I've always been a fan of Wlad. I've always liked his technical ability, his mannerism and his personality but this whole Chisroa back injury thing and the sudden talk of an April/May Haye clash concerns me.
Wladimir should just fight Chisora. To drop Chisora and face Haye seems 'dishonorable' to me. Add to that the fact that Haye has continually messed him about I just don't see why Wlad should even bother with Haye while Haye hasn't even achieved anything so it would be a fruitless win anyway.
People will hate Wladimir regardless win or loose against whoevere but the one thing they can't bash is his honour. As I say I'm a big fan but Wlad signed to fight Chisora and dropping out with an 'injury' then signing with Haye would seem very suspicious to me; almost Cintron or Dirrell like in cheapness.
Wladimir don't let me down. Fight Chisora make Haye wait and if he retires so be it you'll get that belt in November while every true boxing fan knows you'd walk Haye anyway - just don't me immoral.
I want to see good competitive fights, If Wlad-Haye is the right fight then its great that Wlad dropped Chisora, Chisora is still novice at this stage.
Haye may be playing his games again and will probably back out again two weeks before the fight. The Gayemaker should not be trusted.
Exactly. Imagine if Wlad chooses not to fight Chisora and negotiates with Haye then Haye backs out again - which I think he would. Wlad is in his prime and these months are precious to him and how many months (years even?) has Wlad wasted previously negtiating and waiting for Haye?
@Wladisthechamp
I do agree with you mate I do think the injury is legit but that's why Wlad needs to face Chisora and not bow to Haye because that would make it seem extremely suspicious. Like Tunney says Haye may have gotten into Wlad's head more than he should have and where there's smoke there's always fire.
At the absolute minimum Wlad should make a public ultimatum to Haye with a cutoff date & promise Chisora a mandatory defence.
At the end of the day beating Haye means nothing people will just say: "Who did Haye beat?" And lets face it he's beat nobody at HW except washed up old fighters.
I do want to see Haye v Wlad but Haye had several chances and screwed the fans again and again. Wladimir is better then him & it's time for Haye to do the waiting not the champion. Haye needs Wladimir more than Wladimir needs Haye beause unless Haye fights and beats Wladimir he will go down in history as a nobody when he retires in 11 months time whereas Wlad is the unified, undisupted Ring champion who will most likely reign for another 4-5 years and another 10-15 defences.
wlad should fight chisora even though everyone and their mum know hes going to KO him...
u dont handpick this unworthy fighter, claim an injury (legit or not panda wont speculate) and then proceed to have ur handlers say another opponent is next the very next day if u have any sense of decency....

Injuries happen, I believe Wlad is really injured, the pull-out wasn't due to the fact that a fight with Gaymaker has a chance of happening, because the fight was the next day, what difference would it have made? He had the whole stadium ready, his promotions company was financially responsible for the event (k2), and even if he had insurance for this kind of thing he still was going to be out of pocket for a considerable sum for training expenses, so it doesn't make sense from the stand-point of a Wlad faking an injury to get out of the Chisora fight.
As for him fighting Chisora now, that's up to him. He doesn't owe him anything from a contract stand point, from an "honor" stand point, he doesn't owe him anything either because he hasn't said or promised to face him after December 11. It's not like he promised him a fight no matter what (like Lewis did in front of millions to Vitaly only to retire), he signed for a fight on Dec.11, which didn't happen, now it's up to Wlad to decide whether he should give the foul-mouthed Zimbabwean another shot. If the Diva fight comes along in March, Wlad should take that, then if Chisora is still around he should consider fighting him.
