    Wladimir Klitschko .vs. David Haye - The Long Promotion?

    The more I think about the Klitschko-Haye situation, the more I feel that it would make sense if a deal is basically in place already. Haye takes Harrison, a no-risk, big British hype fight opponent that establishes him even more as a crossover star in the UK. Klitschko takes Chisora, a no-risk British fighter that gets him on a PPV card in the UK (albeit coupled with the Khan-Maidana fight) and gets him exposure in the UK amongst more casual fans. Both fighters get an opponent that works well as a tune-up; in Harrison a big guy with a danger shot and a long reach, in Chisora a shorter guy with decent speed and an offensive style - not perfect matches by any stretch, but reasonable.

    It seems even more possible considering the talk of the Klitschko camp now concentrating on finishing a deal for a Haye fight. This isn't me saying that they already have signatures or even a complete agreement, but it seems that both fighters have been doing their part to build up a potential fight to be massive on UK PPV and reach maximum potential.

    Am I reading too much into things? Thoughts?

    Thats possible, I been saying it for a while that every great fighter needs a good rivalry, not just a good fight, but a rivalry that will make him remembered. Both Klitschko and Haye are playing their face/heel dance to get that.
