Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko on David Haye's legacy: 'What legacy?'

[goblin213]

I can say the same for Wlad. Seriously, I like both fighters but they haven't been fighting any of the top HWs. They both have no legacy. Vitali is the real champ and if he beats Solis he should be the lineal champion..

Says the guy who was dodged by Haye who fought Audley Harrison instead.

true, and I dont know how Haye fan boys can keep saying that Wlad dodged Haye to fight Chisora when it is fact that Haye called off the fight.For what ever cool ade excuse they want to believe that Haye and Boothe gives,in the end it was Haye who pulled the plug on the july 2nd date.

Wlad's legacy is that of the greatest heavyweight of his era.A man who has virtually cleaned his division of all credible contenders,who has consistently fought top opposition for over a decade,and a heavyweight who still appears to be at the top of his game - despite him being in his mid 30's and having fought professionally for over fourteen years.



No doubt a top ten heavyweight great at this point.David Haye could only dream of achieving the same level of success that Wlad has.

Could you name the great fighters he has beaten LOL, he is too scared to face his own brother cos he would get KO'd by him. He isn't even the best boxer in his family and has never unified the division.

I’m sick to the back teeth of both of them. Go ahead and fights bums, the general public will forget about BOTH of you in the goodness of time. You’ll be known solely for not fighting each other.

Great legacy.

Co-sign, Wlad has no legacy. He'll be remembered for getting knocked out and having no defining fight.

I'm sick of both of em.

Haye has no legacy but the bros will go down as some of the best ever they are the hw

Never did say that he had beaten any great fighters.He's put together a very good resume consisting of many good,solid contenders over the last decade.Joe Louis and Larry Holmes don't have one single win that is greater than Buster Douglas's one win over Mike Tyson,but does that mean Buster Douglas is greater than the two? Of course it doesn't.What matters most when evaluating a fighter's career is his overall resume.


The only thing a champion can do is beat who is there.Wlad has fought,beat and dominated virtually every single credible contender of his era.There was a time when a contender would jump at the chance to fight a champion for his title.In Wladimir's era,however,he has atleast two other top rated heavyweight's who are terrified of even stepping into the same ring as him.




And you really believe that he hasn't fought his brother for the sole reason that he is scared of him? Really? Do you have any quotes from Vitali that suggest that he actually wants to fight Wlad? From what I've read,it seems quite clear that neither want to fight the other.

This fight should of happened in 2009 and Haye claimed injury in reality it was due to his TV rights deal ceasing when they went out of business, now Frank Warren comes out and admits trying to set a fight up threw Booth/Haye is damn near impossible yet the Klitchko's are scalded every time, if Haye wanted either Klitchko he'd sign the bouts after all Wlad & Vitali are the big names in the HW division regardless of demands, beat either or both of them then your the man and until then you've got too bend over backwards to the champs, but I think it's more Haye/Booth (latter inparticular) who doesn't want the fight happening.

And let us not forget "says the man who canceled the july 2nd fight with wlad with the lame excuse"Wlad cannot be ready to fight him 9 weeks after he fights Chisora" pretty sad excuse

Tell me how often Wlad has fought within 9 weeks since becoming champ. I can save you the effort none.
