Sadly I think Haye has may have bitten off a bit more than he can chew in this one

Should be a great fight though

I like David Haye but I think he'll get destroyed by Klitschko, too early in his heavywieght career to be up against someone like him IMO.

Yep respect to Haye for taking this fight but I fear he is going to get demolished. Lewis couldn't KO Vitali so I don't see how Haye is going to, plus Vitali is massive and hits much, much harder than anyone Haye has fought before.

I respect Haye for his balls, but I can't help thinking he's foolish taking this fight so early and with no warm up fight.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think Haye is going to get smashed.

Lewis in that fight, was in the worst shape of his career! Overweight and approaching 40!

Thats how awful the Klitschko brothers are! The naughties will surely be remembered as the worst period in heavyweight boxing history!

Haye is going to be much more hungry for this fight, and i think he will be too quick, and will win by TKO!

Odd...Gomez is Vitali's mandatory fight so I'm not sure how he got out of that one!

Anyway, I think Haye has a punchers chance.

[Logie]

If Haye can work on getting past the jab and keep is head moving, he can win. The Klit brothers never throw body punches either its jab, jab........... jab, cross.

Name me a fight when someone has gone and attacked the brothers? Never, they just stand and get jabbed to death.

[hornetrider]

Never rated Klitchsko. But, he is huge.

Fair play to the Haymaker for taking on the fight. I'd love to think he could win, but if Vitali connects with a couple of big ones he could just go over surely.

In London so Haye should have the support. The Ukranian is so robotic, he's almost a caricature of the Russian in the Rocky film.

Haye's the better mover/boxer so provided he stays clear of any sucker punches I don't see why he can't win.

[JLJ]

The problem is, Vitali doesn't mind having a scrap (unlike Wlad) and that means Haye will have to take a few off Vitali and I really don't see Haye being able to take those heavy shots. I still say Haye beats Wlad but not Vitali and I'd say the Klits are aware of that.

I really really want to be wrong about this.

Haye should realise that there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity, and taking this fight so early falls into the latter category.

Here is my prediction.
