Sanders................. LOL

IMO Sanders in his prime probably beats Haye. He's a 90's heavyweight.

Sanders was passed prime when he fought vitali ... and wlad too for that matter

He still had a murderous punch and was highly competitive when he fought them.

A past prime average HW beat Wlad and gave Vitali problems, speaks volumes about how good they are doesn't it? LOL

So if Haye actually beat Vitali, does he get credit??? Though Vitali is past his prime completely, I think Haye should get his dues.

it shouldn't, he's fighting a guy (although the 2nd best in that devision) is 41 years old (past his prime) and is prone to recurring shoulder injuries.

BUT a win against Vitali should open the opportunity for a rematch against Wladimir Klitschko.


On the other hand, a win against Haye (especially a stoppage win) would do wonders for his legacy.

Are you trying to say he didn't hurt Vitali?

Vitali is a great champion and a great role model. I don't understand the hate on him and also the hate on Corrie Sanders from Klit Fans. Corrie Sanders was never motivated, he was a part time golfer and never viewed boxing as anything more then a hobby. He shocked Wladimir and for 2 rounds gave Vitali all that VK could handle before the fact that Sanders trained at Mickey D's caught up with him.
Sanders is massively underrated. He's no bum.
Vitali h2h is a top 5 HW of all times, it's not his fault this era is complete dog**** and his career defining moment was against a past prime old Lennox Lewis.
Lewis should have given him a rematch but that has been debated over and over and is a moot point. The issue with that is even if VK had beaten Lewis in the rematch, a 38 year old Lewis after so many wars and years of activity at the highest level does not become a 'great win' for VK, it just become a 'good win'
Vitali's retirement really hurt him, because those were the times he could have collected a few more scraps to his resume. Overall though, Wladimir is an ATG and Vitali is a sure fire Hall of Famer.
Vitali always brought it whenever he fought and other then the Chris Byrd incident, never once showed a lack of heart. I hope he does go on to fight David Haye and secure the career defining moment that he deserves.

People saying because wladimir beat haye that Vitali will as well Lets get real Vitali's hand speed and foot movement are VERY slow everything he does is telegraphed But he gets away with this because of the opponents hes fighting are **** for want of a better word.

Wladimir is a massively different fighter and is a lot quicker both in hand speed and foot movement and is technically the much better all around fighter.

Haye's style would be perfect against vitali it just Fits the speed the movement and reactions to punches from vitali would undo vitali and he will gas from throwing shots that are hitting thin air haye was doing a good job slipping wladimirs jabs a lot of the time the best jab in the world of boxing vitali would be no problem

I honestly feel that a large amount of the hate and dislike aimed towards the Kbros on the various boxing sites is not because of them or their style. It's because a certain section of the K2 Fanbase are rabid moronic racist blinded fools that make the rest of K2's fanbase look bad.
K2 have always carried themselves with great dignity and in an era of fat roller pigs and farm animal fighters, an era where the top 10 HW'S can not stop eating themselves into a early death, both Kbros are ALWAYS in shape and always prepared.
