    Haye has to beat Wlad..Vitali has to beat Valuev..Then they fight each other..Then we

    got a unified champion.

    Yeah, it would. If I were you, I wouldn't bet on it.

    I've already made my pick...Klitschko by stoppage. :deal

    But to bring some excitment to the division, I'd rather see Haye's hand raised at the end of the night. :good

    1. Getting the fat-arses in shape. Lack of weight regulation doesn't mean that you should go for the KFC and Taco bell hall of fame. Heck 100 year old Evander Holyfield was in better shape than 90% of the HWs.
    2. Getting new talent - stop putting those old, washed up, fat bums against Wlad i Vitali and get someone hungry for glory.

    A Haye win over Vlad would be a good start. If that happen to coincide with the emergence of a couple hot prospects, things could heat up.

    it needs haye to ko waldo, smash his glass chin to pieces, that would create some attention and buzz.. first of all haye´s stile is much more fan friendly, secondly it would set up a fight with vitlay..

    if that happens, and doesnt create a huge amount of attention, then boxing is finito.

    and thirdly it surely wouldnt hurt, if they stateside produced a couple of quality hw..

    What it needs is for these fatasses to focus on conditioning a bit more so they can up their workrate. If I wanted to see a couple of fatties try to beat each other up I'd toss a cinnebon covered in Ben & Jerry's through the window of a McDonalds at lunchtime.

    Quite a bit of spark there with Vitali K. back and the likes of Haye and Povetkin willing to fight the best.

    Hw division needs its fighters to get serious about their pro careers. Just look at Tua, Briggs, Grant, JD Chapman, Arreola, Solis, Peter, Bowe, Toney, Kirk Johnson, Ibeabuchi, Audley Harrison, and many others.

    It also needs to regularly receive the influx of amateur talent, guys like Camarelle, Timurziev and Romanchuk should have turned pro, to renovate the hype around the division.
