Comments Thread For: V. Klitschko Says He Will Likely Return, Haye Possible

[Daddy T]

A ****** fight and Haye has done nothing to deserve a fight. You're an idiot. Vitali has ALWAYS been better than Wlad.... Haye is a fraud. He talked trash about Wlad in a pathetic way, gets his fight, then did zero in the ring, humiliating himself.... hence why he coward off into retirement. Comes out of retirement when he realizes he needs more money, and out to fraud the public again... Vitali would destroy this cornrow fool who doesn't deserve even a fight with Arreola!

lol you're really determined that vits should avoid haye at all costs

The contract Haye signed was to fight EITHER Klitschko. Haye didn't choose Wlad over Vitali the brothers decided between themselves who would fight.

Didn't they toss a coin or something ? lol

I can then conclue you and I don't see things the same way.

Yeah, I see things the correct way.

Haye is my boy but I don't think he'll be busy enough to beat Vitali on points, even an old Vitali. He'll land some good shots but Vitali has an iron jaw and will tie him up whenever he feels the need to.

He is scared that his hero will get knocked out by one of Haye's monster hayemakers.

Don't worry buddy, we'll always remember old iron fist and he'll be honored in the HOF. But it's time to pass the crown on to the young lions.

Heavyweight champion brothers Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko have had deals in place in which one of them will face titleholder David Haye this summer and one will fight top contender Tomasz Adamek in the fall. But under the deal, the Klitschkos are the ones who would determine the matchups.

Now they have decided: It will be Wladimir who faces Haye in a title unification fight on June 25 or July 2 at a venue to be determined and Vitali who will face Adamek on Sept. 10 in Adamek's native Poland, Bernd Boente, who manages the brothers, told ESPN.com on Wednesday.

Those matchups were the ones they had said were most likely all along, but Boente said the brothers made their final decision between themselves recently -- although, technically, the terms of their contracts with Haye and Adamek allow for them to still make a change if they want or to change if one of them is unavailable due an injury. So how did the brothers reach their decision?

"It's pretty simple: Wladimir was the first one in 2009 who wanted to face Haye after Haye attacked him first, verbally in London at a press conference for a charity cause," Boente said. "From the beginning it was always going in that direction. From the contract side it's possible it could change but, as of now, they made the decision between themselves."

Haye was quite clear about wanting to fight Wladimir. He didn't sign a contract not knowing which one he'd face. That's ridiculous.

It seems a likely outcome, but I just can't get past Vitali's speed. He's incredibly slow. His brother struggled to land on Haye all night long, so I just can't see Vitali doing it either.

He can hope to KO Haye, and he does commit a lot more than Wlad, so that is of course a possibility. But Vitali would be easier than Wlad for Haye.

That's because Wlad needs his target to be stationary, Vitali doesn't care he just lets his hands go. Even when he was injured against Chisora he threw 40/50 punches a round, Haye is the one who would need a KO.
