Who will you be rooting for: David Haye or Wladimir Klitschko?

David Haye because he's the underdog.

I'm expecting something along the lines of Bowe vs Hide.

Closing the gap (a touch) a) Haye hits harder than Hide and b) Wlad's chin isn't comparable to Bowe's.

I want this to be a good fight. I want to see Wlad tested. But most of all I would like to find how good a fighter Wlad really is. If Haye fights a good fight, steps in and out, moves well, throws meaningful punches and gets beat by a Klitschko who shows defensive skills, who is able to score repeatedly with a heavy jab on a quick,fearless fighter then we will know that Wlad is for real.

The Ks fight smart. They are big guys. They don't throw a lot of body punches because it brings their head into play. Let's see how Wlad is able to avoid head shots from Haye. If Haye comes to the fight fearless and in excellent shape and still cannot hit Wlad then we know Wlad is an excellent defensive fighter. If Wlad can hit Haye with his jab; if he can jab Haye into submission then we know he has a world class jab and truly deserves to be recognized as a great technician and a quality champion. (NOT ATG)

However if Haye is able to swarm Wlad, confuse him, beat him to the punch, hit him repeatedly, get him out of his game plan then Wlad is exposed a good fighter in a poor era. Haye is no Holyfield (IMHO), if he is able to pick apart Wlad then we know Wlad would not match up well with fighters of earlier eras.

Easily the most rational post I've seen regarding the fight so far. Kudos to a good, objective viewpoint. :thumb1: Neither the nuthuggers of Haye nor Wlad are in the right, with the way they talk so incredibly negatively about the other.

Both men are good for the sport, for different reasons. HW boxing is in a good place regardless of who wins... with the only ones dragging down the division being Valuev, Chagaev and the WBA.

I have to say that's allot of hoops for Haye to jump threw... it makes no sense financially... Vlad will fight very tech slow the match holding making Haye work and when he gets in he will hold. Haye will have to bring the gusto! Throw punches snappinly accurate and make it a grimy rough tumble fight... maybe even some lows to break Wlads focus and some how catch him. I have a sense it will start like Tyson lewis but some how i hope, even tho logic doesn't agree fully that Haye can win. it would be cool to see Haye win then beat his Wlads bro then maybe lose in the rematch... I'm just thinking something that has a big sub story and makes the fights exciting! I wanna lot a **** talk mad allot of buildup! I hope this fights good!

David Haye because he's the underdog.

Why not Wlad because he's the better man?

[The_Visitation]

Why not Wlad because he's the better man?

That remains to be seen.

Why not Wlad because he's the better man?

Haye is a bad man, because he bad mouths Wlad- So what?

Haye is eloquent, funny and charasmatic. In a heavyweight division devoid of personalities he is a welcome addition. Wlad comes across well and is an engaging personality imo, Vitali is a little miserable for my taste, Chris Arreola is a dude. The other top guys are locked out by the language barrier and are pretty under the radar anyway.

I'd like to see Wlad beat him. He's a good guy. For some reason I like Wlad, but not Vitali at all.

[PittyPat]

Why not Wlad because he's the better man?

And everyone is obligated to get behind one single fighter, despite both being talented at what they do?

Peoples' reasoning gets more delusional and irrational on here by the day.

Haye is about as charasmatic as a dead fish. And he has a horrid
personality.
