He has won strap by beating Chris Byrd and he had to wait for the division to get that little bit weaker before he could challenge for another. And just when he looked like he might go looking for unification against real dangerous fighters his big brother steps in to scupper that and take away a fight against a guy who dropped him three times.
The heavyweight division is atrocious right now, the Ring has Nikolai Valuev ranked fourth for pete's sake! Sure, Wlad is far and away the best at Heavyweight right now, but even if you're the king of mediocrity you're still mediocre!
The reason that Haye is interesting is that he's the first interesting thing to happen in the Heavyweight division for years! I mean James Toney talked smack but noone could understand him, Valuev had a lot of knockouts but that's only because his handlers had to dig his opposition out of the ground before each fight, Shannon Briggs had personality but watching his fights was like removing wallpaper.
But you are so threatened by Haye because all of a sudden your monosyllabic safety first fighter who relies on bad opposition rather than on taking chances looks to be exceedingly boring!
