Vitali Klitschko or Wladimir Klitschko?

[TheReligion]

Is it a given that Haye is going to chase these two now?

His fight with Wladimir will surely go ahead next after the late cancelation when Haye had to pull out a few months ago.

Isn't Vitali supposed to be the better of the two though?

Can someone explain to me what is likely to happen, as I am aware Wladimir has the most titles (WBO, IBF, IBO) but is Vitali's WBC title more prestigious?

Vitali is the better, but because of his injury and age he's less active than his brother in the field... he has a fight in December so you'd figure he could be the latter of the choice.

For all purposes, Vitali is undefeated, I don't give a feck what anyone says

You should tell Lennox Lewis that. A cut is a cut, part of the game as all fighters know.

Saying he is unbeaten is like when Mourinhio claimed Chelsea were still unbeaten under him because a loss on penalties doesn't really count. At the end of the day they still lost and were out of a cup. Just like Vitali lost and didn't win the belts that night.

As for which Haye should go after, I has to be Wlad. The guy has a jaw that will go when it gets hit, plus he has a two of the belts. Then one big unification fight against Vitali at Wembely, everything up for grabs in 12 rounds.

vlad... they have hyped it up once so its easy to matket the fight... the whole t shirt with the head ripped oiff etc...

then if he wins that a unification fight with vitali... again a dream to market... "i just fecked your little brother up"

after that i think he should face mrs klitchko complete with handbag and roling pin

Wlad.

7 years ago Vitali, but Wlad has always been the more athletic, skilled brother. He just had a problem with southpaws early in his career.

They're both formidable opponents. Wlad is more athetlic and probably more skilful but he's always VERY cautious in order to protect his shakey chin. Put it this way, he fights the same way Haye did against Valuev even when he's 4-5 inches taller and 20lbs heavier than his opponent. You can't doubt his effectiveness, but he's terrible to watch. He'll wear his man down with jabs for the first 8 rounds before he even dares to throw the right hand. Like I said, though, it's not pretty but it gets the job done.

Vitali is the tougher, more rugged and more exciting brother. He throws more punches, has a greater variety of shots in his arsenal, and can take a shot as well as anyone in the division. Look at some of the bombs he took from Lennox Lewis, for example. He probably doesn't hit quite as hard as Wlad but he's still a very powerful guy and undoubtedly has enough pop in his punches to put Haye on the canvas.

I think Vitali's style is all wrong for Haye and he'd end up getting knocked out. As for Wlad, well he's been known to panic when he gets caught with a big shot and Haye has enough power to cause him problems. Realistically I see it being a bit of a snoozefest, with him keeping Haye on the end of his jab all the way to a points victory.
