    Imo both Vitali and Wlad should be in the top 10 p4p. People whinge about who they fight, well who the **** should they fight when Haye , Povetkin etc don't want to fight them. I personally don't see Povetkin or Haye seriously being able to beat either. Lennox Lewis got starched in his career by Rahman and McCall who were nothing great and i don't give him much credit for beating WELL past their best Tyson and Holyfield. Wlad also got starched early in his career but that is how many years ago now ( 7 yrs or so ? ) and since then him and his brother have cleared out the division winning every rd and stopping almost everyone. For the record i would rate Lennox higher alltime then both Klitschko's.

    I like both Klitschko's they are gentlmen and treat the sport with respect always. They are smart men NOT dumb ****s like Tyson or Holyfield who do dodgy **** and end up in jail or have a million kids to a million different women all the while praising the lord.

    I will continue to support both Klitschko's and hope that the David Haye fight happens and that **** gets destroyed.

    Haye will whip either of them and that will be the end of it :)

    As I mentioned, they've combined to clean out the division, but there's decent contenders out there. Haye WILL fight him, that will happen. Solis, Povetkin (eventually) Boytsov.

    I really like David Haye, but i agree with Francis's post the Klitschko's are true gentleman & i would back them to beat David Haye based on size & power.
    Haye has speed no doubt but he has to get inside alot on these big boys without getting hit by a Klitschko sledgehammer.

    Haye is the best chance of de-throning one or both of the Klits IMO. Speed, power and confidence all in the one package might do the trick. Hard to see Haye dying wondering if he does get in with them anyway.

    Haye certainly doesn't boast the chin of Briggs, but perhaps he can get the job done without needing it. If Haye gets clobbered like Briggs did he certainly won't go the distance thats for sure.

    The difference for mine is that Haye has much better foot speed. That's the key to beating a Klitschko. He'll be able to move in and out before they pull the trigger. It'll actually be a pretty boring fight IMO, but Haye will outbox them both.

    It could well pan out as a game of tiggy. Where Haye gets in, lands, and gets out. If he can do that successfully, round after round, and survive, he'll succeed in gassing the Klits in the later rounds.

    Alternatively, if Haye gets tagged badly along the way, it'll end pretty quickly.

    Not only that, but if Haye clips Wladimir it'll be all she wrote. There could well be a lot of posturing and feinting in the fight. Both men have the power to take each other out - presuming it's Wlad v Haye that gets made.

    Full credit to Briggs' management team for getting him a title fight on the back of that opposition.

    Haye is following the perfect business plan for milking the fight for all it's worth. He's got himself a title, meaning a bigger slice of the pie. Fighting Harrison in an all British showdown, while Wladimir fights Chisora, another soap dodger. The fight will be ready to go European Summer 2011.
