    neither wanted to fight the other.

    it was a strange mutual double duck, where they both want to maintain its the other guy,

      Haye's talk of retirement just shows me he really isn't that serious about wanting to get this done. What is maybe another 6 months in the sport where he does nothing most likely other than eventually fight Wlad maybe next January lets say?
      The honest truth is: Haye just used the Klitschkos for self-promotion and never wanted to fight them in the first place.

      I don't think he enjoys boxing, that's why despite being healthy he doesn't fight often.

      I doubt if he'll retire in October though. He'll want another good payday or two before he's done. Maybe he bring old Evander Holyfield over to the UK for a fight on PPV.

        I know Tunney loves Wlad but I can't believe he's gonna sit here and pretend that Wlad wants to fight Haye.

        Everyone knows Wlad is trying to pass Haye off to the superior brother who has a steel chin and could k.o anyone in history.

        Vitali Klitschko.

        Wlad fears Haye.

          He's just smart Tunney, he knows what he's worth and proceeds accordingly. He's not gonna take chump change to fight some stiff that some corrupt obsolete alphabet organization tells him to.

          He's his own man, not a dumb slave to corrupt boxing "sanctioning" organizations.

            Everyone knows VK is a monster but c'mon I have finally read about what happened today and it seems like Wlad is the guy trying to get this done at some point at least and Haye is always coming up with some reason why he won't take the fight.

              Nothing is farther from the truth!

              Haye puts more stock in his "sanctioning" organization paper title than anyone else in the sport.

              Haye clings to that WBA belt like an insecure, mentally disturbed child clings to his security blanket.

                Basically Haye ducked the Klitschko's about 3 times. Fair is fair, if you're going to critisize one, critisize the other.

                  We have a good saying for this situation "these who want will find a way, these who dont will find an excuse"

                    I came to that conclusion.

                      I'd laugh so hard if Chagaev beat Haye. It would be all too fitting.
