Who will you be rooting for: Wladimir Klitschko or David Haye?

[Davros?]

I just want to see a good fight that is close and exciting.

[The Hammer]

The poll shows both have a lot of supporters here - should be lots of boxingscene buzz the day of the fight.

I want Haye to do better than I expect him to do since it would make the fight more exciting...but I definitely want Wladimir to be victorious.

The Champ, big Wladdy K.

I usually cheer for anyone against Wlad. I just hate his style. To see such a big lump fight so negatively, it's almost like he's been forced in the ring by Steward who has his mother held hostage or something. Then it's ten rounds of pawing and jabbing until even the opponent is begging to be put down. Then Wlad has to be coaxed, coerced and bullied into closing the show... for cripes sake KO this guy right now (I'm going to kill your mother!!!) and knowing he has no other choice Wlad begrudgingly obliges.

Vitali though, he can fight.

It was a question to me whether Wladimir still enjoyed boxing, whether his heart was really in the task of beating men in the head, some 3 years ago, around the time of the Thompson fight.

In the last couple of years, though, coinciding with the whole Haye affair really heating up (from Haye's KO of Barrett on), I've sensed a fresh relish in his performances, regardless of how methodical. Almost as if having a nemesis has brought some desire and sparkle back into work he was growing weary of. He's definitely a meaner, harder presence in the ring now than at this time 3 years ago, IMO. And I'm not talking about how many rounds he takes to stop a guy.


Haye better watch out. I believe Wladimir's been holding back his biggest bombs over his last 4 fights and saving them for this moment on which we're now waiting.

Whats up with these Haye fans coming out of the woodwork? I'm a Klitshcko fan and it felt like for months i've been the only one defending David in the heavy weight threads.

If it would be Vitali vs Haye I'd be rooting for Haye because I would like Wladimir to win against a victorious Haye to finally straighten out the misconception that Vitali is the better boxer than Wlad.
