    two HUGE showdowns and only one British fighter could win, which would you choose

    Hatton KO pacquiao or Haye KO Wlad?

    which is better for boxing (british)?
    which result would give you more pleasure?
    which result would be more of a shock?

    Haye

    I wish Hatton luck but I won't be too fussed if Pac beats him. I'd love to see Pac-JMM III or Pac-Floyd.

    I want both to win, but I would want Haye to win more so than Hatton.

    Which is better for boxing:

    Not sure, Hatton wins, more boxing exposure to the general public and a mega fight against Marquez. Haye wins, massive fight against one of the Klits in London.

    Hatton loses he retires before maybe one more fight, although he is only having two more max after the pacquiao fight. Haye loses, he builds himself up again for another shot at one of the Klits, will have more fights than Hatton will in the remainder of his career.

    More pleasure:

    David Haye - my fave fighter at the moment, would love to see him upset the odds and shut a few people up in the general forum (although this will be done if Hatton wins as well).

    More of a shock:

    Haye again. He is very much the underdog, where he is fighting the much bigger man, whilst Hatton is fighting someone unproven over 135 (De La Hoya was just a punching bag), although it would still be a shock if Hatton won.

    Plus I like Pacquiao more than Klitchko

    Much prefer Haye to do the business. Hatton has been talking **** for the last few years and would love to see him and papa Ray fall flat on their arses.

    No shitty Lazcanos fights for Haye.

    Haye. Just imagine what a exciting, in shape, confident, balls of steel possesing heavyweight champion of the world would do for British boxing. The bottom line is brits who don't following boxing would get behind a haye reign as champ in a huge way.

    Without a doubt it has to be Haye. A stunning KO victory over Wladimir would send shockwaves through boxing, whereas a Hatton win would be applauded but put down primarily to Pacman being too far above his optimum weight. Haye is a massive underdog, and rightfully so, but if he can suppress Klitschkos negative tactics and also take a shot or two (big ask), he definitely has the speed and pop to 'slay' the giant.

    Haye. Wicky's had some good moments in the sun already and is nearing the end of his career, where as Haye is just starting out as a HW and has further to go.
