    Mormeck had Haye doing the harlem shuffle! Wlad would knock him out cold.

    Is this the "12 times on the deck, mostly from bums" WALD we're talking about here?

    Any man that has power has a chance against WALD, and you know it. Haye has great skills too. As a WALD fan you should embrace the fight if it happens, if WALD comes through it it's most likely a great scalp - providing Haye wins on Saturday. Put it this way, Tyson lost to the former Cruiserweight great Holyfield....beating Haye convincingly would make WALD look a lot better than pawing his way to victory against Sultan did.

    I think Haye could go staright for a title shot. There is president to give a champion in lower weight classes a straight shot at a title if they move up.

    I think Haye will give Wlad a better fight than many of the current crop of heavyweight contenders. Haye would be quick and he has decent reflexes. That being said, I think Klitschko is too big, and has too much power.

    Wlad would win.

    Lets hope WALD feels the same. I know I'm a WALD hatter but lets face it there's **** all competition in the HW division at the moment, truly the most awful it's been for years even though the WALD fans won't admit it.

    If Haye wins on Saturday then he'll be what, the WBA, IBF and WBO Cruiserweight champion or something? Surely a better scalp than Chagaev or Maskaev or Ibragimov?

    However I'll state right now that I'd expect Haye to take 2-3 warm up fights at heavy before facing WALD, if that happens he shouldn't be criticised.

    Of course not. He should def. fight a couple of top 10-20 ranked guys first if only to broaden the interest.

    Wlad will probably beat Iggy, but if Iggy catches him it could put him into a panic attack.
    Wlad will probably beat Peter, but if Peter catches him it could put him into a panic attack.
    Wlad will most probably beat Byrd, but if the bulked up with new muscle Byrd catches him it could put him into a panic attack.
    Wlad will probably beat Brock, but if he catches him with a ZuriLawrenceCrushingLeftHook it could put him into a panic attack
    Wlad will probably beat Austin, but if he catches him with a shot he caught Iggy with it could put him into a panic attack.

    Yes, the same people claim any boxer would easily beat Vlad. However, during the 1996 olympics, where were they? The same ones claimed Austin would beat Vlad because Austin was 6'6" tall, but Vlad stopped him in the 2nd, same claims vs. Brock, Byrd, Ibragimov, etc, the biased haters will always pick all of Vlad's opponents to win, including Teddy Atlas.

    No one is beating Wlad for quite sometime. It's just haters. He's too good a technician ad his jab is a powerful thing of beauty. His chin isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. If Brewster, Peter or Sanders lands flush on any HW like they did Wlad, that HW is going down. All three are huge punchers. It's ******ed to call his chin china, based on getting dropped by big punchers. You can say his defense might be suspect, but all of those guys (add Williamson, another big hitter to the mix) have fight ending power in both hands.

    I think Haye would benefit from a few fights before challenging Wlad - but I would back him to take out any of the other heavies around the world.

    Like it or not, Wlad is the top heavy in the world at the moment, would Haye be able to get behind the wonderful jab that Wlad has?

    If he did, I would back Haye to take him out.

    Then again, what will Haye's chin be like at the higher weight? We have seen Miguel Cotto's chin improve at the higher weight, maybe David will follow suit?

    85-15 in favour of wlad me thinks.

    although haye looked to have highly impressive speed at HW when he faced bonin and has good reflexes. mix that in with his immense power and good offensive arsenal and he'll always be a threat in the division. wlad would most likely splatter him but haye has one punch power and can change a fight in the blink of an eye.

    Brewster caught him but he was totally dominated in the rematch, Sam Peter was able to score a KD but was dominated, Ibragimov has good chin and power and speed couldnt do ****. Unless Haye punches much harder than Brewster and Peter or Sanders he wont be able to do anything to Wlad. Bare in mind that Haye def doesnt have the chin of Brewster or Peter.

    pre mccline peter would most likely demolish haye. but the sluggsh, overweight, weak and wobbly peter that got in the ring with sicknote mccline could be given fits by the speed and power of haye.
