    I still think any version of Wlad is bad for any version of Mercer. His style is very basic, not very fast & Wladimir hits a heckuva lot harder than Tommy Morrison. Lewis only had trouble because he had a tendency to brawl with a brawler. In fact Lennox had the tools to beat Mercer from the outside but was drawn into a slugging match.

    The Haye fans are going to be singing a different tune when that Glass Jaw shatters all over the ring.

    Then they will go back to saying:

    "Haye was a Cruiserweight"

    "Haye was too small"

    "Haye has a Glass Jaw"

    etc.

    Lewis is a little better, but both guys are the clear #1 man in their primes.

    My point it those where sour about Lewis not getting respect until he was near retirement, should have some understanding about the next top dog in line waiting for his.

    BTW, Wlad 1-0 vs Rhaman, Lewis 1-1 vs Rhaman.

    Lewis hits a heck of a lot harder than Morrison too, and a heck of a lot harder than WALDO in my humble opinion. Means nothing when you consider how hard a head a prime Mercer had. Lewis wasn't 'drawn' into a slugging match, he won the fight in the manner he wanted to and made it entertaining in the process - he also proved a point to all the Americans that said he had a glass jaw, that was the point :yep

    Please feel free to explain why it is relevent that WALDO gave 40 year old Mercer the worst beating of his career?

    Bear in mind that Haye beat 37 year old Barrett quicker than WALDO beat him years before, then we can talk about 'relevence' in proper terms. I'm not the one claiming that it means anything here, you are.

    WALD is 0-1 against both Sanders and Purrity, both guys that Lewis didn't even consider worthy to fight him :hi:

    VITLAY is 0-1 against Lewis, and always will be, and he's got the permanent scars to prove it :hi:

    Lewis also had stiffer competition in his prime.Oh and they fought different versions of Rahman,not sure what your trying to prove there.
    How about Lewis 1-0 Klitschko?

    VITLAY won the 'event' apparently :nut

    Also Mendoza thinks VITLAY is the better Klitschko (as do I) so **** knows what kind of damage an old, overweight and undermotivated Lewis would have inflicted on WALDO.

    I'm hoping Haye wins it. Logic tells me one big punch from Wladimir ends it all, but I hope Haye can shock the world.

    I want to see a good fight, thats all. I think Wlad might just be a little too big and skilled for Haye.... I will be looking to see how haye holds up against that first straight right that lands
