HAYE was smart to Fight VALUEV instead...

[Kball15]

From what i hear, Klitschko was making Haye sign a deal that would tie him up for over a year, including a rematch and a fight with his brother or some ****.

Valuev is a champion, so if Haye is able to beat him (and I think he will) then Haye will have much more leverage in the negotations against the Klitschkos, and wont have to sign some ridiculous multi-fight deal. Both Klitschkos have talked about their desire to unify so...

Haye has handled it terrible, but a simply message the media and an explanation could go a long way to making sure bussiness can be done in the future with the klitschkos

AND on top of that, he will learn to deal with the extreme height disadvantage that he will face against either Klitschko

Yeah, because beating Valuev prepared Chagaev immensely for his fight with Wlad.

yeah but say haye wins...do u think the klitschko brothers would even be willing to hear out a fight with haye after the **** he's already done to both? Haye said he could and would beat both brothers so why is he tripping on the contract? it guarantees him to be in the biggest 3 heavyweight fights possible!!!!

Chagaev was a shell of his former self. He was a different fighter before his injuries. His knees were shot how mobile could he be against Wlad

agreed...vitali would of wooped his ass...i thought haye was serious in his first speech after cleanin up cruiserweight stating he wanted to bring excitement to the heavyweight division but he's just been a complete failure...i can't back him anymore

[joe strong]

you klitschko fans are dilusional! Of course they will fight him! If he beats valuev do you know how much $$$$ will be at stake? I gaurentee haye won't back out then.face it people don king punked the klitschkos & haye would be an idiot not to fight haye 1st.it makes total buisness sense for haye.it's just now the playing field will be equal when negotiations start.haye doesn't back out if king don't offer him a sweetheart deal.do you remember the foreman/Ali? Foreman was to fight someone else & don king offered foreman 5 million back then( unheard of $ back then)& George was all over it like a fat kid on a smarty.

Shell of his former self. Knees shot huh? Wonder how he was able to get himself in the best shape and lowest weight he'd been in over 4 1/2 years. Weightwatchers?

So fighters have to be 100% now to lose weight. Chagaev looked horrible against Drummond and Wlad. Losing pounds will not take him back to the fighter he was.
