As much as a hate to fall in with the general consesus, David Haye has outstanding speed and lethal power, and the fact that he used to be a cruiserweight is immaterial in my mind, because this guy has already grown into a legit heavyweight.
David Haye has nothing at heavyweight. His accomplishments at cruiser mean absolutely nothing in this weight class.
I think it's possible some of them could beat Vitali, just because he's getting old, but I don't think any of the current heavyweights can beat Wlad, which I hate to say but it's true.
Haye is not that great in fact his performance against Monte Barrett didn't really impress me but he still has some power and speed which is a rare combination in today's heavyweight scene so I would give him a chance against a Klitschko even if I'd consider him the underdog.
The best chances in order of probability: a) Age. b) Injury. c) Haye (NOT for his "power", but for the athletic ability to perhaps win a decision) d) Peter at a GOOD weight, best would be the 237lb version you see in his early fights on youtube - THIS man for his power e) Boytsov in a year or two, vs. the fading versions, for the mix of textbook boxing, strength, workrate and youth
The Klitschko's are dominating the HW division right now and its staying that way until they start slipping or retire.
I don't think the David Haye who beat Barrett would beat the Eddie Chambers who beat Dimitrenko. Yes, Haye has speed and power, great athletic talent. He is also a very sloppy fighter who doesn't fight regularly enough to smooth out his mistakes. His ring intelligence seems non - existing. Haye and Chambers are the same age and Eddie has what, 12, 13 pro fights more than Haye? Haye is not some bionic man who can win against top 5 HW's just with talent.
This is a poorly constructed poll. There are two different Klitschkos, with different strengths and weaknesses. Is there one man who I would favor to beat both of them... not really. Like Valuev might be able to beat Wlad, but not Vitali. I guess Haye would stand the best chance of beating them both.
Eddie can beat Vitali, but I don't know about Wlad. But Eddie shouldn't fight Vitali yet, he should fight the best heavyweight, which is Wlad, and they will next year, or maybe this year.
lol@****in eddie chambers that guy wouldnt get close to either klitschko poll wise i went with nobody though i give any big puncher with some speed a chance against wlad. no1 can beat vitali
I wouldn't favor anyone over them, but of that list, Haye has the best chance. I think Chambers, if he keeps improving, might do okay against an aging Vitali Klitschko. However, if VK somehow ages well, then he's toast.
I would say that Brewster or Peter have the best shots. Either one of these human TANKS in good form would leave Haye in a bleeding mess on the floor.
