So running from a fight with Vitali and then talking smack like he would beat him is common sense? Haye obviously isn't living in the real world.

VK would blast Haye. Val is an easier fight.

Not taking a beating is common sense. Surely?

Haye has more bargaining power if he has belt around his waist.

Yes. He knew he couldn't beat Vitali, and took an easier fight.

Haye would have been brutally KOed on Sep 12, but he'll likely win a decision over the lumbering Valuev.

And to think some idiot boxing writers once compared the then 48-0 record of Valuev to Marciano.

Valuev has faced a lot of soft opposition...

But he seems slower now than he was in 2005-06 - he looked better against Barrett and Beck. Huge men sometimes age faster.

So he could actually earn a living by getting paid a decent amount for taking part in a heavyweight title fight rather than the bull**** offers he got from the Klitschko's and all the rematch bollocks clauses that went with them
