    116-112 Canelo for me.

    Can see the argument to have it closer either way though.

      Looking forward to the Fury fight this weekend. I'm no doubt in the minority when I say I will be rooting for Mr Fury

        Rooting for Wlad and hope that Marcus gets a dose of the ****s for backing Fury

          Would love to see Fury win if only because I want to see him do a scissor kick in the middle of the ring.

            I do think it would be pretty funny if Fury won - Klitschko is so, so dull.

                  He's a welcome addition to the heavyweight scene IMO. Always liked Haye. The division is getting a smidgen more interesting at last. This makes it more interesting.
                  Thanks very much for being

                    He is certainly not a colourful character or overly eye pleasing in the ring, but in terms of actual in ring ability he has had longs spells of being top class, a level that Fury has never come close to being.

                    If Wlad at 39 years of age is at even 75% of the level he once was, then he should have too much for a bang average heavyweight like Fury. Take away Fury's mouth (and to be honest his ignorant comments of late about things like suicide and homosexuality have really shown him up for what he is like away from the cameras) and you get a guy who only stands out thanks to the decline of the heavyweight division.

                    Take Wlad out of the current heavyweight scene and all you are left with are names that would have been fodder 20 or 30 years ago.

                    When one goes and looks at the level of heavyweights that made up the "padding" numbers back in the 1980s and 1990s, you still get a list of guys who brought far more talent and ability than the so called top guys today.

                    It has been such a fall from grace for the heavyweight title. Once upon a time it was probably the most important sporting title on the planet, now it is on the verge of just becoming a trinket that gets passed from one hype job to another, and even if Wlad beats Fury the title certainly will become such a trinket once Wlad retires.

                      Haye makes the heavyweight division interesting? How?

                      He adds nothing and added **** all of any real note last time around.

                      All he is now is just another hype job who adds lots of colour before the bell rings, but nothing of note against a decent fighter once the bell goes.

                      He talks a bloody good fight, but all he is great for is going backwards when anyone decent advances in the ring.


                      Horribly underrated at cruiserweight, but vastly overrated as a heavyweight

                        Makes it more interesting to me.

                        Thoroughly enjoyed watching him beat up that bum Chisora, I very much enjoyed his win over Ruiz (put him down four times IIRC) and I even enjoyed the win over Valuev. I think he'd beat Fury too.

                        None of them are much good but I didn't say it was getting good.
                        Thanks very much for being

                          Id watch Haye vs Wilder/Fury.

                          If there's any truth in Bellew wanting a tear-up with him I'd deffo watch that too.

                            I'd love to see Haye smash Bellew.

                                Not a chance of him meeting Bellend.

                                Bellend wants the bout to be at cruiserweight, and there is not a chance in hell imo that Haye would attempt to drop back down to cruiser.
