    you think wlad is better? Vitali has an iron chin. I remember when wlad waa out of breath and getting beaten by lesser fighters.

    Vitali never had this issue. You can, make a case he has never really lost a fight. Yes I do think the lewis fight should have been stopped, but there is a reason lewis retired.

    Vitali was better than Wlad before his injury and retirement -- now I think they are about the same. If Vitali hadn't had the layoff there would be no comparison -- Wlad would be the clear #2.

    Haye can't outbox either of the Klits, but he can out slug them easily. He has faster hands and probably a stronger punch. It's going to be a hell of a fight. I actually had a dream that Haye lost though. I'm picking Haye by TKO by the 9th round.

    Absolutely.Wlad is a better puncher and has a better jab. You're thinking of his fight with Brewster and I agree. His cardio is questionable.

    Vitali is overrated as a puncher and a step slow now imo.

    I was at the Haye vs. Valuev fight. The Haye fans are something else...typical drunk British hooligans. Valuev is a very bad boxer, yet, Haye was having a difficult time for a long time. I really hope Klitschko wins.

    It would be worse than a Williams sisters tennis match.

    Haye is too scared to come out.

    It's one thing to make your opponent wait in the ring and another to delay the first intro.
