If true, then why doesn't Haye fight Chagaev then? He isn't injured like Wlad is, he can fight Chagaev in march or april and take that out of the way, and he would still have plenty of time before July 2nd. That's if you really believe Haye is going to fight Chagaev (he won't he'll use the same excuse Valuev used), or that the WBA would actually strip Haye (we're talking about the organization that stripped Chagaev AFTER the fight with Wlad had happened to give it to Valuev, or that ranked Audley as soon as Haye announced he wanted to fight him).Comment

David Haye has been in some great fights...exciting fights, he has come off the canvas to win fights.
The only exciting Wlad fights are the one's where he has been knocked out in embarrassing fashion. His whole career is a snooze fest, he fights like a scared fighter, a fighter who is scared of getting hit, he only actually throws without fear once his overweight sorry excuse for an opponent has been turned into a walking corpse by his jab.
I will admit that wlad is a world class heavyweight with a lot of quality, but comparing the excitement of their fights...are you ****ing kidding me?? You haven't got a leg to stand on...Wlad is one of the most boring fighters in boxing, david haye is one of the more exciting fighters. Klitschko fans continuously prove to the world what a horrid bunch of vermin you really are.
Prior to Eman.. Wlad was known for his speed, left hook, and power. He had some great combinations and he actually had pretty decent defense. He would block punches and use head movement. Today he uses his legs and a clinch.

Klitschko and Haye have been on a collision course for the past couple of years -- since Haye famously angered Klitschko and his brother, fellow heavyweight titlist Vitali Klitschko, by wearing a T-shirt depicting him standing in the ring holding the bloody, decapitated heads of the brothers.
He finally landed a fight with Wladimir, signing to face him in June 2009, but pulled out on short notice claiming a back injury. They finally came to terms again last week for a July 2 showdown in Germany. However, England's Haye pulled out again when he refused to allow Klitschko to first fight British countryman Dereck Chisora on April 30 in a fight rescheduled from December because Klitschko suffered an abdominal tear a few days before the fight.
Klitschko, who can resume training at the end of this month, had no issue with Haye also fighting an interim bout if he wanted, but Haye wanted no intervening bouts.
Haye claimed that nine weeks between fights was not long enough to mount the promotion or to train. Klitschko disagreed, believing his fight with Chisora would serve as the de facto kick-off to the promotion.
"I don't take David Haye as a super-special fight," Klitschko told ESPN.com on Sunday from Hawaii, where he is vacationing. "I don't need a half a year to prepare for this fight. I'm always in shape anyway. Me fighting Chisora first is good promotion for the fight with David Haye because the guy is also British and very loud. It's perfect to help promote the big fight."
The reason Klitschko opted to reschedule with Chisora was because the fight with Haye couldn't take place until July 2. Klitschko hasn't fought since September and didn't want such a long layoff.
...Klitschko had proposed April 30 at a stadium in Germany. Haye accepted, but Sky wouldn't put on a second pay-per-view fight in the same month; it's already committed to an Amir Khan fight April 16. The closest date that could accommodate both networks, and that would also work with a German stadium, was July 2. They agreed to that date, but Haye and manager/trainer Adam Booth refused to allow Klitschko to first face Chisora and called off the fight.
..."Klitschko claims he'll fight both Chisora and I, but it's nonsense. Are we expected to believe that a fighter that competed only once in the whole of 2009 and twice in 2010 is now going to box twice in a matter of nine weeks? A bout with me is the most lucrative, meaningful and dangerous fight Wladimir's ever had, not some throwaway tune-up. Wladimir won't fight anybody nine weeks after Chisora, let alone me."
...The Adamek camp approached Klitschko last week and they quickly worked out the parameters for a deal under which Adamek will fight Klitschko, or Vitali if Wladimir is unavailable.
"It's not done yet, but some deals go much faster than David Haye deals," Klitschko said. "We did the Sam Peter [rematch] deal in three days. Adamek came to us and said let's do this. They were polite and respectful. So far, it looks very clear. There's no controversy in negotiations. Everything is clear and understandable."
"We agreed on the general terms but, of course, the deal is subject to the execution of a contract," Main Events' Kathy Duva, Adamek's co-promoter, told ESPN.com. "Lawyers on both sides are working on the wording of the agreement now.
...Haye is now looking to a mandatory against former titlist Ruslan Chagaev, who, ironically, was destroyed by Klitschko in June 2009 when he stepped in for Haye after had pulled out and never produced any medical paperwork confirming his claim of a back injury.
Later that summer, Haye came to terms to challenge Vitali. This time, Haye didn't sign the paperwork because he also was clandestinely negotiating a deal with titlist Nikolai Valuev. Haye took that fight and eked out a tight decision to win a belt.
Wladimir Klitschko, 34, hasn't forgotten the two incidents, which is why he insisted on taking the interim bout with Chisora. Klitschko spent months waiting for Haye in 2009, foregoing a spring bout when Haye promised to deliver a lucrative stadium deal in England. He couldn't and they wound up moving the fight to Germany before Haye bailed.
"David Haye says, 'How can Wladimir fight [twice in nine weeks] when he fought only once in 2009," Klitschko said. "He forgets. I fought once in 2009 because I relied on him. He was supposed to deliver Chelsea Stadium, so I didn't fight in March or April. I had been waiting for David in June, so I didn't take a fight in between. I didn't want to go through that again."
Klitschko said the Chisora fight was his way of hedging against Haye being a no-show again. He said he simply doesn't trust Haye to follow through on their agreement.
"The contract was just verbal, nothing written yet," Klitschko said. "If I agree he could have backed out and taken Chisora, which is a great pay-per-view for him in Britain. He could give Chagaev step-aside money and then I'm going to be there with nobody to fight [in the spring or summer]. Because of our history before, I would fight him July 2 and we would work on the contract, but I would fight Chisora first and make sure I fight.
T"hey lied to me about Chelsea Stadium in 2009, then they lied to my brother. There have a been a lot of lies from David Haye and Adam Booth. We found a date July 2 to fight him, but I don't trust these guys anymore and Chisora is a great warm-up fight for me.
"So he can have a fight in between. I don't care. But I don't trust this guy. I would fight him July 2, but I don't want to be inactive. I was champion before David Haye got into the heavyweight division and I will be champion after he retires. If he wants to fight, let him fight. But I'm doing my schedule my way. Either you will join it, or not."
Haye, 30, the former cruiserweight champion who has had four fights since moving to heavyweight full-time in late 2008, has said repeatedly that he'll retire by his 31st birthday in October.
Klitschko, a two-time titleholder who has made nine defenses during his current five-year reign, ripped Haye over the claim.
"He's telling everyone, 'I'm going to retire by the end of the year and I will have my legacy.' He's going to have a legacy for the Audley Harrison fight, the most exciting heavyweight fight in history," Klitschko said derisively, referring to Haye's third-round knockout of Harrison in November in a fight universally panned as one of the worst heavyweight title bouts in recent memory. "He has no legacy whatsoever. He has this terrible disease and he has to retire? What bull---- is that? This is total nonsense. He is playing the media. He will not retire because he's a liar, liar, liar. From the beginning to the end, he's a loser liar. That's the truth about this man.

So there you are!!!
David Haye is just a fraud who happens to cherry pick his opponents and would go all the way to make false accusations and lies against the Klitschkos whom he wanted to destroy when he so-called "invaded" the heavyweights! Only to find out that after 4-fights with past their prime fighters, he's already thinking of retiring at the age of 30. What a fraud!
What's wrong with fighting Wlad on JUly 2, when the guy is more than willing to fight him? If Wlad loses, then he doesn't have anymore excuses for it, since he has made up his mind to fight Haye on July 2, despite his fight with Chisora.
Haye's reason that Wlad won't have time to promote the July2 fight is such a crap! He's just finding ways to get out of the fight.Comment
