    Considering Haye has lost almost all of his leverage that he had, for making a fight he thought was $$$ acceptable. He might very well turn down the fight against Vitali and use it as an excuse. Especially considering most his peers figure he has an even lower chance of victory in this fight.

    And with Bermane Stiverne being the Mandatory( which I don't know when the deadline is to set up).

    Who else would you like to see him in the ring with next? Assuming it would be early next year, and factoring in the fighters who are ranked but already have other fights scheduled later this year, making it less likely they'd except or have enough time to prepare.

    Maybe Helenius. He's probably the best out there available.

    But Helenius is supposedly taking the slow route much like Fury, which is more likely the better decision for eaches development. And that their both defending or fighting for their trinket titles vs. Dimitrenko and Neven Pajkic respectfully. in Nov and Dec. It's hard to find a name that they haven't already beaten or willing to.

    For all Haye's faults at least he provided something, even if it wasn't that much.

    The HW division has once again gone back to sleep. There really are no interesting match ups, Vit should have gone out of his way to make the Haye fight, just to knock him out at least.

    As am I. I was just trying to get the sensuous for the most popular public preference.

    As before mentioned, the guys that are delaying some of the fights, are the ones I'd like to see fighting them. Are there any names you'd like to see.. Don't care if it's Toney, Holyfield, Boystov, Ustinov, or even the greener young guys.

    Honestly, the one guy who could make life difficult for Vitali is Haye - because he's faster (both his hands and feet), younger and has legitimate power. I can't see anyone else challenging Vitali. Helenius is too inexperienced. The rest of the HW division is comprised of quality fighters who are too small (Chambers), and guys who have already gotten beat down by Vitali, or are not good enough to get in the ring with him. At Vitali's age, with his dominance, he's in a bad situation. There is literally no one to fight.

    Agreed Haye is the only name out there that would have a shot (however improbable) of beating Vitali.

    Names that come to mind that Vitali might end up fighting include: SNV, Dimitrenko, Chagaev, Liakovitch, and Krasniqi.

    I also wouldn't be too surprised if Marco Huck decided to move up and take the K2 payday. Vitali would be interesting in anyone (like Huck or SNV or Krasniqi) who could sell alot of tickets in Germany.

    why would he fight kransiqi? he hasnt won a fight in over 4 1/2 years and has been inactive for 3 years :rofl

    Valuev has been inactive for almost 3 years. he aint gonna ever fight again

    Dimitrenko brings NOTHING to the table and has beaten no one

    not sure how you came to the conclusions of these being on vitalis hit list...poinrtless and not a chance in hell he will fight any of them...

    chagaev just his ass beat and is 2-2 i his last 4

    Liakovitch just got the **** beat out of him and was out of shape
