Haye doesn't deserve a fight with Vitaly. In my opinion he needs to look spectacular against Chisora to get Vits. If Vitaly chooses to retire before this fight can be made...so be it. Haye will only have himself to blame. He should have been fighting top 10 fighters after losing to Wlad instead of "retiring" and trying to get the fight by running his mouth.Comment

And Charr is?Haye doesn't deserve a fight with Vitaly. In my opinion he needs to look spectacular against Chisora to get Vits. If Vitaly chooses to retire before this fight can be made...so be it.

Vitali was running is mouth saying how he was desperate to KO Haye.
Why talk when you have no intention in backing it up.Comment

Charr is a nobody....a cherry pick. And I don't agree at all with Vitaly's talk of Haye, but that doesn't mean David deserves the fight. Lets see how he looks against Chisora first.Comment

Chisora won 5 rounds in that fight, the judges were just influenced by the crowd because they cheered even when Vitali landed on gloves or missed. Chisora put in more work and won more rounds than he was given credit for. Watch the fight again and you'll see. On neutral grounds that would be scored as a close fight by the judges with Vitali just edging it by 2 rounds.Comment

That's your opinion. I didn't have Chisora winning more than 3 rounds, 4 at max. If you watch the fight you might notice that, although Chisora was very busy and often in the center of the ring, he rarely hit Vitali.Chisora won 5 rounds in that fight, the judges were just influenced by the crowd because they cheered even when Vitali landed on gloves or missed.

Age wasn't a factor for Vitali one fight ago. Why has it suddenly become one now?Originally posted by Freedom.His legacy shouldn't be important to him anyway, because a lot of people will NEVER respect him no matter who he beats.
The same people didn't complain when Larry Holmes fought Butterbean in his farewell fight.
Give Vitali a break - he's age 41. His opponent is age 27, 21-0 and ranked WBC #11.Comment

He showed his age in the Chisora fight, especially in the later rounds. Mind you, he's still very good, but not the heavyweight destroyer he was at a younger age.
And as I've said before many times on here, a younger Vitali would have stopped Briggs and probably Kevin Johnson, and taken Sosnowski out in an early round.
The last fight Vitali looked to still be in his prime was the Arreola fight when he was age 38.Comment
