    I doubt haye would get a decision in kiev. I would rather see them fight somewhere neutral, and not germany, russia or kiev etc

      Haye's had many fights in London, Ward fights in Oakland, and Floyd always fights in Las Vegas.
      Not that he doesn't deserve it, I just don't think a mega-fight belongs in one of the home cities. I don't think it will bother Haye as his two biggest wins have come in France and Germany, but I think a major fight should be more neutral. Germany is home advantage enough, let alone Kiev.

      Ward getting to fight in Oakland all the time is something I don't agree with, Floyd fights in Vegas because it's the place for major fights (while he's from Michigan)...

        Can you even name ONE fighter who has ever been robbed in Ukraine?

          he does - BUT haye would be within his rights to take issue with it I don't want to see no Charr esque doctors in there. but as long as the officials are good then it should be in Kiev.

            Every dog has it's day and I think Vitali's day has finally come and gone.

            I can't quite believe im picking Haye to win by KO/TKO,

              Damn right he has earned the fight in his home city, plus he has the belt. Haye needs to get his passport out and book his flight seats if he wants the fight, no diva bull****

                I'm picking haye by decision/tko I don't see even a past prime Vitali going down for the count against Haye but I do see the possibility of him getting smashed open and being too proud/tough to go down. I think a haye UD is most likely with an unpleasant haye battering of a Vitali that suddenly looks very old and slow on the night being possible but less likely. But having said that Vitali is no fool and he's certainly not shot - just past prime and a past prime vitali certainly has a chance of pulling it off - either way its by far and away the most dangerous fight of vitali's career - well bar Lewis but that was pretty much the opposite circumstance to this.

                  The fight should be in the Ukraine. Vitali is the champ and its his farewell fight. He is giving Haye the chance to redeem himself after his pathetic attempt vs his younger brother so David is in no position to demand neutral territory.

                  Im sure Vitali will have a rematch clause just incase. A win for Haye sets the Wvlad rematch up nicely but I still cant seeing him winning that one regardless.
                  Haye could possibly beat Vitali if he could be as evasive as Johnson was but throw something back. Haye would have to keep on the move because Vitali isnt as good as cutting off the ring as his younger brother. Battlelines look like they will be set very early into this one and it will be a long fight. Haye thinks teh old man is there for the taking but he will probably regret that judgement with hindsight

                    I dont think it should be in the Ukraine. If Vitali loses it'd seriously damage his image there. In Germany, the damage could be controlled.

                    I got Haye by KO/TKO. If this fight materialises, I will be travelling wherever it is to watch this.

                      How many times has a farewell fight been discussed and reported only for Vitali to deny it later? I don't believe anything until he actually announces it. With that said, I'd love to see it.
