    Yes, Yes, No.

    Haye is for sure more agile, faster than Briggs, but that wont help him. Its fair to say that he will be a tougher opponent than Briggs, however, he cant just close the distance, because Vitali has the reach and the jab and the hand speed as well to keep Haye at bay. Also, if Vitali connects on Haye like he did against Briggs, Haye wont make it past the 6th round...

    Even if Haye could ko Briggs in the first round it means nothing. Even so you cant tell that Haye is better than Klitschko.
    Only a direct confrontation between Vitali and Haye can tell us who is better.

    Hope it happens in 2011.

    Klitschko wants the fight badly. Haye is ducking. Hope that he grows some balls and takes the risk in order to entertain us with a good fight not with his bad mouth and shows.

    In my opinion Vitali looked good, even if Briggs being terrible helped that or not.

    Anybody thinking Haye has a "good chance" against either Klitschko is clearly smoking something. Fair enough he has a puncher's chance against Wladimir but that's it, either Klitschko will drag Haye into their fight, dictate the pace of the fight and what happens

    Briggs looked really bad, rare offence, non existant defence -Could be one of Vits worst opponents - no One has ever give him so many free undefended punches.
    Vitali didnt really tire [although it was more a workout on a heavy bag] and I think he will comfortably KO Haye - but If I think it Haye will too and the fight aint gonna happen.

    For what its worth, Briggs' tactics may have worked better against Vlad ie tire your oppenent by letting him hit you as much as they want then go for a lucky punch

    Haye does not hit as hard of Briggs and has a shaky chin. He has no chance. Vitali is pretty hard to hit cleanly. He might get credit for that one day....

    Haye certainly would have a decent enough chance against an aging, grey-haired 39 year old Vitali. The problem is he doesn't want to get in the ring, at least not before Vitali hits the 40 year mark. Hilarious.
