Klitschko vs. Chagaev is Set For June 20 in Germany

[RimmyDelicious]

Let Me Get This Straight...

-Haye moves up from cruiser, beats Monte Barrett (who was not ranked in the top 25 by ANY boxing organization prior to signing to fight Haye)

-Haye screams for and gets a fight with Wlad

-Haye talks garbage about Wlad being a pu$$$y for months, says he will decapitiate him

-Haye pulls out with 2 weeks to go with a SORE BACK. NOT A STRAIN, NOT A PULL, NOT A HERNIATED DISK, A SORE BACK.

-Wlad finds the only heavyweight in the world not named Klitschko in the top 3 ranked heavyweights in the world

-Wlad will fight Chagaev, making himself the Ring and Linear heavyweight champion


AND YOU MORONS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT? IS IT RACISM? IS IT ******ITY? IS IT BOTH?

[Drunken Cat]

Maybe ESPN2 can put it on. It would be quite a coup to get the fight for the first recongized heavyweight championship fight since Lewis retired. As popular as Klitschko-Haye would be, this is by far a more important fight in the heavyweight division.

What a coincidence that the last heavyweight championship fight was under such similar circumstances. I guess that a true heavyweight championship fight has become a match-up of last resort.

[ACHlLLES]

No American television broadcaster will pick this fight up not even espn!!! Chagaev fought like **** in his last fight and looked like an utter joke, he looked like he had the swine-flu virus! Hbo knows something is up, I think Chagaev has been fighting with injuries and maybe ill for all we know. I don't know, I'm personally not liking the new opponent for this fight.

[The Hammer]

quit crying, after Chagaev - wlad has to fight Povetkin.. and you'll get Haye vs Wlad before New Year for sure.

Be happy Haye can gain more mass and be 100% ready by December or so

There will be two mandatories: IBF mandatory Povetkin, then the WBO mandatory which is the winner of Chambers-Dimitrenko.

Haye will now need to earn his title shot!

[IIG]

This fight will be even more sought out in Germany than it was when Haye was the opponent. All the fans that don't like the fight but bought tickets, need to get their money back and get out the way. David Haye talked an endless amount of ****, so I'm glad Wladimir took no pity on him. His dreams got KO'd and that might be more crushing than what was physically going to happen to him on the 20th. I hope Haye has to crawl up the Heavyweight division ladder to earn a fight against either Klitschko, though I'm certain he would lose before he made it that far.

I would have preferred Wlad to take on Valuev, but the offer of the Ring championship makes the fight with Chagaev too good to pass up. Besides Vitali, he's the next top Ring rated Heavy, and since the Klitschko brothers won't and shouldn't fight, this bout makes perfect sense. Screw HBO for televising Klitschko against Brewster, Tony Thompson, and Hasim Rahman, but acting like bitches over this fight. If you want to talk about "World Championship Boxing," that's exactly what this fight is. Though the action won't be as explosive as Klitschko-Haye, June 20th just got a lot more interesting for me.

Finally so now i can claim my monies back for my tickets because am not watching this **** no disrespect to Wlad/Chagaev but i only book this fight because of Haye, Just saved myself £350 for flight,hotel and tickets..

Are you a real boxing fan, or just a Haye nuthugger?

[KILLA RIGHT]

ffffffuuuuuccckkkkkkkkkkk the heavy division the only reason i was gonna watch the klit is because of haye because he's actually exciting wether u like him or not. It was just 3 more ****en weeks

[TEDetc]

Are you a real boxing fan, or just a Haye nuthugger?

A real boxing fan, hence why he isn't going to watch this ****ing snooze-fest of a fight.

[DGP]

how is wlad ducking haye haye pulled out of the fight not wlad if haye didnt get injured this fight would be on in 2 weeks

[Boxing Scene]

Wlad flip flopped for months pulling out all sorts of crazy demands, really wanted his big bro to take care of business for him but WBC ordered him to fight his mando, JCG. Wlad reluctantly took the fight in a contract that if Haye won he had to fight either one of the Klitschko's not one but two more times! Then Haye genuinely gets injured and asks for the fight to be delayed just 3 weeks and Wlad gets out of there ASAP.....pathetic. I've nothing against Wlad but he's ducking Haye.

How the **** do you duck someone who BACKED OUT OF A FIGHT WITH YOU?

You need to wake up dude.
