    I understand. A win over either Klitschko brother shakes up the division a hell of a lot and sets up some very intriguing fights. Since Vitali and Wladimir refuse to fight each other, only someone beating either one would make the heavyweight division very interesting for the next few years.

    Couldn't agree more Link! Be prepared to be treated to Haye-Ruiz followed by Haye-Valuev II and possibly Haye-Ruiz II before there is even a realistic mention of Haye-Klitschko again. If anyone needs to be liberated of their HW title, it's Don King!

    I don't deny the Klits talent or that they are two of the classiest Boxers of all time but I understand that their lack of charisma is not what the heayweight division needs. You have to realize that David Haye who I admit I am a big fan of has become the face of the division after only one big fight Why? Because he is marketable. The Klits are not. Johnson can be marketable. I will never deny the Klits talent but their drawing power at least in the United States I question and Kevin Johnson would be a bigger draw.

    We'll see how marketable he is after being mired in the WBA/Don King HW round-robin for the next 3 years. He has made some waves by being a loud mouthed moron (you call it charisma), but boxing fans will quickly grow weary of that after a few stink-fests with Ruiz and Valuev. Then we'll once again be hearing the same rumblings about the sad state of the HW division all while the Klitschkos continue to fight everyone that's put in front of them.

    lol No charisma = euphemism for "are not black"

    David Haye and other **** talking morons is what passes for 'charisma' in alot of Americans eyes. You're used to believing people by what they say, not by their actions. Judging a person on their merit is something foreign to you evidently.

    That plus 30 + years of your media claiming that blacks are more athletic. You need black Americans to win so your world can once again make sense to you.

    Sorry but you fail to live in the real world. Judge people on what they actually accomplish, not by Floyd type **** talk "i'm the greatest fighter to ever live" hey, he said it, it must be true. And secondly your negro worship needs to stop. Your society lied to you, get over it.

    Watch Vlad's interview on Conan and tell me he doesn't have charisma. Or his apperance on that custom car reality show. If your media gave him a chance i think you'd be suprised by both. I mean doing a 24/7 countdown on a heavyweight champion, what a stupid idea.

    I've seen a few Johnson fights and he looks slower and more boring than Vitali. I don't know exactly what he would be saving from, but I'm not impressed.

    Kevin Johnson is basically a less talented version of Kirk Johnson without as good footwork and no power.

    Lack of charisma is entirely a subjective opinion. Articulate, educated people with class have their kind of charisma, low - level trash talkers like Haye with his comments on an opponent's body hair have a different type of charisma. Wich one you like would probably depend on your level of education and character.

    Wlad sold 60 00 tickets on Schalke, not Haye. Vitali - Arreola was a huge success. Haye is perceived by many as the clown or the diva of the HW division, not the "face" of it.
