He is a smart tactical boxer who could overwhelm Haye with his superior skill and if he kept him at a distance, Haye would be outboxed and succumb to Wlad power in the later rounds. If Haye swarmed Wlad and got him off balance early though, he could score a kayo. Vitali is a different story though, no where near as flashy as Wlad and definitely more of a granite chinned brawler. Vitali vs Haye would have potential to be a great fight and probably would make people more interested in the heavy weight scene as it has gone stagnant. Not all of that blame should go on Haye's shoulders though as both Vitali and Wlad fought questionable opponents in their last title defenses. I would like to see them fight eachother or someone decidedly more challenging. There should be one or two guys in the top ten worthy of a title shot. I could think of a few.

You know Peter was still in most top ten lists when Wlad fought him for the second time? As were Chambers and Chagaev (possibly top 5). He hasn't fought a poor opponent by today's heavyweight standards in a while....
