Didn't realise Wlad is still only 34.
This will be a good un.

I agree about the Klitschko brothers both being top level boxers.
I disagree about the bit in brackets though, that day was Vitali's day to defeat Lennox.
Lennox had been preparing to fight Kirk Johnson and had, to Manny Steward's disgust, neglected his training to film Oceans 13.
Vitali came in as a late-ish replacement and it took Lennox several rounds to work him out, once he had however....
Like you posted, they both have suffered through a lack of decent opponents.
Having dominated the division for the past 7/8 years it's a shame that Vitali is best known for being left bloodied and beaten by Lennox Lewis and Wladimir is best known for getting ko'd by journeyman Corrie Saunders.
It's a shame they are brothers, as the biggest fight waiting to happen in the heavyweight division for the last 5 years has been Vitali v Wladimir.

Proper needle in this one. The press conferences have been just as spiteful as the Groves vs DeGale build-up.
Roll on 2nd July.

I really don't think Haye's stamina is as much of an issue as it used to be. Booth has talked about how they've addressed that in the past. We may even see a cautious approach from Haye in the early rounds due to the height difference, with him picking up the pace in the mid rounds.
I'll make my prediction after the first round... it all depends on how comfortable Haye looks against the much bigger fighter. Wladimir is no Valuev, he's got the ability as well as size.
