    I don't see any real comparison, unless is this another anti Brit thread.
    I'm British and it certainly isn't an anti-brit thread.

    The comparision is that both are viewed by many as overhyped fighters and I was giving my take on Haye and why I don't see him as just an overhyped fighter (which he is, to a certain extent) with a glass jaw and little prospects of achieving anything as many on here do.

Very intruiging fight that and should this happen down the line and Haye did pull of a big upset it wouldn't make him a great in my eyes. To do that he would have to become undisputed champ, and clean out everyone for the next 4-5 years and then and only then could he even be remotely considered a great fighter.
      Oh yeah, If Haye was to land a bomb it would be lights out for Klitschko.

      Its a fight i would like to see in 09.

        Fair enough but I don't see any real comparison with Khan. Haye is very much proven - plus any HW can get KO'd that's just the reality when 200+ pound guys fight.

        Haye is the only one guilty of overhyping himself, oh and hysterical Wlad fans who seem to be obsessed with him.
