Klitschko: "Haye Challenged Me, Now He Backs Out"

[D-MiZe]

I doubt Haye would back out of the biggest fight of his life.

[-Swizzy-]

Haye had serious injuries that required major surgery. Wlad is lucky Haye got injured, Haye would've destroyed him.

I fixed your post for you just to show you your hypocracy.

[Mr. Philadel]

I hope its just pushed back a couple of weeks.........I'm pissed but I would gutted if this scrap is cancelled!

[Addition]

Yeah Haye ducked Wlad , as if he would risk the biggest payday of his career.

[starjammer]

Wlad is right when he says that if the roles were reversed he would never have heard the end of it from Team Haye if he dropped out with an injury. Just imagine it. Haye would have been on every form of media calling Wlad a coward.

[PrettyBoy22]

The bad thing is it gives Bitchko a perfect excuse to cherry pick a replacement fighter for Haye and then make some excuse up to not fight. Wlad will be happy at this news deep down

[Dave Rado]

Wlad is all class man. I agree if it was Klitschko backing out, there would have been a ****storm of 'ducking' accusations.

There probably would, but that doesn't mean they'd be justified. And they're not justified the other way round either. His injury has to be independently confirmed as genuine by the British Boxing Board of Control - he can't fake it. And I don't recall Povetkin being accused of ducking Wlad when he pulled out with an injury. And Haye is trying to postpone, not cancel.

[KittenFlaps]

I don't think Haye is ducking Wlad, but it does stink of stalling. Could be Haye wants to mess with Wlad's momentum (he looked fantastic in his recent videos), or he could just want an extra month for his own training.

The entire injury thing seems highly shady to me though as it's never been disclosed exactly what the injury is, and it's already changed from hand to back.

Regardless, I want to see this fight and I hope Wlad and Haye can work something out. The only heavyweight fight I was excited about this year.

[Leo Pradun]

Haye is a piece of ****, he makes Wlad wait 2-3 months longer then he had to now this? The fight was 2 and a half weeks away now they pull out, nonsense. Wlad need to go ahead and fight somebody else

[MANGLER]

I'm sure Haye's problem is legit, but Wlad's got a right to be pissed.
