    Very, was reluctant to throw punches at times. Had poor coordination, wasn't getting his punches off.

    The fact that he went 10 with Sosnowski says enough tbh.

    Definitely the smarter of the two fights for Haye. He should take it while it's still there, otherwise either someone else will get Vitali first, or he'll retire.

    I've said time and time again that Haye beats both Vitali and Wlad. I don't care who he fights first because he beats both. If anyone thinks David is gonna stand there and trade with VK they are simply wrong. Haye is a very underrated boxer and will use his abilities to beat Vitali and his power to beat Wlad.
    I'm not saying it will be Valuev all over again but Haye will move a lot against Vitali and go in and out when he needs to. By no means will it be easy or straightforward but he'll beat Vitali and he'll hurt him too.

    I have totally changed my mind and now think Hate destroys Vit with ease.

    He was ok but its his physical advantages of size and reach that are keeping him in contention if he had been the same size as Sosnowski last night he would have had a much harder fight. Would like to see Haye land something on Vitali and see how he reacts he didnt look all that keen on Sosnowski's right hand last night.

    Yes, I have pretty much changed my stance on Haye V Vitali now as well after his last 5 fights. I was always thinking of the Vitali of before when assessing a potential Haye fight, but it seems that Vitali has now gone forever.

    Loads of openings for Haye to exploit and I now think he's got a better chance versus Vitali as opposed to Wlad. Strange, really, as one year ago I couldn't contemplate anything other than a Vitali win against Haye. He's definately waned and looked pretty **** in all of his comeback fights against, let's be honest, pretty average fighters.

    The bookies still reckon Haye has a better shake at beating Wlad..... something I find strange.

    Vitali looked very beatable, in with a guy he should have taken out in less than 4 rounds he was unimpressive most of the time. I think Haye beats Vitali right now, probably on points, but Wlad would beat both.

    For those that are interested..... best prices from oddschecker.com :yep

    Haye vs Wlado

    Haye win 7/4
    Wlad win 8/13

    Haye KO 5/4
    Wlad KO 5/4
    Haye PTS 6/1
    Wlad PTS 6/1

    Draw 33/1

    Haye vs Vitali

    Haye win 21/10
    Vitali win 1/2

    Haye KO 15/8
    Vitali KO 5/4
    Haye PTS 5/1
    Vitali PTS 4/1

    Draw 33/1

    They are certainly being a bit generous on Wlad to win, and Haye to beat Vitali.

    If I were a bookie I'd have Wlad a fair bit shorter, 2/5 probably, and Haye vs Vitali pretty much 50-50.
