    Vitali from Arreola or even Adamek fight brutally KOs Haye IMO.
    I'm not sure on the Vitali from the Adamek fight, but Vitali pre retirement for sure. I'll give Haye a shot at post retirement Vitali, the chance increasing with every year.

      Although Vitali pre retirement was a more aggressive fighter I don't take as Vitali's prime. Vitali's prime is Arreola and especially Gomez fight IMO. He started to fight smart and still be aggressive.

      No, I don't think Haye would be able to sustain Vitali's attacks for whole 12 rounds. Prior to Wlad's fight Haye kept saying Vitali is the stronger brother. Vitali would take a few in the process but he would KO him in Herbie fashion.

        Let's face it Vitali is too scared to fight Haye. I still have it as an even fight which could go either way, Vitali is still no joke and he beats most other heavyweights but Haye has the power and speed to end him. We saw how they both handled Chisora and that's the reason Vitali is too frightened to fight him. Everybody knows that by now, it's just a fact.

            Well it would be disrespectful to compare Arreola to Haye. It's obvious that Haye wouldn't just stand there for 10 rounds taking one punch after another. Could he handle that? Of course not. Would it happen? No.

            Vitali's fights against Gomez/Arreola/Peter were onslaughts of limited fighters. I think his prime was around Lennox/Johnson/Williams. He hasn't faced anyone as mobile as Haye and whilst I would definitely not rule out that Vitali would beat Haye in '08 or '09 I think Haye would have a better chance against that Vitali than in '03 or '04. Vitali's movement was simply different when he came back. And you need speed to beat Haye,

                Vittles will never fight Haye. In fact Haye has already retired him whether he fights again or not. This is the biggest money fight he could make and it won't happen because Vits wants everything such as the British PPV.

                Klit fans love to claim Lewis retired because of Vitaly. If Lewis had tried to make the rematch but demanded crazy stipulations those Same fans would say Lewis was forcing him out to purposely duck the fight. What's the difference in the Haye-vittles situation except that Lewis actually fought and beat Vits?

                  In Germany? Haye might get a draw.

                  Anyway, for those saying Haye stops Vitali, when is the last time VK was rocked or hurt in a fight? (srs question)

                    Haye would win via UD...

                    Booth tactics are always about getting the UD
