    Hopefully one of them shows a lot of character and heart. This isn't toney vs. mccallum, it's either going to be blood or boredom.

    Tyson was a monster and holyfield could actually defend himself well on the inside, also has an amazing chin. At best haye vs. klit fight will be fun for a couple of rounds. At least it'll be better than everything that's come out of the heavyweight division in years.

      Thats my point. Once Tyson was banned, heavyweight boxing was dead. There hasn't been a memorable fight since then, unless you count upsets but there was no hype for Lewis to fight Rahman the first time, etc...

      Haye vs Wlad is a big fight. Two top guys in their prime going at it. There has not been any matchups like this since Tyson fought Holyfield.

        Baloney. Lewis vs Vitali was a great heavyweight war.

          The best three heavyweight fights of recent times (post-Tyson) were:

          Lennox Lewis vs Vitali Klitschko

          Sergei Liakhovich vs Lamon Brewster

          Wladimir Klitschko vs Samuel Peter I

            Two Heavyweight KO artists in there prime, with suspect chins. Who both hate each other fighting in front of 60 thousand people.

            Could you ask for anymore?

              I still think Wlad will win by KO. I'm very excited for this fight, lets hope Haye doesn't pull out of this fight one of these days.
