    Sky not wanting it in April is a good reason not to fight in April because that's both fighters main income. What's Wlad's excuse for May and June?

      I dont know what their excuse was and it doesnt matter. Just because Haye wants a date doesnt mean he should get it

      They BOTH have to agree on a date, it makes no difference when Haye wants it, but when both can have it

      July 2nd was a date they both agreed on, well until some Brit pulled out

        Because he was forced to fight his mandatory which will be in May, is that not a good enough reason?

              Champions have always had these types of fights

              Wladimir Klitschko himself has fought 29 (TWENTY NINE!) TIMES within 9 weeks. Some champions had even as many as 91 of such fights (Ezzard Charles).

              David Haye himself had such a fight.

              Some had even fights on the same day.

              Grandpa Evander Holyfield is scheduled to fight Williams and then Brian Nielsen within 42 days.

              Muhammad Ali alone HAD SIX WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS which were as close as 24 days to each other.

              Mike Tyson fought 3 times AGAINST OTHER (former) CHAMPIONS within 63 days (Holmes then Tubbs, Seldon then Holyfield, Thomas then Tucker).

              But 9 weeks is not enough for Haye?
              This is really ****** the 29 fights were all against bums and journeyman he never did it since he became champion, so how can you say champions have always had these types of fights when he never did and this is the biggest fight of his life, **** thread.

                Ok, ignore the other fighters in the opening post

                Tyson fought Holyfeild, a superfight, just 62 days after fighting Bruce Seldon.

                And as i remember they promoted it perfectly great in just 2 months and Tyson was ready and it was one of the best selling fights in History

                  He's still not THE champ.

                    Whats that got to do with a completely different fighter? Don't you find it bizarre that he's never done this in a title fight?

                      I have little doubt Haye is mainly to blame
                      BUT why risk it if you're Wlad
                      He doesn't have to wait around for Haye, sure
                      But don't give him the opportunity to run away from a fight Wlad's own fans want to see.
