Id have Haye as a majorly big underdog, but agree that Vitali has slowed quite a bit. Id still pick Vitali 10 times from 10, but its a better fight than Vitali v anyone else.
As somebody who picked Wlad to win easily on Saturday, I think Haye could beat Vitali. Vitali is dreadfully slow and Haye could steal a lot of rounds.
If Haye and Booth can make this fight they will...it would be insane not to, there is just too much money involved for it not to happen. I agree with Grant, Vitali is beatable now.
Doubt this fight. He'd be a voluntary so they will fcuk him over the negotiations, options, 80/20 revenue share, etc etc and i can't see haye accepting that
The Klits aren't stupid....either 80% of £3m or 50% of £20m....its a no brainer. I'm convinced that this fight will happen and not on slave terms. Wlad and Haye were always destined to fight a unification fight at Wembley next summer. When/if Haye beats Vitali a rematch with Wlad for all the baubles would be massive.
ok, maybe they will do a 60/40. But they will definitely put options in, its stupid not to when it is a voluntary haye said on ssn that he wouldnt fight on with options
Of course there will be options but the gravy train is way too lucrative ti jump off and break the three way circle jerk
Well reading his comments to the BBC today Haye seems dead keen on a rematch with Wlad and the Vitali root would probably be the quickest and possibly only way he's going to get one. There's just one little obstacle in the way and that's getting past Vitali. I'd give him a minimum, if any chance of winning. However no matter who they are, all fighters age and one day find they can't do it anymore. This will one day happen to Vitali too who's clearly been sliding for a while. Haye: "They're the two big fights out there for me; they hold all the world title belts now," Haye stated. "So if it's not one of those, then that's it. I always aim my goals as high as possible.
Firstly, he hasn't, he states what Haye does in regards to fighting on is his decision and his decision alone. Secondly, Haye stated to the BBC today he really wishes to fight either brother.
tbh,when your a masssive millionaire like haye,he should be agreeing to any contract detials just to get in that ring with either klitschkos,hopefully fully fit and able,and give it a proper go,even if not fully fit,still go balls out to KO them,or totally out box them. better balance,better combinations,use of combinations,less posturing,more getting off first,in fighting-haye can learn it all if he wants. he needs to solve why he gets niggling injuries pre fight every time. Vitali should be the next fight,if he can outbox vitali,bust him up,stop him on cuts,he gets the WBC title,that sets up the rematch and allows wlad and haye the chance to try KO each other and properly unify and settle a REAL undisputed champion(seen as wlad and vitali will never fight). Haye needs to do a fight in America,fight a top contender, arreola?, povetkin?, dimintrenko? chambers? fighting and beating these top heavies alone and beating them in good fashion,in america,this can alone bring excitment and recognition to the divsion,without fighting the kbros and over shadow the k bros not so exciting styles. wlad didnt impress,he got no KO,he put more combos and punches together/landed,but he didnt impress,he was cautious,haye was cuz of this and coudnt counter. both didnt win anything in way of praise from neutrals.
If the figures for Haye vs Wlad turn out to be huge, above expectation, I should think that's going to play a part too in this happening or not.
