Wlad fought on a stream in the US and yet Haye aint on AT ALL :lol1::lol1: The so called saviour of the HW division cant even get on tv in the States.
So, this fight is not going to be on in the US? Wait, who cares? I am more upset that HBO is showing the Pavlik and Bute fights on the same night as Froch vs Kessler on Showtime. Why?
How can Haye fans defend this?
Who is? i dont mind if he fights Vitali and then the winner has to fight Valuev that wouldnt be so bad but he hasnt even beat Ruiz yet.
Wlad fought on a stream in the US so it don't matter if the entire Nazi regime watched y'all ain't bringing that bullshit here again...they got booed last time in NYC remember.
What country did Haye last fight in?
Valuev's and Haye's goal is to be the #3 heavyweight in the world.
I disagree, i think its typical of the german promoters and Klitchkos, if you think you can do the job straight way why become sly over it to handcuff opponents.
We all knew this may happen there seemed to be some dodgey dealings with Don King within the Valuev fight.
A rematch could be on the cards or the Winner of Haye and one of the Klits vs Valuev who knows as yet.
Hopefully the later though Ruiz stood aside why wont Valuev he didnt take the Klit fight earlier this year though which was a bit strange.
lol I was hopping that Haye would get a defence in before having to fight Valuev again. I dont mind so much a fight against Chageav but not Valuev again that fight was awful. If Haye does have to fight Valuev he should do it end of june early july then Chageav November then he would be free to fight anyone.

forget the 7ft giant....go for the klitschkos!!...
I`ve told it many times... Sauerland has options for HAye`s next three fights... Haye would be stupid to fight one of the Klitschkos within those three... He would also be stupid to drop the belt, as that would leave him without a trump card in negotiations...
I could have sworn Wlad broke TV viewing records last time he fought.

Haye's preparing to fight a mandatory now. Valuev-Haye wasn't competitive and I really hope the WBA doesn't have him make another defense before he starts trying to unify.
Wlad seemed to be more realistic and less irrational than most posters. Didn't really seem to mind Haye having a fight after Ruiz, in fact he hoped he would. Also hoped they could eventually fight sometime around December, meaning he'll probably take another fight himself. Everything seems to indicate Haye fighting Valuev next, Wlad being cool with it, and the two fighting later in December. But it's fun to flip out, act stupid and B.S. around so yeah, Haye certainly is ducking the Klits, and if he doesn't give up his best leverage to possibly enter neogiations with the Klits, he's ducking.
Man when Haye announced he was moving up to Heavyweight the night he crushed Enzo Mac, I was pumped. Then just as quickly as I got excited, Haye disappointed me with long layoffs, trouble finding opponents, trouble with negotiations, injuries, etc. Haye's now a part time fighter at best and he's wasting his prime years doing little more than talking when he should be fighting.
While I'm still a fan of Haye's, hearing he may have to fight Valuev again is a real let down. The WBA belt...well really all belts in boxing these days mean jack squat. Some of the best and most meaningful fights now-a-days aren't championship fights. If I were a boxer I'd drop the WBA title and give the Klitschko's whatever they wanted in order to get a fight with either one of them made. I know there's a business side to boxing but it's no different than when I'm at work. I want a bigger raise or a promotion I sacrifice a bit to get it, then once I'm the boss I get to start setting terms.
Valuev is and was always a joke. He's out of shape, way past his prime, and possesses little more than very basic boxing skills along with little power. Ruiz and Chagev are no different either. It's simply amazing at how money and corruption can tie up the sport of boxing. The WBA recycles the same 3 to 4 fighters over and over and makes mandatories out of fighters who haven't earned anything.
If they force Haye to fight Valuev, I'd either pay Valuev to step aside or drop the belt and move on. The longer this garbage continues the more inclined I am to believe Haye never wanted any part of a Klitschko. Start fighting 3 or 4 times a year Haye and get something done!
