He pulled out on the 9th of Dec. TWO days before the fight. Training camp was long over by then and a couple of days later he was out swinging golf clubs. He ducked out. Doesn't matter what happened after that. Haye and Wlad were talking deals back and forth for years and k2 would never bend to demands of another fighter. Wlad had his chance to fight Chisora a year before he fought Haye and ducked out. These are the quotes directly from his trainer. Its over for you Mongoose.
It seemed was afraid WLad would lose to Chisora. I think he was afraid Chisroa would start fouling Wlad when he started holding. Wlad got scared at the Chisora was acting at the PC. It was a clear duck for Wlad. He decided to let his brother take the fight since he has a better chin.
-Steward was shilling the fight on ESPN, not unlike Wlad saying Povetkin was like Tyson. You also don't seem to share the rest of Steward's views: He doesn't have faith in David's level of commitment," Steward said of Klitschko. "They made the fight once before, and then Haye pulled out about two weeks before the fight. Then, [Haye] negotiated with his brother Vitali, and then just as he was about to sign the contract he announced that he was going to fight [Nicolay] Valuev. "So because of Haye's inconsistency -- plus [Wladimir] felt he owed that obligation to Chisora -- he wanted to go ahead and take the fight in April and then fight again in July. So I can understand David's point, but I also understand Wladimir's. But to be very clear, Wladimir says he intends to be ready to fight on July 2." -You ducked an entire article that contradicted all of your claims, not sure what is supposed to be over for me.
Yeah, I can see how someone like you would conclude that Steward stating Wlad wanted to fight Chisora in April has nothing to do with Chisora. Is it over for me yet? Speakin of facts, can you provide a link that proves for a fact that Sultan Ibragimov threw his fight against Wlad due to religious beliefs?
The second date hadn't been signed when Manny said that. Behind the scenes he didn't want Wlad fighting him and thats why he never did. The first pull out had nothing to do with Haye. Haye was out of the picture fighting Audley. You're arguing against facts with your opinion. Its over. Take defeat here like a man. You can come back again.
The full interview you neglected to date or source: Most observers look at heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko's April 30 defense against England's Dereck Chisora as little more than a formality. Klitschko's trainer, Emanuel Steward, insists he isn't one of them http://espn.go.com/blog/boxing/archive/_/month/january-2011 The fight was clearly set with a date. Maybe you should get your facts straight before trying to lecture somebody about them? Dino, dino, do you ever get tired of being wrong?
I miss typed that part. I meant to say Manny said that before he pulled out a second time. Wlad ducked Chisorsa and a statement from his trainer confirmed it. Whatever you have to argue with is nothing more than your begrudged opinion.
-No you didn't, your just stupid. -Can you provide a source where Steward says this? He clearly doesn't in the article you partially quoted and I linked.
