    i think Vitali is one of the best HW ever i gotta give him his due i think he could hang with a lot of great HW based on his chin and size alone
    I really don't know how Vitali was still standing after than uppercut in the final round of the fight (before it was stopped)

      yeah he has a great chin

      that is the same punch that had Tommy Morrison Ko'ed allthough that is not hard to do

        Although everyone agrees that no one can see him getting past vitali, don't you find the guy is entertaining, boxing is entertainment and haye is bringing it to the heavyweight devision, no matter what the outcome i respect fighters skill but i also respect people that are exciting to watch and haye is one of them. Vit and Vlad both have the skills to put haye away don't get me wrong but the whole constant jabbing with a big right/uppercut here and there isnt good to watch.

          i agree but you gotta respect Vitali he does at least bring it a bit more

          i dont like Wlad cause he is negative and he holds to much

            I'm a fan of both.but i think haye should fight wlad.his chances would be better. haye has speed.and that's something that could help him overcome the size advantage.vitali, is huge,he's almost like a superheavyweight version of hopkins.he's cagey as hell, has a great beard, and can punch when he wants to.

              It's good to see you finally give Vitali the respect he deserves.

              Vitali is one of the best heavyweights of all time.

                I remember recalling that if Vitali had the right hand of a Oliver McCall or Hasim Rahman or (YES!) even a Wladimir Klitschko the heavyweight title would have changed hands there and then.

                  Vitali landed that huge right hand in the 2nd round that hurt Lewis very bad and had him staggering like a drunk....Props to Lewis for surviving that round, he had an underrated chin.

                    Yes,but my point still stands.The evidence is there in Lewis' career when he didn't come in 100 % and badly underestimated his opponent.

                    BTW be happy Wlad Owns that I'm giving Vitali's brother his props...

                      With Wlad, at least Haye has a punchers chance. He wouldnt against Vitali. Both Vitali and Wlad knock Haye out violently by the way.
