    Is Wladimir Klitschko vs David Haye the biggest HW fight since Lennox Lewis vs Vitali Klitschko?

    I seem to think so. Former Undisputed Cruiserweight Champion vs Unified Heavyweight Champion. I am excited for this one folks.

    I think the real question is, should this fight happen in Germany or should Wlad KO Haye in front of his home crowd?

    the answer is yes.

    but IMO Klitschko vs Gomez has more quality than Wlad vs Haye as Vitali is better than Wald and Gomez better than Haye (at HW)

    It is the biggest since Lewis - Vitali. Maybe even more important in some ways.

    Haye's never even fought a top 15 HW. How can this be the biggest HW fight since Lewis v Vitali? Vitali v Peter was a bigger fight. If Haye gets KTFO early, everyone who's backed him will crawl back into the woodwork and never mention his name again.

    its a huge fight in terms of popularity of the fighters. Vitali wasn't very known before the Lewis fight. However Lewis was extremely known.

    absolutely, Vitali-Lennox wasn't popular until after it happened. there's time to hype this one up!

    Good point,,, but Wlad vs Haye is more exciting because it's almost certaint that somebody is getting KTFO.

    And if that somebody is Wlad, we got a brand new super-star in the HW division! :happy ... at least until big brother shuts him down. :dead

    nah man, you have to admit that vlad has become a bigger and bigger name, while haye and his promoters have made him the talk of the hw division.

    it is the biggest since lewis tyson (for pre-fight hype anyway).
