David Haye and Wladimir Klitschko
Finally boys..it's official now. The fight is about to take place on June 25 or July 2. We'll see is it going to be on Wlad's "homeland" at Germany. Still discussions about that. But damn..looking forward for this! :)
How about you fellas?

Yeah I'm definitely excited. The heavyweight division has been so lame lately, it will be nice to see some good action, between two guys that way more than 130 lbs. Don't get me wrong I love to watch two little Mexican fighters pummel each other for ten straight rounds, but it's nice to see the big boys bring the power!

Yeah I like the brotherly bond that the Klitschko's bring to the ring. It reminds me of my small home town, "You better not mess with my brother, or you're messing with me." If Haye pulls off the victory I'd love to see him try to make it 2 for 2.Highly doubt that it wont gonna happen :) But im sure we will see great fight! David isnt going to be cakewalk for Wlad for sure!

I've changed my mind here. I do care about this fight, but not for the reason that anyone else does. I want Haye to knock Wlad out, so Tomasz Adamek can get a shot to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. I think Adamek would have a great shot at beating Haye too.

I would favor the Klitschko brothers over any heavyweight in the world, but I would not say that they are unbeatable. Wladimir is a highly skilled boxer & a rather gifted athlete (considering how large he is), but he has weaknesses that can be exploited. He's shown in the past that he can be hurt badly if hit well on the chin. A fighter like Haye could possibly get in a good shot, and with his blend of speed & power actually get a TKO or KO. Wladimir has also shown a weakness as far as his stamina goes. The controlled manner in which he fights now helps him avoid having this be a problem. Controlled pace, along with being able to keep his opponent at bay, helps him to keep from expending too much energy. However, if he were to take on an opponent that wasn't fazed by his jackhammer like jab & big right hand, meaning they could force a pace of their own for Wladimir to have to keep up with, then his stamina would more than likely be a problem for him. None of that is easy to get done for any fighter taking on Wlad, but the possibility is there for it to happen.
I believe that Vitili is beatable, but I don't have any clue as to how it will happen. I feel like the best bet there would be right now is hoping age will finally catch up to him. Vitili has done a good job in his career of keeping any damaging weakness from being apparent. However, like all fighters & even the ones that seem invincilble (Tyson probably being the most famous of these), every fighter can be beaten at some point in their career.

Unfortunately, the only way that anyone will care is if Haye wins by brutal KO. Klitschko has brutalized opponents since putting everything together, but no one cares. However, I think Haye knocking out Wlad will bring much more attention to the division. This will especially hold true if some of the smaller heavyweights in the division (Adamek, Povetkin, Chagaev, Chambers, Arreola) get a shot at the new champion (if he wins).

Yeah you are right. There's prety much no one to beat with them specially Wlad. But as you say Wlad has weakness; chin. If he misses his famous big right hand and opponent can take advantage of this Wlad is in big trouble,even though he dont misses his hit...the chin. About Wlad's stamina i think i have to disagree :)
One of our Finnish boxer said once Wlad would be The perfect boxer if not his weak chin

I think Wlad's stamina issues have to do with being so big & muscular. I also think it got worse as he got older (I think he was able to get away with it early in his career). If you don't believe he had stamina issues before changing his style, with the help of Emanuel Steward, than watch his fight against Lamon Brewster.
