Comments Thread For: Klitschko-Wach: Conflicting Statements on Fight Status

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Ok Dirk, tell me what other fight makes more money and interest besides Haye for Wlad??

It wouldnt make that much more money than any other fight because Haye is simply an opponent now without a belt and without UK public or PPV backing. It wouldnt be worth it to Wlad to fight Haye right now.

So who should Wlad fight then that would bring in good money, decent opposition and interest that would equal Haye then??

[uoykcuf]

Is Jedi Haye's promoter or Haye himself.

Either way Haye should have to earn a Wlad fight back, and Vitali offered Haye a fight.

Finkel says Wlad will be fighting in November, but not against Wach:

I dont want to see Wach vs Wlad, Wach isnt that good and I dont buy the hype. His technique is sloppy (better than Fury's, worse than Wlads) and his KO% isnt that good, he just knocked out a fat McBride who was a punching bag.

But who is there else to fight? They have cleaned out the division and people dont even wanna fight them anymore and would rather fight amongst themselves for the "normal" belt as most of the commisions just gave them a "super" belt and told them to step aside.

Wlad should just fight any young prospect who still has his "0" and pad the record. Better than staying inactive and losing your prime.

and David Haye? no thanks, David Haye proved that he is all talk, if you thought he was running in the first fight, wait till you see the rematch.

I dont really know. Maybe Povetkin if he mans up.

Edit: Why not James Toney?

Klitschko vs Wach a No-Go for 2011; Wach Returns in October


The parties of Mariusz Wach and Wladimir Klitschko have decided to go different routes, with Klitschko proceeding with another opponent in November and Wach returning in October.


Wach (25-0, 13 KO) of North Bergen, NJ by way of Krakow, Poland is coming off his career best performance, a fourth round knockout of Kevin McBride last weekend.

Said Global Boxing CEO Mariusz Kolodziej: “We will proceed with another fight for Wach. Hopefully we can do it in 2012.”

Some viable opponents for Wladimir Klitschko:

Jean Marc Mormeck- There was some interest in this fight earlier in the year as it would possibly take place in France.

Chris Arreola- Has fought frequently and has improved condition wise but hasn't faced a top 10-20 opponent. His next fight is in September so there would be enough time for him to prepare for Wlad in Nov.

Winner of Thompson-Chambers- The winner becomes Wlad mandatory IBF challenger. Not too much interest by the boxing public in either guy as both have not looked impressive as of late.

Siarhei Liakhovich- If he beats top ranked contender Robert Helenius later this month then he'd be a bonafide contener (again) and deserving of a title shot.

David Tua- If he beats Monte Barrett later this month then his name recognition may be able to sell a fight with Klitschko.

If Tua knocks out Barrett I could see him getting a shot, but he'll have to look very good. Doesn't seem likely.

Mormeck is done and Wach would have a better chance than this guy.

Don't know about the others being ready by November.
