Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko, David Haye: Who is To Blame?

[adp023]

David Haye added: “If the fight doesn’t happen now, it never will. I’m done with the Klitschkos. I know I can retire later this year with my head held high, knowing I did everything in my power to make these fights happen. I’ve had defining fights and beaten the best in the world as a cruiserweight, but, without me, Wladimir can never say he’s done the same as a heavyweight.”

That idiotic statement SAYS IT ALL!!!

Haye's whining about things that should have never been up for debate: Wlad's name goes first, he enters ring second, picks his gloves and his doctor. Wlad is the champ, Haye the challenger. Why is any of this up for discussion?

And everyone knows that Wlad has always tried to fight three times per year. Unambitious challengers have someytimes gotten in the way of this, and in 2010 it was the injury in November that reduced his appearances. But waiting eight months for a fight was always haye's agenda, never Wlad's. Haye should take a March voluntary defense with the Wlad fight already signed. He needs more wins at HW to be taken seriously anyway.

Exactly. Adam Booth has spun it so well in the UK press, calling formalities like that "demands". Saying Haye has "bent over backwards" to allow Wlad to come in 2nd. And people are actually buying it.

Because unlike Haye, Wlad is an honorable man.

He promised Dereck Chisora a fight.

Lol what? Don't be daft if they had gotten the go ahead on the April date they wanted Wlad would be saying Dereck who?!

They're both as bad as each other now imo.

it sounds to me both can be blamed for the on again off again fight....good article...neither is afraid & maybe haye with his retirement talk hurt himself....sky has every right to make him the 2nd choice considering khan will be around for awhile...

Now my question to you, Khan vs Peterson and Wlad vs Haye are on tv at the same time and the same day but different channels, which fight will you be watching?

two guys aren't afraid to run or two guys who genuinely dislike each other

it's common sense,

this **** is hurting boxing big time.

Exactly. Those kinds of formalities go on in most title fights.

Booth is playing on the public's general ignorance of these matters to make it look like Wlad is doing something out of the ordinary.

He isn't.

Booth and Haye are slimy carnival barkers.

All insiders know why Adam Booth is furious: Because he knows that if the Klitschko vs Chisora fight goes ahead, Haye will have to take on a mandatory challenger or face having the WBA title stripped. The only good thing for Haye is that after that mandatory fight Haye has no further options with his German promoter Sauerland.

And if Chagaev comes prepared and focused (unlike his last fight against Travis Walker, where he obviously didn't do either), he will be a tough out for David Haye.

Even against Walker, Chagaev still demonstrated remarkably quick hands and a good chin. Not Haye's ideal opponent before Wlad, but given his last farcical defense, he deserves a tough one this time.

That idiotic statement SAYS IT ALL!!!

Haye is also admitting that he hasn't done what he said he'd do as a heavyweight.

Which should be obvious to anyone paying attention.

Wlad and Vitali are playing chess and Haye and Booth are playing checkers.

They are using Haye's artificial "retirement deadline" against him now, and why not?

There is no real reason Haye HAS to retire this year, other than some silly vow he made to his buddy Adam Booth.

It's bull****, and the K-Bros are calling him on it by putting the pressure on and forcing Haye into a corner.

It seems like the Hayelovers are mentally challenged, they couldn't understand the concept of 50/50 and now this. You all can't read? Wlad WANTS to fight on July 2nd, it's Diva Hayefaker that REFUSES to sign the fight for July 2nd. How is that hard to understand?

[The Nimble Guru]

Wlad Klitschko, you massive P*SSY.
