One small prediction, Booth will no claim that Chagaev is too unhealthy to fight Haye, watch, that's what will happen... then post-surgery Valuev will step in for another marathon bike session.... then retirment in October. Thank you saviour of the HW division, I bet the Brits are mighty proud of you.

No because he is the Mandatory you dummy

Do you really believe that the WBA or any other alphabet organizations have any kind of integrity and even follow their own rules? If they did Haye would not even be the WBA champ Wlad would be. And anyone that believes that the WBA will strip Haye if there is still even a tiny tiny chance that he will fight Wlad is in insane. Simply because they are not going to miss out on what might possibly be the biggest payday in the HW division in the last decade. It just ain't going to happen because this is all business to them and they really care very little about the sport itself. Because if they did care about the sport they would not have a weight division at ever four pounds or so or twelve belts available in each division. And I just want to ask one more question before I close. In the history of the sport how many times do you believe the alphabet boys have been sued or had legal action threatened for skipping mandatory fights for big money fights and greener pastures?

Bad enough in a blood sport though dont you think?

All UK boxers are required to be vaccinated for Hep B.

Chagaev will not be able to fight in this country with bureacracy and red tape associated not just with boxing but every facet of life.

It just will not happen.

So, now you are left with a fight that nobody wants to see, in a country that nobody wants to see it.

If this was politics you could say Wlad played a blinder and snookered his opponent. But, this is boxing - a sport.

If Wlad did in fact play this like a game (which I suspect isn't the case, he just doesn't want a repeat of 2009 where he wasted 6 months of the year only to have Haye pull-out at the last moment) then kudos to him. Would you really blame him after all the stunts Haye pulled on him and his bro these past three years? If do, that would be mighty hypocritical of you or anyone.

It also sounds like you agree that Haye's next move will be to duck Chagaev.

[Mr. Philadel]

David Haye's manager and trainer, Adam Booth, has revealed that negotiations have begun for a mandatory defense of the WBA heavyweight title against Ruslan Chagaev at the end of May. The fight will happen in England. IBO/WBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko will defend his belts against Dereck Chisora on April 30 in Germany. If Klitschko and Haye are both victorious, a unification showdown on July 2 is possible.

Haye will hang on to that title.

Chagaev most likely wont be able to fight here. That wont be a ducking, unless you want Haye to fight him in a car park.

i don't see the big deal... everyone knows wlad will destroy chisora in april. he then will fight haye in july and adamek in sept. then prob another fight in december. what is the problem with the champ wanting to be active? who really wants the heavyweight champ to fight 1 or 2 times a year? it won't matter what wlad does or doesn't do - haye isn't stepping in the ring with him, OR vitali.

Who starts negotiating for a fight then negotiates with two other fighters?

Also factor in this guy is just getting over an injury sustained in training camp. It's unfeasible.
