Will you respect Wladimir if he dominates and KOs Haye?

[sjomcik]

I respect Wlad and if he beats Haye he will shut many haters mouth

[Love Tunney]

You should have put a 'No, I don't like boring fighters' option.

He should have also put a
"No I am a manky bald ******" option.

[Ray*]

You have to respect anyone thats brave enough to put on a gloves and compete at the top level but you dont have to like their style of fighting and i dont like Wlad's style of fighting....Period.

I respect him has a boxer even before he fights Haye but i wish he would open up more and pull the trigger, He doesnt have the good fighters in the division to compete with him so him fighting too cautions against low-level opposition is irritating.

[Davros?]

Wlad didn't want to fight him, there are better fighters like Povetkin, Chambers, Dimitrenko and Arreola.

But because Haye insulted him and the Klitschko family, Wlad felt he had no choice.

Wlad didnt want to fight him? at the press confrence in America he said it was going to be his signature fight.

He didn't say that.

[strugler]

Yep.......................just hate the 3 fight deal.................but besides that the klits are professional...................whats not to respect............

[The Hammer]

A big thumbs up to those who were honest and admitted in the poll that they don't like Wlad because he's white or because he's from Eastern Europe.

I already respect Wlad but im in love with Haye so my heart will be broken lol

But you Klitschko boys have been trashing Haye for months, so I dunno why you suddenly hope Wlad will get mass amounts of credit for beating him when he is fully expected to considering the size difference and experience at HW

[The Hammer]

To answer Dirk's post: the size difference isn't so much. There was a huge size difference between Tyson and Lewis:

Lennox reach: 84"
Tyson reach: 71"
Tua reach: 70"

Wlad's reach: 81"
Haye's reach:79"

Wlad: 6'5" according to his website, 2" shorter than Vitali at 6'7"
Haye: 6'3"

Lennox: 6'5"
Tyson: 5'10"
Tua: 5'10"

There was a far greater size difference between Lewis and his opponents Tua and Tyson, yet we never heard about it. His biggest win was over a former cruiserweight Holyfield, yet people never said much about it.

And I believe Wlad has defeated at least 10 opponents better than Haye, so I won't make too much of this win myself. However, I do think people who are claiming Haye is the Savior of the Heavyweight division should give Wlad credit...

holyfield was already a beast at heavyweight at the time, tyson was tyson ffs, he got some **** about fighting a **** version of tyson at the time if i remember right. but tyson destroyed much bigger opposition than himself before on many occasions so the size issue was never a factor.
