        You've only got to look at this forum to see that Haye is an attraction, any interest is better than none.

                the division needs contenders that can bring the Klits to a new level, they arent getting tested or having to change their game plan in the slightest. We know they are the best, but not how good they really are - they are just too dominant. They need to be made to feel uncomfortable in the ring to see how they react. They might rise to it, or they may crumble.

                can Haye do that? I hope so, but i just cant see it happening.

                  challengers to long reigning champions are what make a division suddenly hot so yes I think Haye is needed in the HW division much like Tito was needed at 160. Bringing new interest in a stale division should always be welcomed

                    How are they not? Their fights haven't been the most exciting in recent times because no one has managed to compete with them, and their styles don't push for an early Knockout in everyfight.

                    However, Haye is good for the division, because he brings excitement, even through his hyping fights, he draws in casual fans. I hope if him and Wlad meet, we get a bit of a tear up to put the division back into the public eye.

                      Yes, Haye was needed

                      Before Haye the division was terrible. There was no chat, no debate, nothing. A bunch of pretenders and wannabes and the two Klitschkos destroying everything. The division is still terrible, but now there's a bit more chatter and excitement about it. Haye's ran his mouth, he's beat a guy 7 STONE heavier than himself in that person's backyard, he's got a belt, it's more exciting now, undoubtedly.
