Given the fact that it's all about the money, I guess Vitali v Haye would generate more cash than Vitali versus anyone else.

Bunce-'David could beat him (Vitali), I'm now very confident the fight will happen'

"Klitschko looked slower than ever, more cautious than ever, and there was a disturbing moment when, under no pressure, he fell over like he'd been hit by a bullet from a sniper's gun. That's called your body giving up in any language.

His neck, shoulders and back seemed to be hurting him, and that's understandable - he is 40 now - but it made him appear seriously slow.

I saw things in Vitali that made me think David could beat him, and I'm now very confident the fight will happen. The fantastic veteran looked lumbering - he was dragging his right leg along at a funny angle, and couldn't turn it to produce any power. All the power he had was coming from his arms - and yeah, that's plenty, but he never once pivoted and turned on his right foot, which suggests a knee or ankle problem.

There are several ways Haye can beat Vitali (and trust me, it's not easy to beat Vitali): cut him, run and outpoint him - or hope that his body gives in, he falls over and twists his ankle.

And don't worry about whether Haye can handle Vitali's power - there's a whole list of people who Wladimir has knocked cold, and Haye took his best punches.

He may be shocked how tall he is, how powerful, but he'll never be shocked by how slow he is. It really is the speed heavyweight fight.

A promoter like Don King will have seen the signs and, if they had Haye, they would be putting the fight to bed, trust me.

If I was Haye, I'd jump all over it. Now."

Haye will get destroyed.

Haye against Wlad was not that bad. He hurt him a couple of times, maybe this time he will be able to judge the distance better to get nearer the klitschko's. I suspect he is good enough to improve upon his last performance.


Got to be more interesting than Klitscko vs Mormec

I assume you think Wlad was hurt in the 12th, but when were the other moments? When answering, keep in mind that landing a good punch that gets a certain commentator excited doesn't equate to hurting an opponent. I cannot recall multiple occasions where Wlad staggered, desperately held, or evinced any sign of significant discomfort

In an interview with German newspaper “Die Welt” former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye dared WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko to fight him.


“I’ll knock him out, I’ll smash his chin if he holds it out like he did again Adamek,” said Haye.
