    Let's turn it around and think on Haye's best line.

    "You're all bums and you'll get knocked the fuck out."

    Made me laugh at the smug bluntness of it, but it doesn't exactly betray a natural propensity for Ali-like levels of charismatic sassiness or Tyson-esque depths of eloquent rage.


    I find the Klitschkos hilarious in their perceived 'straight men' roles at times. Vitali's facial reactions during the post-fight interview shared with Haye at the 02 in November cracked me up, pure silent comedy which let on more about Vitali's personality than words might otherwise have revealed. He seems a funny, eccentric cat...doesn't come off like a dullard to me. Wladimir seems more genuinely sober, but I think there's error in casting the brothers as exactly alike. They aren't.

      While i am exagerrating, a few facial expressions and a couple of whimsical puns aside, they dont strike me as the life and soul of the party.

      It's just a marked contrast to David as a whole, who would make a FAR better HW camp in that respect [imo]. Who the hell wants a couple of emotionless robots as the successors to Tyson, Bowe, Holyfield, Lewis, Ruddock, Mercer, Tua etc.

          Out of the ones you listed the only one you could call a personality was Tyson, that ofcourse if you like a coke snorting, raping and felony convicted champ.


          Wlad has more personality then any of the others you listed.

          Especialy Lewis, I mean, even a ******ed 3 year old child has more personality then Lewis.

            The play-off between the Klitschkos perceived straightness and Haye's brash proclamations is what makes things interesting, anyway. Does anyone really see the heavies becoming that much more compelling a proposition, present and future, just from having Haye on the throne a while? It would add some interest, but it needs more than a shortlived Haye title reign to get the division back to an excitement level befitting its marquee status in the longterm. What heavyweight boxing suffers from is a lack of depth at large, both in talent and personality terms. If the pool of both was deeper and more varied, the K's probably wouldn't be harshly tarred as standard bearers for a beige status quo. They'd be counterpoint and contrast.

              Face it. Even if Haye did navigate Wladimir, somebody at heavyweight is ruining him before very long after. I don't see him raising any bars even if he checks Wlad's chin. He's going to burn out quick, though he could conceivably burn bright for a short time. We'll see.

                I think people mistake them as deep based on the fact they dont know enough english to say anything remotely interesting.

                They only ever manage to squeeze out corkers like "it will be .. good fight, many people will watch and it will be good fight for both fighter".

                That's YOUR opinion. I happen to think David Haye has no personality
                is rude, and arrogant. He has bad character, and is dis-respectful.
                Lots of the Brits who support him do so because he is British.
                Of course lots of people don't like the Klits. They are good looking
                have good character, are clean living, are doctors, faithful men to the
                women in their life etc... They do lots of charity work, have an eye on
                political issues. They are big men who don't trash
                talk. So yeah it's not "cool" for the English chav yobs to like them
                or to even admit, they enjoy their fights. David Haye is more on their
                level. He's like them.


                I am not saying everyone who likes him is like that either but the
                many of his followers on this board are like that. When you are
                giving out red k and personally insulting people just because
                they said something about Haye, you're the one that has issues.
                Not talking about you personally, but the general Haye huggers.

                IMO those Klit boys have lots of charisma, personality and intriguing
                guys. I can't say the same about Haye.
