    Easily Vitali's is more difficult.

    Gomez is a tougher fight for the big man. Gomez can be elusive...he has skills. He might give Vitali some stylistic problems.

    Haye is going to be much easier than everyone anticipates. It will prove to be Wlad's "Tyson-Lewis" match-up. A one-sided beatdown that no one will see coming.

    I think Gomez is better than Haye is now. Haye is hyped like a Rocky movie, the trouble is we all know Balboa had a great chin. Haye does not.

    I think Gomez is the harder defense since he's a better boxer than Haye.

    I think too many on this site have seen Haye fight once and think they know somethng about him.

    Haye will spark Wlad in 3 rounds and then move onto the bigger brother (and probably get sparked himself) who i think will KO Gomez in 2.

    Speed kills and Haye uses angles that haven't been seen in the division since a young Tyson

    no matter how much you hate haye, he is dangerous to any heavyweight if you get rid of the chin argument

    gomez is an extreamly good boxer, with alot great tools in his arsenal

    but haye is the harder defence

    Well Haye has a Glass Jaw even at Cruiserweight and I am not impressed with Gomez at all. I guess it comes down to who you think would win between Gomez and Haye. I would probably go with Gomez I guess.

    If Haye had such a glass jaw at cw how the f*ck did he unify the division... surely that hook to the temple by the big punching Mormeck should have broke him if it was the case?

    I actually think Gomez is the harder fight.

    Of course, Wlad is going to have to be wary of Haye's power, but he also has the skills/reach/power to stop Haye as easily as he can be stopped.

    I have a feeling Vitali is going to overlook Gomez and maybe even lose. Gomez doesn't have as bad a chin as that K.O loss will have you believe...I'm still not sure how he lost that fight to be honest, maybe he just got caught cold.

    Gomez is in good shape again, has respectable power, very good boxing skills and comes to fight.

    He will give Vitali a better fight than Sam Peter; this, for me, will be the test to see whether Vitali is really back in his old form, rather than him beating up a walking punchbag.

    Anyone else think it's strange both brothers are fighting former CW champs? Not saying they're 'ducking' the 'genuine' HW's, just that it's a strange coincidence.

    He beat Mormeck and Maccarenelli who is a British level fighter. He did not fight Cunningham.

    Mormeck had already been KOed by O'Neil Bell years before.

    Haye has a Glass Jaw and it is going to be shattered all over the Ring by either Klitschko.

    You really are a dick. Cunningham...:lol: Calling Maccarinelli British level is absolutely pathetic, much like every post you ever make on boxing with your childish "glass chin" obsession.

    Hearns, Patterson all **** fighters right who did nothing in the sport? I pick Wlad to KO Haye, but to dismiss someone who won the Ring Belt and has achieved what Haye has and then to call Mac British level is truly ignorant beyond belief.

    See now you're just being very short sighted.

    Mormeck avenged that loss to Bell who was labelled 'the man' at CW. Haye then went on to box a smart fight and get up off the floor to VISCIOUSLY knock Mormeck out in his own back yard in just his 20th fight.

    Enzo Macaranelli who you class as a 'British Level' fighter was ranked No 2 in the division by the Ring magazine, as well as Boxrec and many other organisations. And to even bring that Domestic level at best who has never fought anybody and not looked great doing it Steve Cunningham into the debate is just sheer comedy

    Haye because he'll come to fight.

    Gomez is more talented, but he's lazy. I don't see him being all that motivated in honesty.

    Haye on the other hand will be well up for it.

    Maccarinelli sucks. He is a British level fighter. Who has he beat? His best win is Wayne Braithwaite who like Maccarinelli has a Glass Jaw.
