No I didnt compare the two and you know that, you are trying to shift an arguement you cant counter. I noted Lewis age when he fought Vitali, but i think Vitali having been a world champ and top world class HW was more equipped to fight Lewis than an 11 fight novice fighting a top 10 world class fighter in his division, coming off a KO wi over another top 10 fighter in his division. If you feel different then we will have to leave you with that, because you know yourself that Vitali wasnt going anywhere near that kind of level in 12 fights. Still Im sure you will argue that also
Show me the source. I doubt either was overly scarred but I doubt many rival champs would want to sign to a Klitschko contract
Haye was won all world titles at cruiser, and one at heavyweight. He's also won most of these titles away from home. His ko record is 90%, has fast hands amazing punch power. Only things I don't like is not active enough at heavyweight, can only hope he goes onto beat vitali then a rematch with wlad where he will have to be less cautious.
If you're too lazy to google it its your problem. Its been posted numerous times on ESB that Valuev declined to fight Vitaliy for 3mil, then when he lost the belt for 1.5 mil. These would be the highest paydays of his entire career. The 3 mill i mean. Vitaliy even flew to St. Petersburg, where Valuev lives and called him out. As for Wlad, when Haye pulled out of their first fight, Wlad wanted Valuev instead, since Valuev just opted not to fight Chagaev two week prior. He declined. And this was not the only instance where Valuev declined. As for the contracts, it seems only fighters who are scared bring that contract up, i.e. Pov, Haye, Valuev. Others signed the contract with no problem. Some 2-3 times.
