    so Haye wins makes a splash, but won't be champion for long and would probabily lose it in his first defence in a shite division besides the klits

    Hatton wins and due to his profile the sport gets massive pub and he has a list of great opponents to face in a stacked division

    I want Haye to win

    I want Hatton to lose

    Pherhaps I being a bit bitter wishing Hatton defeat - if he can win then credit to him but then we will have to endure all this pound for pound bollocks.

    Haye isn't anywhere so near embedded, popularity wise, in English sport/culture yet - so it's easier for some of our British cousins to choose him.;)

    I want them both to win, but if I had to choose - I'd say Hatton - as he's already had a loss to Floyd. Hopefully he can get something out of taking the risks rather than choosing the easier route that would have seen him retire undefeated.

    I feel Haye would fight another day, if he lost, I'm don't think Hatton would. Therefore I'd perhaps choose Hatton. It is a tough question though, I want them both to win.

    I want to see both win but I'd prefer to see Haye because I think the heayweight division desperatley needs it to liven things up.

    Haye.

    Much more significance. Much better for boxing.

    Though I want both to win more than anything.

    I hope Hatton wins, but I'm not particularly a fan.

    I'm a borderline fan of Haye, so the answer is Haye by default.

    The Haye result would be better for British boxing. Becoming heavyweight champ is the pinnacle of the sport, it would take Haye a step towards that. It could be big in bringing the limelight back to boxing.

    I'd prefer if Haye won as I think the guys okay, Hatton I don't enjoy one little bit.

    I don't think either would be an epic shock, but I personally would be more surprised if Hatton won. In the Haye fight you are talking about a guy with explosive speed and power against a shakey chinned opponent, the reverse is also true so I don't think anything would be surprising.

    Haye winning would be better for boxing. The HW division is still the gold standerd division in terms of public interest.

    Haye winning would give me more pleasure, mostly because the subtext is the loud mouth black British upstart KO's the quasi-German favourite to become the heavyweight champion of the world.

    Hatton beating Pac would shock me more, because Pac is a lot better than Wladimir.

    Hatton is just taking a money fight.

    He is not going to be the best pound for pound in the World even if he wins.

    He fought the best pound for pound and they had to scrape him up off the floor even though Mayweather was just a average puncher at world level.

    Even though Mayweather has retired.

    I still consider the likes of Bernard Hopkins a more accomlishped pound for pound fighter than Hatton and I think hatton is living in a dream land thinking he can attain a status that very few fighters do.

    Hatton is world class - but he has never had that "special" edge to him

    Even Calzaghe had that extra edge - but not Hatton

    He is not pound for pound the best - and never will be

    The guy is full of ****

    Depends, if Haye is just going to go and get beat in the rematches ten Hatton, if Haye wins all 3 then Haye.

    Course I'll take both :p
