    Probably a 50/50 fight as long as Haye doesn't slow himself up too much by overly bulking up.

    I personally feel he's being overated at the moment.He's got to have at least one meaningful fight at heavy to determine what he's capable of doing. As it stands, a ko for klit, In 5/6 rounds. Theres nothing i've seen of haye so far that makes me think he takes klit...

    the jury's still out on haye for me.fair enough good power and hand speed,but it's his overall durability and chin at the higher weight that i doubt.in fact i think he could be embarrased by vitali and sparked inside 3 rounds.

    At the moment I give hm no chance. Haye needs to prove he can deal with decent heavyweights before this fight happens.

    2 or 3. We have to be realistic, Wlad's defence is far superior to Haye's, his jab will be very difficult to pass, so chances are he'll catch Haye first as he'll have to do something out of his comfort zone to get near him.

    Haye prefers the other guy to lead off.

    If Klitschko went out for a brawl I would fancy him to get to Haye first utilizing his physical advantages over the smaller man, however knowing that Haye can bang I can see Klitschko being tentative and trying to bore Haye to death and tire him out.

    All I know is if Haye lands something substantial on Klitschko's chin it's lights out for the big man.

    7/10. I am being generous because I am securely seated on the Haye bandwagon.

    At the moment I'd say about 2. He's unproven at heavy. He's needs some competitive rounds at the weight, most importantly he has to find what sort of weight he's going to be most effective at.

    Don't be ridiculous.

    Peter is too ****ing slow and has no skill. Haye would beat him to the punch every single time, and if he lands clean the goat hearder would be down as he was against McCline.

    Chagaev can't even get out of bed.

    They are NOT tougher fights.

    I can see his point though with the styles thing.Peter would be a lot rougher fight than klit, and i see chagaev being better at heavy than haye. Not too ridiculous at all.

    If he immediately fought Wlad in his next fight, no-one else, not even a tune-up, I wouldn't give him more than a punchers chance.

    While that's a good thing to have against Wlad, plus Haye has quick hands, it would be right into the deep end and I think that would be very risky.

    I couldn't say more than 4, at the very most.

    Give him a couple other fights at heavy first, against ranked contenders, and that figure would get bumped right up.

    What styles thing? You think a guy that has no skill or speed and is completely open to a fast puncher like Haye is more of a stylistic problem than a cagey technician that is difficult to hit, is way taller and longer, and punches harder?

    Chagaev can't even get fit to fight, and when he did he was hardly impressive.
