Kubrat Pulev confirms: "We're negotiating with David Haye"

Didn't someone post a few weeks ago the IBF would NOT let Pulev fight before his Eliminator with the Fury-Cunningham winner? Was that just a lie or has the IBF granted Pulev an exemption? If so does anyone have a link to it? As far as this fight is concerned...lets hope it comes to fruition. Tough fight to pick though. Haye hasn't looked stellar against big guys, but at the same time Pulev lacks a lot of experience and has never been in the ring with someone as fast and elusive as Haye. Still looking for an answer to this. Does anyone have a link explaining how Pulev can all of a sudden make a fight?

This won't happen. If it does, however, I fancy Pulev. Unless Haye can blast him out of there in 5, Pulev takes it. Haye has stamina issues.

I can ensure he was, is and will be hungry, that's the only sure thing about Arreola:cool2: Haha yeah he sure is hungry for McDonalds and KFC lol If he comes in around 236-240 if he fights Vitali again then i'm sure he will give Vitali a nightmare, I'm just not sure how a 42 year old, slowed down, power sapped Vitali will deal with the pressure Arreola would bring.

Erm, not sure why you brought Valuev into the equation. Height?? Haye fought a very disciplined fight with Valuev. He never went for the kill until the last round when Valuev did his chicken dance. Which was more than what any other fighter had done to him at that point. Did the Klits unify with Valuev?? haye almost lost to valuev because he threw so few punches. & valuev outright ducked vitali on numerous occasions.

that's actually a pretty damn good fight, considering how sh#t the division has been. IMO those are the two best fighters at HW not named klitschko. pulev is a bit untested, but i think he's better than povetkin. bigger and with more gas, might be a bit faster, and he's a southpaw. i'd love to see this one make it to american TV. wishful thinking, probably.

You actually believe all Klitschko fans are my alts. :rofl: Don't be such a silly girl. Not all but definitely some of them.

Right, like he did with Valuev? Erm, not sure why you brought Valuev into the equation. Height?? Haye fought a very disciplined fight with Valuev. He never went for the kill until the last round when Valuev did his chicken dance. Which was more than what any other fighter had done to him at that point. Did the Klits unify with Valuev??

I like his comments about what is he suppose to do? Fight mediocre fighters? That's a good attitude to have when you are coming up.

We'll see. There are several negotiations going on.

that would be great! hope this happens! imo this is an even fight but I take pulev to win a close decision, but wont have prob with haye winning, still a competitive fight against Vitali

Wow if this comes off i will be shocked and delighted in equal measure! My respect for Haye will be back because this is the toughest fight out there for him with an opponent not called Klitschko

In a dream scenario Haye would fight Pulev in june setting up a fight with Fury in October in a football Stadium, Wladimir fighting Pieneta in May, Povetkin in July then Winner of Chisora-Helenius II in October or November, Vitali would fight the Arreola-Stiverne winner then Retire either win or lose (If its Arreola he fights, I see a In-shape, Hungry and Motivated Arreola either beating faded Vitali or giving him hell), if he wins and retires i would like to see Wladimir vs Haye/Pulev/Fury for the WBA, WBO, IBF, Ring Magazine and vacant WBC title to see who is the undisputed champion. Thats the way it should be but very unlikely lol I can ensure he was, is and will be hungry, that's the only sure thing about Arreola:cool2:

For the first time, you and I are in total agreement, Tunney. I never said Haye is not good fighter. He is,very good,except Klits probably (It's either him or Pulev that's why I'm so pumped with this fight) the best HW out there.His attitude is what pisses me off.

Right, like he did with Valuev? Valuev was a freak; 7'2, 310lbs with an iron head. Fury is tall, but he's got a very suspect chin, his defence stinks and he doesn't have anywhere near enough speed for Haye to make up for those things like Wlad does. Fury and Price would be very easy, and early, wins for Haye IMO.

Haye would crucify Fury. Right, like he did with Valuev?

This would be VERY good. I think Haye would take this on a late stoppage, but it would be a tough fight and great for the division. If it happens, I await certain people who have built Pulev as someone Haye would never fight to now bring him down as a 'hypejob' if Haye wins.

Ya, I heard all easy opponents for Haye in June...Fight not happening. Hayes not in boxing to fight the best, just get a belt. His people are just send up smoke screens to make it look that way.

Oh never mind your right.....well a fight with Tyson Fury in London would be a big show and he said he would do two fights and then Klitschko. Haye could knock out Fury definitely. Haye would crucify Fury.
