DAVID HAYE moved a step closer to a very lucrative fight with Vitali Klitschko last night after secret peace talks with the WBC. The organization vowed to outlaw Haye, 31, after a wild Munich press conference brawl in February with Dereck Chisora, who had just lost on points to WBC champion Klitschko.

Haye's inactivity is annoying. He treats boxing like Mayweather treats boxing, it's not cool from a British fighter and is out of step with a proud history.
At least Floyd comes back and beats some of the top fighters around his weight. As much as I want to see Haye-Vitali, he should stay active fighting every 5-6 months and get some Top 10 wins to put pressure on Vitali.
You really think Mitchell would give Haye a one-sided beating?
:o
You're hyping Mitchell too much. Just admit it, Haye beats almost every top 10 heavy.
I'd love to see him fight Haye, wouldn't go the distance.
You're right, it'd be a one-sided beating.
As much as I hate motormouth (Haye), he generates interest. His power is underrated, too.
I have said it once and I will say it again. Haye is Vitali's only chance of earning a big 8 figure pay day before he retires and he knows it. Vitali has always made good purses for his fights, but nothing like what Wlad has made over his career (god knows why?).
That is why this fight will happen, plus they both have something to prove. Vitali desperately wants to knock Haye out to shut him up once and for all, and Haye wants redemption as I'm sure he was not too happy with his performance against Wlad.
Earl is right, just a bunch of haters on here who don't like Haye. When are you guys going to get it? He would dismantle those other guys. He brings interest, and money whether you like it or not. Lastly and I know this is very painful for some of you...he is a very good fighter.
I do agree but have to admit im a bit bored of Haye, he is a very good fighter its just a shame he didnt do any fighting against Wlad.
Yes Vitali is his only chance at a final big payday same for Vitali they both know it so hopefully they get it on, hopefully Haye doesnt bottle it again!

Helenius has hardly beaten great competition.
Fights with Price, Wilder, Fury will never happen. Boystov is too risky, no reward and Mitchell is the same but higher chance of splattering Haye.
LOL @ this rubbish ^^^
Have we got any Ukranians in here?
Has Vitali actually got any chance of being elected as mayor or into parliament?
Haye will surely be at the fight and I fully expect him to crash the post fight conference and beg for this fight.
Vitaly will ride into the sunset after destroying Charr. His legacy is already secure and he doesn't need Haye. He will go on to be an instrumental political leader in the Ukraine when he hangs his gloves up.
his legacy is only secure in klitschko fans eyes but his resume & level of opposition is still in question. no signature win, lost to the 2 best guys he faced, never beat any of the best guys in his era(been around since mid 90s). if you need a list it can be done...he never even beat any of the big 3 of the 90s(tyson, lewis, holyfield), maskaev, rahman, tua, ruiz, bowe, golota, brewster, haye, oquendo, mccline, botha, toney, moorer, mercer, etc...too many names left off the list who were active. he instead took on featherfisted punchers who couldnt hurt him like herbie hide, vaughn bean, larry donald, sosnowski, etc...
What is there to say about David Haye? At this point his just little brothers left overs. Why would Big brother want little brothers left overs? If you notice, the guys that get a rare 2nd opportunity in life to fight a Klitschko have to earn their shots. Tony Thompson and Sam Peter got an opportunity that very few ever get but that's because they had to earn their way back up to a title shot. Which meant fighting multiple opponents and beating them in impressive fashion.
What Haye is trying to do is leap frog above fighters more deserving than him just because he KOed a guy that Big brother badly beat. He wants money, I don't blame him, the money is with the brothers. But can he beat Adamek? or Povetkin? or even Arreola? LOL based on his skill set I seriously doubt it.
peter beat nagy aguilera & thompson beat maurice harris...chisora beats both of them & he should have got the nod over helenius & thats why chisora got a title shot. injured or not vitali had problems with chisora & couldn't get him out of there. haye destroyed him. i'm thinking maybe you need to do a little more homework...
I'm pretty sure Haye is hoping Vitali retires so he only has to fight some bum for a vacant title I'm just waiting to see where they place him in their rankings.
I would love Haye vs Vitali but if that doesn't happen I Wouldn't mind seeing Haye vs Solis or Arreolla for the vacant strap.
Wlad boxed his way to a clear but cautious victory, destroying Haye would have been turning him into a pizza face and knocking him out in the 12th like he'd predicted. Regarding the Vitali fight i reckon its a 50/50 fight due to Vitali getting on a bit now and if Haye were to win he would get the rematch v Wlad ... where Wlad would cautiously but clearly beat him a second time - then Haye would retire with an extra 30 or 40 odd million between the two fights in his pocket.
yawn. haye doesnt deserve a fight with another klitschko just based on the fact that his effort against wlad was pathetic. having said that, i suppose there is nobody else. wlad vs vitali is what i wanna see.
Really tired of still hearing about Haye. he's not entertaining and he has already lost to Wlad.
Haye Chisora was more entertaining than the last dozen Klit fights put together. he's the number 3 heavyweight in the world and I for one would love to see him get a shot at Vitali.
