Comments Thread For: Klitschko Trainer: David Haye Needs To Earn His Shot

[BattlingNelson]

You don't have to be a Haye fan. A neutral could tell you that Haye is more deserving of a title shot than Pianeta.

I can't stand motormouth, but he is a BIG DRAW in the HW division. Him and the Klitschkos are the money fights.

Did you miss that Wlad-Povetkin is the second richest ever HW fight? No way a Haye fight is worth more than 30% of that fight.

Haye is the only fighter in the division that needs to "earn" his shot at a k bro. Guys like Mormeck, Wach, Charr and Pienata gets a shot based on nothing. The double standards are pretty funny at this point.

You're missing an important piece here. Haye has to earn his second shot like Thompson did earning his second shot, or somehow make an offer that the klits cannot refuse for a volontary defense.

where did you hear that?

he did sign a 4 fight deal...charr is fight #1 & if he deposes of him in impressive fashion that would make 2 guys vitali beat that haye conquered. he would then be in position for title or eliminator. haye will have his next shot by fight #4. i don't see many HWs beating haye...realistically if a title holder wants a big payday he might want to go to england & fight haye. he could be in there before his 4th fight...

At which point Vitali could retire with a smile on his face leaving Haye to fight someone like Pulev for a vacant belt which he probably wouldn't do.

Stevie Wynn won the bid for Douglas-Holyfield with a whopping 32M. He lost a fortune on that. To my recollection Hryonovs 23M bid is the second largest. I'm not 100% sure but close.

He hasn't fought Vitali before so there's no "second shot". It's a shot at Vitali, and He has called him out for years. Why doesn't he want to fight Haye?

I couldn't care less about a Wlad-Haye II as it will probably be another snooze feat with both not coming to fight. But you know Vitali has a little more balls than little bro and he wants to get stuck in.

Would love to see it.

That's not true. It's the second highest accepted purse bid. There's a difference.

anybody think Banks is mouthing off so he can get Haye in the ring himself?

Would be a good fight wouldn't it? Who would you pick?

I don't think he doesn't "want" to fight Haye, but I think Vitali is pretty tired of David Haye since he already refused to fight Vitali twice. So why would Vitali risk setting up a third fight when history says that Haye doesn't want none anyway?

I always enjoy watching Vitali fight but I frankly do not see haye as the biggest threat anyway.
