A fight between vitali circa 2000 and Haye would have been similar to the hide fight. Haye trying to land and being bombed out. The vitali from a few years ago would have walked Haye down and stopped him. Haye doesn't like pressure and vitali was like a heavyweight margarito. The johnson fight he threw around a thousand punches and lets not forget the iron chin. Even now I'd favour vitali, I thought valuev deserved the nod against Haye and no matter how much vitali has slowed he's still quicker, more awkward and hits a lot harder than sugar valuev.
