Well just over a week to go till Haye vs Klitschko fight so how do people think it will pan out?

Think myself Haye has s good chance as long as he doesnt take to many big risks and try to knock him out too early as the bigger guy sure can hit!

[Ollie the Optimist]

with waht you said. haye has got to do what he did against valuyev, and thats get his tatics spot on and make sure his shots land (like the last round in that fight)

All I know is, never bet on the white guy

[Marc Overmars]

Not a huge boxing fan but really looking forward to the fight this Saturday. Tough one to call which makes it more interesting than other big fights of recent times.

Really excited for this as it's been 2 years in the making and we haven't had a proper heavyweight clash since Lennox Lewis v Vitali Klitschko.

That being said, i don't fancy Haye's chances in this. I think Wlad will frustrate and then take him out in the middle to last rounds

I want to see Haye KO'd as hard as possible.

And then for klitschko to shit on his KO'd face

We still ain't with this fight.

Boxing for what it was not for what its become, when more people would prefer to watch to Middleweights(Mayweather vs Pacchio, if it happens) than heavy one you know its time change the sport.

It will be hard to call, but haye needs to win or he will be finished

As boring as it is, I do appreciate there's an art to not getting hit. Only a great boxer can fight like that, Manny would have knocked out most guys tonight with the punches he was throwing.

Exactly. There was a pic on here with Manny's opponents looking battered and bloody.

He had Mayweather on the ropes and corner and couldn't land a single clean shot. Mayweather's defence is something else.

Plus Floyd always lands the cleaner shots and looks dominant whilst having an impenetrable defence. Not many boxers can balance that and they'd lose on the scorecards for being too defensive.

[Power n Glory]

Duck, run, hold, duck, run, hold...

He Mourinho'd that one.

Rubbish. Manny had him on the ropes plenty of times and unleashed a flurry of punches. Couldn't get a clean shot. Weather in range or out of range Manny couldn't hit him but Floyd could hit Manny. Simple.

WTF has Gerrard done now?
