HBO are sick. They turned down Froch-Taylor and Clottey-Williams as well. They should be lined up against a wall and shot.

Bull ****! Wlad is ***en garbage! Hbo knows what they are doing! They know nobody wants to see him unless its against haye or arreola. I will never again watch any klit fight unless its against haye or chris. They have ruined this garbage division! They have turned people away from the heavyweight division! They boring ass fights do nothing for boxing or hbo. I don't care if its for the ring belt, its still a boring ass fight that very few want to wacth or care about. We want exciting memorable fights. This is going to be another slow, stand right in front of me while I jab you and make people change the channel. **** the heavyweight division sucks!! Haye and arreola are the divisions only hope to get some interest back into this garbage division. Son of a ***** it kills me when I think that this division once had a tyson, lewis, hollyfield, foreman, bowe not too long ago giving us great fights!!!!! I cant even think of the last exciting hw fight I've seen. The last hw fight I cared about before this haye vs wlad was roy vs ruiz. I hope wlad gets knocked the *** out!

When was the last time Haye sold out a smaller venue?

Wlad has never fought in a huge football stadium before, but unlike Haye, he has sold out every venue he's fought during the past few years.

Wow! Just wow! This is just ******! Haye is the reason this was going to be in a football stadium! If you cant admit that then ur lost. The heavyweight division NEEDS haye and arreola!

***** move by Wlad, what a *****!

He will be ****ing esctatic that he's found a way out of this fight. I expected him to beat Haye soundly but he never wanted any of him.

That is why he signed to fight him?

Haye was not a mandatory, it was going to be a voluntary defence. Wlad chose to fight Haye. Nobody was making him do it.

Remind me, who pulled out of the fight again?

Some of you people are really ******.

[STILL_DETOX]

i guess haye will have to earn his title shot the hard way... maybe fight more than once a year

couldnt have said any better myself

[TheManchine]

absolutely knew he would take this fight..what a disgrace ducking Haye..Why not wait 3 weeks?
Anyone know if this will be on Setanta?

Wlad is ducking Haye yet Haye was the one who withdrew 2 weeks before the fight?

Firstly they said it was a hand injury and now it's a back injury? Seems like they don't even know.

Three weeks was what Haye said, but he was lying.

His doctors said he wouldn't be ready until July 25th at the earliest. Read boxingscene's front page article:

Like I've said, Tunney, you have to remember some people just plain don't like how tactical and methodical Kiltschko is. They want the fast paced action of a Tyson- and would prefer violent endings in fights with the big boys over skill or technique. In that sense, lots of people are very excited about the style Haye is bringing more than even the man himself; though even his attitude is a sharp contrast to Klitschko's.

My point is, some people just don't give a **** about the heavyweight division. Klitschko-Changaev is more consequential for the division, and probably boxing as a whole. You can dispute if Ruslan belongs in the spot he is, with the belt he has, and the ranking and esteem he posseses, but that's the division's fault- not Klitschko's.

The fact is, Wladimir is fighting the best opponent, on paper, that is available. Haye, while I'd like to see him fight Klitschko, hasn't proven where he stands at the weight and it was a fight which had anticipation based not on likelihood so much as speculation; how was Haye going to look?

It's pointless to argue with anyone calling Wladimir a ***** for fighting Changev when he wasn't even the one who backed out of the scheduled fight date, because obviously the Haye fight can still happen at a later date and mean more if Haye doesn't display he's too small for the weight and that the Klitschko fight was pointless.

The best fight for history, the respect of his achievement outside the boxing elite's knowledge, and his overall career is obviously to take the WBA heavyweight championship. There should never be an arguement over unification in my eyes; despite how weak you argue the champion is. Having one, undisputed beast in a weight class only helps clear things up for the division and its obvious Klitschko is still in need of gaining fan support.
