I picked Wlad by decision and I'll tell you for why:
W Klit could very well knock Haye out but to do so he would need to take risks. We've seen against Ibragimov that he is risk averse and if he isn't willing to go all out to KO Sultan he's certainly not going to do it against someone with such a monster puncher reputation as Haye. Either man has the ability and the power to knock the other out so neither scenario is completely far-fetched, it would only take one mistake and one opportunity for the knockout punch to land. But more likely Wlad won't make a mistake because he won't take any chances and he'll paw and jab his way to victory.
What I don't get is this notion of Haye being a "little" heavyweight. He's 6'4, has fought at 217 lb and is likely to campaign at a weight of close to 230. If you look at The Ring's top ten greatest heavyweights in history he's taller and heavier than most of them.
1. Muhammad Ali
2. Joe Louis
3. Evander Holyfield
4. George Foreman
5. Larry Holmes
6. Rocky Marciano
7. Sonny Liston
8. Joe Frazier
9. Jack Johnson
10. Jack Dempsey
He wouldn't even represent one of the smallest heavyweights fighting today! He'd be about average now and bigger once he fills out.Comment

I'm going with Klitschko by KO at this point.
Haye has the potential to be a good HW, he should take a couple of easier fights to get adjusted before getting in the ring with Wlad.Comment

Wlad will most likely quit or get knocked down 5 times in a round and get stopped.
I pick Haye to beat him. I think Haye is much faster and is the better boxer. All Wlad has is size and a reasonable jab. I think Haye will surprise a lot of people, especially the ones who know nothing about his career and havent seen any of his fights but pick Wlad anyway.Comment
