Does anybody see a Haye v Klitschko fight being entertaining?

I see David employing the same tactics as he did against Valuev. I don`t really see why people are talking about this match-up as if there is gonna be fireworks :(

i never saw that fight, just heard Haye nearly put him away late on.

you're quite right to point it out tho it's got boring written all over it, Klitschko gets spooked by his own shadow. Can you blame either fighter tho for being cautious given the power each possesses and the massive financial difference between a W and an L means??

Haye certainly did wobble the giant .. though I have heard some claim it was more the fact that he bored Valuev to sleep with his running around the ring for 2mins 57seconds of each of the previous 11rnds

As Freddie Roach said recently about Clottey shutting up shop against Manny Pacman .. it is a world title fight and the guys should fight accordingly..

W-Klitschko is a nervous type fighter for sure. But from what little I seen of the Chambers fight Wlad was the one forcing the action ... just take a look at the Haye v Valuev contest to see what forcing haye did... ;;-)

This fight will be a stinker for sure .. infact Haye against any of the big heavies will be a stinker.

I've seen very little of John Ruiz' career, but I think Haye will struggle to put this guy away personally. Possibly another Fragomeni type fight only the guy is bigger so in theory harder to shift, Haye to win on points after maybe undergoing some rocky moments of his own.

The crowd could drive Haye on as they'll go ballistic for him. However the "away from home" mentality could bring out the animal in Ruiz he may go for the upset himself. T'will be interesting (I hope)......seriously thinking about making a weekend of it with the Mrs, just a bit dubious about taking her there as the MEN wasn't short on pissed up nob-heads last time I was there for Barrera- Khan.

i didn't think wlad's finish was so great. the boxing was very good. but he had to be begged to finish his smaller opponent, an opponent who was severely outgunned, and probably heartbroken for much of the contest.

wlad actually is so precise and so correct, that when he comes forward to finish, he looks uncomfortable. the last punch wasn't so good. it was just a heavy shot and chambers couldn't take them any more.

wlad can dominate master boxing natural cruiserweights, all right. he is better at it than vitali, who isn't as polished and who could injure his shoulders perhaps vs tricky dicky foes. but vitali is better at dealing with the physical threats (sanders, peter - vitali's performances much better than wlad's - and also arreola) because he has more stomach for combat, better combos, better chin and lighter on his feet than wlad.
