Vitali Klitschko: “David Haye is already in Don King’s basket”

[Bobby Shaw]

Haye was hardly hit the whole fight yet everytime he moved forward he would connect his shots.Even robbers know when to stop the robbery.Vitali wanted to see a perpetuation of German robbery,what a jealous man he is.

[ChopperRead]

I don't see where Vitali says any such thing. Yiou must be reading a different article. If Haye wanted to fight Vitali all he had to do was sign on the dotted line. But he chose to fight a much inferior fighter in Valuev, and still didn't look that good. He'll be lucky to beat Ruiz if he doesn't look a lot better than he did against Barrett and Valuev.

[Bobby Shaw]

Ye yadda yadda you ****en ******.
Vitali wanted options on Haye's fights yet he has never done that with any other fighter.What does that say about Vitali.He didnt even want Haye to get any money yet Haye sold out that German stadium.Anyone with common sense would not sign the dotted line under such circumstances.Now Haye has a belt,the contractual negotiations are on an equal platform plus he can even come in as a mandatory.

If Vitali was so good how come he refused to fight Valuev?

[Savino]

Realistically how many shots do you think Valuev landed?
How many do you think Haye landed?
Who landed more power shots?
Who hurt the other?

N.B fights dont get scored for moving foward if you are not connecting.We have a term for such,nice try but not good enough

agreed and when Holyfield fought Valuev, Evander was gettin hit with alot of shots. Valuev landed alot more shots on Holyfield than he did Haye.

Haye pussied out of two or more fights with the best, Wlad and Vitali. As for "options," you think Don King doesn't get options on voluntary title defenses? Get ready for Haye versus Ruiz, Haye versus Valuev II (if he beats Ruiz -- not a sure thing), Haye versus Valuev III, and so on. Vitali will be retired by the time Haye is ready to fight him. Even Wlad will be in his later 30s. There will be no Haye-Vitali fight next year, any more than there was one this year. Haye is just blowing smoke. How does Haye versus Touch of **** Williamson sound?

U r correct.

That is how Don King operates.

By milking the division with crap fights.

This Bobby Shaw needs to learn more boxing education from u.

[jisi]

As a promoter Wlad/Vitali/Boente ain't better than the rest...but they always try to make it out as if they are such good guys and the blame is always on their business partners in negotiations...

They are better because the Klitschkos step into the ring and they have the right of a rematch clause.

Sauerland is a promoter and manager!

Why had Valuev no rematch clause? Did Sauerland fight or King?

Vitali is right.

[slimshandy69]

You are missing the point entirely. It was a close fight and usually Valuev wins close fights in Germany (see: Holyfield, Ruiz). The fact that Valuev didn't get this decision indicates that something has changed, and Vitali figures King called the shots. As for the fight itself, it wasn't much different than Froch-Dirrell, with Froch coming forward and missing all night and Dirrell running and buzzing Froch a couple of times. Who won that fight?

ahahaha what a **** post, please link me the round that dirrell buzzed froch...infact link me a round from yoytube that dirrell actually won...thanks...

As for this its obvious that don king paid the judges off, ruiz and holyfield did far better jobs than haye...yet lost...

That really does sound awful!

Just need to add an ancient Holyfield to that list!

I'm not getting my hopes up for any Haye-Klitschko showdown...modern boxing politics is such a pain.

[handsome1-1]

haye is a pile of crap, nothing but a big mouth..the fight was worst fight of the decade, he ran all nite and not throwing ****all, valuev was a pile of crap too but he should ve won, he dids alot more than haye...as far as vitali goes, haye lost his balls when he was supposed to fight him, vitali will kick the **** out of haye easy....heavyweight is **** anyway and now even ****ter with champion like haye...
