The members of the forum are divided over the outcome of the fight

"His chin may well still be suspect but it is a huge assumption to assume that Haye will get the chance to truly test it."

With the David Haye v Wladimir Klitschko WBO, IBF and WBA heavyweight title unification fight just days away, it's time to see what the punters on the Betfair boxing forum are predicting...

"[2.76] is a fantastic price on David Haye. In my opinion, Haye is capable of moving in and out of the jab using the same speed that conquered Nikolai Valuev. When he then picks open a gap against a frustrated Wlad he can then land one or two heavy shots. With Wlad's chin as fragile as Waterford Crystal he will buckle. Whilst Wlad is of course capable of hitting hard, I think if he gets in trouble, Haye will be smart enough to manoeuvre his way out of trouble." - charwell.

"You can't compare Wlad [[1.61]] to Valuev, you just can't. Wlad hits harder and quicker, has better defence, great jab and good fitness. His chin is undoubtedly his biggest weakness but let's not forget Haye has got to land. Getting inside that robotic Wlad jab won't be easy and he's going to leave himself vulnerable darting in and out of it if that's what he tries. I really see this as a fight of who lands first because Klitschko's has more than enough power to put Haye to sleep. Wlad's favourite in my book because I think it's more likely that he lands one first because Haye will have to come looking for him." - Jimmy Diamond

"My only concern for Haye is that in the later rounds if he is losing, he will take wreckless risks to avoid a decision and Wlad will drop him. I'm backing Haye heavily (the price is too good) but am going to back small on Wlad claiming a knockout in round 10 [25.0], 11 [32.0] and 12 [44.0]." - Si-K

"I think Haye's price is so short due to hype. It's very unfair to compare fighting Wlad to fighting Valuev. Wlad's in a completely different league to anything Haye has been up against before...his chin may well still be suspect but it is a huge assumption to assume that Haye will get the chance to truly test it." - Only-The-Brave

David is the best. He had a BAD TOE, if that was in full working order he would've defo won the fight. Poor David.
