Wlad is running scared of the Hayemaker

[King Koopa]

Thompson...Thompson earned his shot at the WBO title a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago, continued to fight anyway, AND win impressively

He already beat Peter, who's not any better now than he was then
Chagaev might not get past The Giant in the rematch

Haye needs to show he can compete at heavyweight before he takes on the (seemingly) best heavyweight available, which I'm pretty sure he can...but let's see it first against a credible heavyweight

[Alec900]

wlad beats them all so it doesn't matter.chagaev gives him most problems but I think he could stop chagaev in later rounds.
haye?peter? are U kidding me

[*2TOUGH*]

So if Wlad Fights Haye.. he loses his belts for not fighting his mandatories.. then everyone starts Bitching that we need a unified Champ at HW...
Who is Haye as a HeavyWeight anyways??
He needs to bring something to the table.. right now he has nothing to offer

Undisputed Cruiser weight champion of the world!!

does that not mean anything in the heavyweight division?

No, not really. The heavyweight division is a completely different ball game.

Wlad is not scared of Haye, he's just doing the right thing, what makes the most sense at the moment, by fighting good fights and getting rid of his mandatories.

Wlad vs Haye will happen in 2009, Wlad is not ******, he knows this fight is a great moneymaker. that if Haye wins his HW debut in 2008.

No kidding, especially these days where top HWs are 240-250 lbs.

Like Hatton moving up to MW to fight Pavlik.
