Wladimir Klitschko vs. David Haye: Official Poll

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

It will be like Lewis Tyson, with Haye having the punchers chance but most likely losing this one.

[SplitSecond]

I think Wlad will knock Haye out in rounds 1 to 4.

Haye's only chance of winning is to go for the early KO. He'll do that, but Wlad will counter and take him out.

This will be a very entertaining fight while it lasts.

wlad will counter hahahaha

Unlike most, I actually think this fight difficult to predict, it all depends on Wlad's mental focus and his ability to stick to his game plan, whereas Haye will do anything unseat him (rabbit punches and all). If Wlad survives this assault the 1st 4 rounds then he'll win by wide decision.

Or, for all we know Haye might employ same strategy used against Valuev, he does have the conditions for it.

All this talk about violent KO is just wishfull thinking, this is going to very strategic fight (there too much is at stake for both fighters)

[Davros?]

It will be interesting to see how Wlad deals with Haye's movement and how Haye deals with Wlad's jab.

Wlad's strategy is fairly obvious, he will work that left jab trying to keep Haye at range and then throw the right hand when ever he gets the chance, when Haye gets inside he will clinch him so Haye can’t work on the inside.

Haye could try several different strategy’s, I would get Haye to keep turning Wlad so he cant get his feet set to throw the jab, if Haye could take Wlad's jab away then the rest of Wlads work would be taken away as well everything he does comes off the jab. Haye would then come in with quick flurry of punches and then get out of there and move to the side trying to turn Wlad again. Haye should not sit infront of Wlad trying to slip the jab like Chageav was doing or he will get worn down by it and possibly knocked out.

The first 3 rounds of this fight will be crucial to the outcome imo.

wlad will counter hahahaha

I hope he was joking. Wlad has never countered anyone.

Haye either stops him early, or, Wlad pounds him, then stops him late.

Actually Wlad does counterpunch. Watch the Byrd fight then repeat that he doesn't counter. ESPECIALLY the first one.

That's quite a change. You said before that Wlad is a bum and Haye will destroy him.

you should post that

Wlad uses counter punches, more often in his earlier fights though.

Watch the Barrett fight, both Byrd fights and the Mercer fight.

[Boxingwizard]

Haye has the size to beat Wladimir, but I don't know if he has the skills. Adamek and Chambers are small heavyweights and are better boxers than Haye, but they don't have the size to beat the Klitschko's. Haye's boxing ability isn't really all that good, although he has some upside. Hard fight to predict, because I'm not sure how good Haye really is.
