    Well that wouldn't surprise me. So based on your avatar I take it you're a Haye fan...............I hope and pray we'll see Haye fight either of the Klitschkos in 2010.

    I am not sure whether Haye will have the courage to fight either Klitschko.
    However, I can only hope he does. It will be a brutal KO loss for Haye!

    Yeah I think Haye will probably get knocked out but I never say never, after all, as Vitali has said before..........it's heavyweights....all it takes is one punch. But I hope Haye fights them.

    vitali did not show enough variety of punch and did seem to lack idea's when it came down to breaking johnson and i am no great fan of the brothers klit but i do think it is a shame they have not had any worthy challengers

    hope you and your family have had a nice xmas day:good

    I think Vitali at his peak wouldve hung around with some
    decent heavies, due to being a tough *******.

    I cant say the same for Wlad, he probably has better skills
    and is more athletic, but I cant get past the times he has
    been KO'd, I think Tyson would be at very skinny odds to
    put Wlad to sleep by the second round.

    I give the Klitz their due as the best Heavyweights atm.

    But realistically, the next best probably isnt much better
    than a near 45 yr old Holyfield.

    When it comes to Wlad vs. Tyson, I can't help but think of the Douglas fight and the Tony Tucker fight.

    Against Tucker Tyson was caught and staggered by an uppercut that I see a bigger and more athletic Wlad catching him with after softening him up with the jab and right hand. Tyson always struggle against tall fighters with great jabs. See Lewis fight.

    Yeah and it can happen the other way around too. The first straight right hand from Wlad could knock Tyson out. I always liked Tyson though b/c he was a wrecking machine and was fun to watch. But we all know he didn't do well against big, tall, athletic guys. Look was Douglas and Lewis did to him.....
