HBO approves Chagaev, but not July 11th date

[BetterCallSaul]

It sounds as though the cards are falling in place for a June 20th Klitschko-Chagaev fight and the Haye fight is becoming less and less likely. And you know something? I'm happy for that- David Haye never earned his shot and conducted himself unprofessionally the whole time during the lead up to the fight...

How is the Ibrabimov - Wlad dvd?

[Mikhnienko]

someone mentioned Haye possibly fighting the Cameron-Tua winner.

If Haye fought Tua, even at his age, i imagine it'd look alot like Tua-Ruiz

You're probably right, but it's either that or more tomato cans - the latter won't help his falling stock at all. Tua is a live, dangerous opponent. If he polishes off Cameron, he'll be rightfully looking for a way back into the HW majors mix.

If Haye has any balls, he should go for one of these big names when he's fit to compete. Fighting someone completely unproven like Kevin Johnson is a double-edge sword - damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

Tua has become largely irrelevant to the hw scene and I doubt a win over fringe contender Shane Cameron gets him back in the mix. David Tua has been the biggest disappointment in the heavyweight because of his seemingly 'lack of interest' in boxing...

Also, the Cameron fight might not even take place. It's scheduled for Oct (WTF?) and the longer the wait to the actual fight, the more likely it is for a fighter to get injured...

Are you serious?

Wlad vs Chag?

WTF.

It's going to be over in 5 rounds, trust me.

[Mr. Philadel]

I'm over Wlad-Haye being called off.........and now that I think about it this might be a good fight........NOT!!!!!........Wlad by KO in a blow out.......or Wlad might just torture poor Chagaev to give the fans their € worth!!

I prefer Chagaev, for the Ring belt, and so he will have enough time to fight Povetkin by Sep 13/09 and keep his IBF belt.

People who have been here awhile have learned that I don't post bull****. I often dig information up before there's official announcements - I haven't been wrong yet.

You deserve credit for coming up with a lot of good research Tunney.

there has been like 4 other threads saying hbo doesnt wanna pick this fight up, who do i belive here?

[gingeralbino]

Wlad v Chagaev is the next best fight after Haye. If they arent waiting on Haye then u cant discredit Wlad for taking him on. He's getting the chance to become the ring champion (I dont really agree with that but whats my opinion worth in the sceme of things!)
Hope Haye gets a good fight, let him fight Bigfoot for a laugh. Or the nipple.

Is no one else tired of Russians and guys that end their name in Vs fighting for the heavyweight title.I hate to say it but heavyweight boxing needs Haye.Me and alot of other fans won't buy another pay per view with the same Russian Pollocks(Polocks,Polaks) fighting each other.
