Who will you be rooting for: Haye or Vitali?

[Spirit]

I want Haye to win seeing as he's more appeaing and charismatic to the general public as a HW champ. He could get mainstream attention back to this sport

However I think Vitali will win, just the physicality and brutal power of Vitali spells kryptonite to Haye. I dont see Haye KOing Vitali, but I do think he'll be in the fight for as long as it lasts because of his speed and movement

You mean the media people will like him better because he's not from Eastern Europe?

He only has charisma for very immature people. He seems like a boring. loudmouthed braggart to me.

I'd like to see Vitali win.

Vitali has the highest KO percentage of any heavyweight champion in boxing history.

To quote Shania Twain - "That Don't Impress Me Much".

Lately he's done it in a very boring way. He waits, he plods, he strikes. And repeat. For me, the last exciting KO of his was Sanders - and that crazy bastard was still on his feet by the time the ref had to jump in.

Why he took so long to finish off Williams, Peter and Gomez is beyond me (even the commentators wondered about it in the case of Williams, until they realised how puffed Vitali was after only the 3rd round). He can't **** all night.

I dont think etnicity has anything to do with it. The Klitschkos were brought up to behave in a very formal manner because this way of conducting onself is much more appreciated in Germany and Eastern Europe (I should know Ive been there). Boxing appealed to people in times when flamboyant and/or good looking (no ****, just stating facts) fighters ruled it. Just imagine boxing without Ali, Leonard or Jones.

If he has charisma for immature people then most boxing fans and HBO broadcasters must be very immature

Haye is funny, he's no Ali or James Toney with his mouth, but he's actually a classless ass hole who runs his mouth all the time. He's handsome, looks like a Heavyweight champ, confident, fun to watch and spectacular. He's the kind of guy you love to hate. Tunney, don't tell me this guy is a boring guy you don't care about like a Chagaev. Chagaev is a good guy but he's just a professional boxer, not an entertainer. The Heavyweight doesn't just need champs, it also needs entertainers.
My proof is that you and all the K fans want to see Haye get his ass kicked more than any other opponent. I didn't see that with Gomez, Rahman or Chagaev.

K bros aren't hated only because they're Eastern European, it's because of their style. Lennox Lewis had the same problem. I'm pretty sure if someone like Povetkin make it to the top, he's gonna have a bigger fanbase than them outside of Germany. Why? Because he's more offensive, hit a lot and get hit a lot more than them in his fights.

i like Vitali but i think that a win for Haye would be better for the division.

Let the best man win. I won't be rooting for either.

The Klitschkos are better looking, more impressive men than David Haye (no ****).

No ****, but Vitali is an ugly bloke. Wlad's an adonis.

Haha

No ****.
