    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]October 11 marks the return of Vitali Klitschko and with it returned interest in the heavyweight division. Although Haye takes alot of credit for that as well.

    Peter vs Vitali must be picked up by setanta. Its the most interesting HW fight in some time.

    Also Tarver vs Dawson is on later that evening. But maybe thats pushing it:D.

    the difference is Vitali is a former NO 1 heavyweight of the division

    and he was not knocked off his throne

    he walked away from his throne

    so you could say this is a return of THE MAIN MAN at heavyweights

    I certainly regard him as such - but we just have to wait and see if he is the same force now.

    on the other hand Haye as a heayweight? - 1 fight - a 1st round KO

    but thats it

    Haye has it all to prove at heavyweight

    its all hype at the moment

    the 1st round KO of Bonin was a impressive display of Hayes power - but we dont know how he will cope in a real fight against a real world class heavyweight

    Vitali would KO him I think

    Wladmir might too

    who knows

    at the moment Haye is just hype at heavyweight

    he is the NO 1 Crusierweight - THE MAN - but heavyweights are bigger fish

    Vitali will beat him senseless. Peter might well last 12, but only because Vitali will not be at peak sharpness and his timing may be off.

    I agree Vitali was by far the number 1 heavyweight when injury forced him into retirement. I have always rated him very highly.

    As for Haye, I was merely stating hes also attracting some renewed interest into the heavyweight division. Hes proved nothing yet.

    Anyway I hope the fight on Oct 11 is televised over here.

    Hi Bunce,

    I've been sending countless messages to Setanta to find out if they'll be updating their schedule anytime soon. Also which fights they are working towards getting. No answer yet.


    Can you give us an insight at all please? Cos at the moment each fight is near enough a pay per view, being that they show one a month.

    Thanks.

    I'd be interested too. A fight I'm really anxious to see is Casamayor-Marquez but there's been no indication that this will be on TV here.

    Dont worry get a cheapo satellite system (usually £65) from Lidl or one of those german cheapo supermarkets next time they are on offer and you can get all these fights plus most the big cards from USA for free.
