    I'm 100% behind Haye.

    Pretty much every boxing fan I talk to wants Haye to win actually.

      Thanks.

      How come I am getting different responses from Brits?

      1. "Almost everyone I know here is rooting for Haye"

      2. "Almost everyone I know here is rooting for Wlad"

        a unified Heavyweight Champion is a massive shot in the arm for Brit boxing.

        So yeah.

          The only people who I know who want Haye to win are casual fans.

          I struggle to see how you can like David Haye.

            either way its going to end embarassingly for one of them. Personally im leaning towards Haye, but I jus want to see a great heavyweight fight, as im sure everyone does. Its been too long since a HW fight generated this much debate and excitement.

            Haye by KO3/4, because i believe Haye's only chance against Wlad is start fast and throw bombs

              A lot of people here have a 'sheep' mentality, just agrre with everything their mates say.

              I personally want Haye to lose, I have a lot of respect for his CW achievments, but he has been hugely hypocritical since moving to HW, accusing the Klitsschkos of being boring and fighting bums. Most casual boxing fans want Haye to win I find, whereas it is mixed in the more hardocre fans. Saying that, Wlad's appearances in the last few days seem to have made more people root for him.

              On the Vitali sportsmanship issue, that was bad kicking out and he is definitely more of a gentleman that his brother (Haye seems really scared of Vitali though!)

              And Frank Warrenhas been guilty in the past of keeping his fighters on a domestic level too much but has significantly improved his fight cards and has pushed his fighters more recently. I think this is since Khan left him, he's realised all his boxers with star potential will go (like Naz, Joe etc) unless he gives them the big fights they want.

                As well as wanting Wlad to win, I fully expect him to!

                  It's just a nice excuse to get pissed up and have a laugh with some fellow boxing fans.

                    Thanks for all that.

                      But once again I am not certain of the lingo. In the USA, pissed off means mad. We don't have (TMK) "pissed up", but does that mean drunk?
