competition were Thompson and Mormeck, he might have never been knocked down. Stupid comparison.

    And about the OP's question: Haye is not very skilled. He has speed, power, some good offensive skill and at cruiser he had a size advantage. His defense relies solely on reflexes, he often gave his height advantage away to smaller fighters (something Wlad would never allow to happen), has mediocre footwork.

    Vitali is the best heavyweight boxer by a country mile. He has tremendous skills and would beat anybody, including his brother.

    Ah, boy. I'm still having trouble thinking of Adamek as being 'in the picture' in the HW division.

    i wouldn't call that skill, i'd call that height, reach and weight ... to me Vladimir is more skilled than his older brother.

    I might agree with this, it's subjective and all that but these are my opinions as well.

    He is the most slick heavyweight today and he's style is much appriciated by the public. But i think both the klitshckos are just as skillfull

    What's your reasoning, how the **** can you justify that who has he fought in HW, at this point no way in hell **** he has not even fought in a year how can you make a statement like that.:patschAnd most likely is not going to win this fight with Valv..

    also, to me ... if you can't throw a hook and an upercut you can't be the most skilled fighter. this goes for the Klitschkos.

    :good

    The most skillful and best in the Heavyweight Divsion is Wladimir Klitschko.

    But good to see, Haye looks well trained, not fat, great shape!
