More Difficult Challenge for Haye, Vitali or Wlad...

[Chunk..]

YOu got to be ****ting me, it was Haye who went for Vitaly instead of Wlad.

Wlad called him out and he was nowhere to be seen.

Which brother showed up in London to watch Haye fight Barrett?

Here's a clue, it wasn't Wlad?

And this means what?


Wlad openly requested to see Haye, and David openly backed out of the fight to go for the older fighter.

But I suppose thats what all the "great" british fighters go for, the older guy who either fought once in last 4 years or just been out of his prime for a while.
Calzaghe, Hatton, Lewis, you name them.

Haye was calling out Wlad everywhere he went. Wlad never showed any interest in the fight. He claimed Haye has yet to prove anything at HW. Vitali then stepped in, and Haye said "**** it". Wlad NEVER had any intentions to fight Haye. Do u not remember Vitali's comment? "I'll knock out Haye for my brother"

Who showed up to watch Wlad fight Rahman? David Haye! Wlad never had any intentions on fighting Haye.

Well, you are either misinformed or just a bull****er, anyway, an argument with the likes of you is about as good as with any other fanatic, so just go play somewhere else.

Vitali is the sturdier of the bros,his chin will always see him favoring his bro in my eyes!A high workrate will fluster Wlad,Haye has that,Vitali is a little more robotic but thats where his tougher stance comes in!!

The months leading up to the Haye-Barrett fight, Haye said he would fight either brother on numerous occasions to the media. ''I'll fight either brother, whoever wants the fight''

Vitali shows up to watch Haye fight Barrett, not Wlad.

I could be putting 2 and 2 together and making 186 but i don't think i am?!?

Wlad didn't want it, Vitali did.

According to an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Haye said, “Neither of them [Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko] has the speed I can show them and they are both vulnerable…Give me Wladimir first, then I’ll take on the older brother.”

i'm off the haye bandwagon.

i don't like how he didn't work on any of his defense at all while jumping to heavy. he fought the same way against barrett as he did against cruisers. not good.

no way he beats vitali unless vitali is completely shot and vitali still looks okay in the peter fight.

wlad he has a chance. vitali no chance at all with vitali's good chin.

Need more proof Brooklynbomber?

Wladimir Klitschko’s (51-3, 45 KOs) 11th round TKO victory over challenger Tony Thompson (31-2, 19 KOs) last Saturday night in Hamburg, Germany, heavyweight hopeful David Haye told Setanta Sports that he wasn’t at all impressed with Wladimir’s victory, saying “All he does is hold and paw with his jab…every time he’s gotten in there with someone fast, someone with heart, he [Wladimir] has been knocked out. I’m that guy.”

Haye (21-1, 20 KOs) went on to say that he’s disparate to fight Wladimir first, “before someone else knocks him out before me.” Haye was very critical of how Wladimir fought against Thompson, commenting that “if he fought me the same way he fought Thompson, he’d have gotten knocked out in three rounds.”


For the past few months, Haye, 27, has been eagerly pursuing a bout with Wladimir, whom he sees at the number #1 heavyweight in the division at this point. Wladimir, though, hasn’t been equally as interested in giving Haye a fight, instead telling him to fight some people before he starts looking for a title shot. Haye, however, hasn’t given up his interest in landing a fight with Wladimir, and has continued to both criticize and call him out almost on a daily basis in the media.

Unlike most of the fighters that want to fight Wladimir, Haye has a voice in the media given his huge popularity in England and elsewhere in the world. This isn’t something that Wladimir can ignore simply and then have it die down for lack of media attention. Haye has been getting a tremendous amount of attention with his challenges to Wladimir and will continue in the future to get attention.
Wladimir, however, hasn’t shown any signs of weakening, though he doesn’t really have much choice now anyway, because he has a mandatory challenger, Alexander Povetkin, the IBF mandatory challenger that Wladimir must face next. After that, it’s up to him whoever he wants to face, which if Haye is still calling him out, it may likely be him.

Haye hasn’t decided on who his next fight will be at heavyweight, apparently nailing it down to 10 heavyweights. In the past two weeks, there have been reports of him fighting Monte Barrett. However, Haye ruled that out on Saturday night, saying that Barrett wasn’t popular enough, he hadn’t ever beaten any top fighters and that he was a “journeyman” and because of that, a fight with him wouldn’t interest the boxing fans. Haye said that whoever he does face, he’ll be a top 10 contender in the heavyweight division. He doesn’t want to take a lowly guy, like most heavyweights, as he wants to make a name for himself by fighting only the top guys.

In that regard, if he’s at all successful, Haye may quickly find himself as the most fan friendly and popular heavyweight in the division even without a title. However, he’ll be much better off if he can knock off a title, even if it’s WBA heavyweight title, which is currently held by Ruslan Chagaev. I doubt, however, Haye would be interested in pursuing that title, as he seems to want nothing less than the titles held by Wladimir.
