    Yes, but Wlad has gotten better, while Peter has gotten worse. Not worse skill wise, because there is no where lower to go on the skill scale, but the Peter that first fought Wlad was undefeated. Now, Peter has learned that it's okay to lose.

    That's actually a great point JLH. I see good defense as movement which allows you to avoid punches.

    My point with Wlad is, if he faught Lennox Lewis he'd have horrific defense. He's just very lucky that there are no other fighters right now that can match his size and strength. I think it's incorrect to call what he does defense as much as utlising his size against small opponents.

    But he knows he has the power to hurt Wlad. Wlad also knows this. In the back of his mind he may think if he gets too aggressive he is always liable to get caught.

    I agree that Wlad has impressed, but the doubt has to remain IMO

    It's been nearly 5 years since Wlad has been punched hard in the face. 5 years, idiot. And I didn't realize it was a white/black thing. It makes sense that you're a racist as well as an idiot.

    Interestingly, as weak as Harrison is, he actually has the best chance since he is facing a coward who lacks a chin.

    If you fight small fighters that are almost all very slow, out of shape and unskilled of course you won't get hit. AGAIN, having long arms and being tall is not defense. I bring up race because 95% of the guys who vehemently defend the big chump are white. I saw the dude fight in Manheim a few years back and the entire crowd was white. Not sayin these people hate other races so much as they love their own. Blindy so.

    What do Peter, Fraudley and Briggs have in common? They will all be swinging for the fences in the first couple of rounds because they know after that they are done.

    But someone who packs a punch.

    Also i would say Haye's chin is better than Harrisons

    Harrison has fought, and lost, to cab drivers. He shouldn't even be discussed on professional boxing forums.

    Only fighter I give chance of winning is Harrison.

    Briggs and Peter, they have negligible chance, if you can even call it that.

    Haye can be knocked out, and Harrison, as pathetic as he has been, he has shown occassional flashes of brilliance. This is his last chance to actually win a hw title, and who knows? He may actually finally fight to his potential

    Peter and Briggs on the other hand, they havent a shot in hell.

    Barring some miracle punch that is the hardest punch in history and knocks their respective klitschko brother clean out, they are going to lose and lose badly

    Frankly I would even give them a punchers chance. Wlad and Vitali are on a completely different level, they could halfass the fight and still completely dominate

    Why would they have ssen him fight? Harrison is a UK-based fighter who has never faced a boxer ranked in the top 30.

    Ok, vitali...chance as he gets older, more chance for injury.....however...briggs is so out of shape and easly winded..he wont be able to push vitali past a few rounds...so chance of a fight injury is slimest. Wlad could get KO"ed...peter definitly has the power to do it if he connects right...and given Wlads chin, its not impossible. But his defense and offense keeps getting better, and i see peter as only having a fair chance to get a knockdown..and very little chance for a KO. Haye on the other hand has shown a shakey chin and cruiser..and he could and still can be hit. Harrison, while not a great fighter, with his reach, is definitly likely to land..if he lands..he stands a fair chance to get a KO. I would say all the champs are big favorits to defend their titles..but Haye is most likely to lose.

    Both Ray Austin and Tony Thompson are about Wlad's height. I suggest you rewatch those fights and get back to us. :D

    Because they've heard rumors that he can punch and they're pissed at Haye. In reality, Haye is several levels above Harrison as a fighter. He should win by early Ko.
