Lets see how boxingscene votes on this most troubling development! Poll to follow.. BTW.. Tunney please attempt to discuss this topic without bringing up the race card! Poll to follow!
People seem to overlook the fact that Haye spent weeks training and now won't get a paycheck. Personally I was hoping to see Klitschko KO him, but I agree that we should at least wait until all the facts are in. Hopefully WK can get a decent replacement and still fight on HBO on June 20.
They're going to reschedule this thing pretty soon.. We'll be okay. Someone will get KO'd soon don't worry!
We really need to find out the severity of the injury first, it's not fair to Haye to call him a pussy or a coward until we find out how bad the injury is.

This thread is far too premature no one knows anything so its a bunch of nonsense really!!
Why is it anytime a fighter gets injured so many people jump on the ****ing bandwagon. Its ridiculous just like this thread...if he never intended to fight, why sign the contract? Its not like he's gonna get paid regardless. Wish everyone would calm down with their opinions, Haye is an undisputed champion, and fighters who reach that kind of level are NOT affraid of anyone, affraid of losing, yeah every fighter is. Do you have more fear when you are facing someone who is very dangerous...yes, but as is the case with most champions it makes them better...****!
Vlad is hardly a prime tyson
I#m furious right now, because I just got my tickets (which I paid way too much for) so I'm not really unbiased, but the fact that they couldn't specify the injury, even to team Klitschko, sounds fishy to me.
an indipendent docotor is gonna examine it and let the klit camp know what the stroy is as far as i know. think that was on the setanta site.
We'll have to wait and see

A lot of people thought Chagaev was faking injuries in the three fights he pulled out of (I'm not counting the recent one).
Haye felt he needed more time to prepare I think, he was afraid of losing if he fought on June 20. He heard the reports that Wlad is in great shape...
A Wlad-Hugger(i'm looking at you Tunney) needs to photoshop a picture of Haye taking a hammer to his own hand! That would be a great comeback to the decapitated Wlad photos!

I agree.. although I made this poll I didn't vote on it. I was just curious to see how everyone felt. We need more info BPP. Get on it dude!

well.. This is my feeling on the matter. After all the trash talking he's done he did not want to enter the ring feeling anything short of 110%. He knows he has to fight a fairly perfect fight to win. I'm not sure I would call it P*ssying out but I really question if his hand is fully injured. I bet it's better than the hand Malinaggi brings into the ring every fight.. Not that Paulie is a good standard for condition.
He wouldn't call off the biggest fight/pay day off his career if he wasn't properly injured.
What if he was having shit sparring sessions, roadwork and multiple smaller nagging injuries?
His hand better have been in terrible condition for him to pull this stunt.
This seems to be a pretty polarizing story.. No one picked the neutral poll option.
From what people are saying, it doesn't seem like he was ready for this fight. I doubt he's faking... but this is a major MAJOR letdown :thumbsdow
My guess is for all the trash Haye has talked, he must not have been peaking properly and accomplishing the things he envisioned to be prepared. He may also have downright hurt his hand? Is it possible for a fighter on this level to fake such a serious injury?
Why do people think that Haye would pussy out of the biggest fight of his career with only a couple of weeks to go?
I nfind it hard to beleive its anything but a injury.
Hard to say seeing as we dont know what the injury is yet. What if both of his thumbs fell off? That seems legit. What would stop your gloves from rotating and whatnot?
If your last name is margarito then some conveniently placed cement.
