I always did prefer to read CompuBox numbers than to actually watch a fight.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. The Klit Bros. fight like robots and are statistical giants.

Because although it was a **** contract... a very dodgy one that tells you what the Klitschko's are like, it was the only way of Haye getting a fight with Wladomir and a shot at that title... he is practically fighting for free just to get those titles and I respect him for that.
David Haye has been crying to the media that he doesn't like the contract he signed to fight Wladimir. He especially hates the two rematch clause. Why, then, did he sign?
Was he forced to? No, he decided to.
Does an intelligent man sign a contract he doesn't want to sign?
Why didn't he earn his title shot like Thompson, Povetkin and JC Gomez did, by fighting in a final eliminator?
You can't take away the fact that what they are trying to do is wrong and that its a dodgy contract.
At the end of the day, you can't say that Wladomir offered him that contract because Haye disrespected him because that's bull**** (yeah Haye did disrespect him, but that is not an excuse for the contract)... why has Wladomir basically said "If you beat me I want a rematch [fair enough], and if you beat me again you have to fight my big brother!"
The reason Haye signed is because he desperately wants that Heavyweight title, and is willing to accept such a **** contract... he is entitled to moan about it even if he signed (to an extent, I don't want to hear him bitching on it every day though).Comment

Why couldn't he go through a final eliminator, like Thompson and Povetkin did, and EARN the shot at TWO world titles?
The WBO would likely have set him up in a final eliminator with Arreola of Dimitrenko. He could have perhaps fought in the next WBC final eliminator.
Why did he need to take a shortcut? Beggars can't be choosers.Comment

lol this topic is mad true.......smart patient guys like hopkins would have never signed and worked their way up the ladder......david haye knows his best chance at the championship is now because he cant go thru everyone at heavyweight......maybe hes getting screwed over money which i dont like but tell me what 3 fights are bigger then against the klitchkos...Comment

You know, in a perfect world (or in a "Rocky" movie), this thing would have naturally played out in real life instead of at the negotiating table before the first fight even happens. Wlad loses and his brother sticks up for him and all the other plot twists come into play and we get to enjoy it all as boxing fans.
As it stands, the Klits now have a guarantee to have three tries to beat Haye. Like I said, good for them for negotiating that. Who knows... maybe Haye beats Wlad twice or Wlad/Vitali and never gives the Bros. a rematch. But if he does beat them both convincingly, they still get another shot. Yes, that favors the two-headed monster that are the Klits. If Klit fans want to celebrate that, then they can celebrate that. But it also gives people another reason not to like them.
If we're lucky, this thing turns into an exciting and memorable trilogy. That would be great. Plus, the Klit fans could then say, "See, wasn't it great for the Klits to demand the two rematches clause?"
Having said this, Wlad should beat Haye. It will be a major upset if he doesn't, IMO. But, yeah, I'm rooting for the underdog.Comment
