See, things ain't looking so bad afterall! As I've said before whatever you think of Haye or Klitschko them fighting is best for the sport and and makes money sense! and obviously Wladamir and his older brother wants him!
but isnt Eddie Chambers fighting Dimitrenko to be named WBO mandatory though. I reckon Haye/Vitali is far more likely now.
I wrote an article a couple of weeks ago with regards to this whole sorry mess. And I said that Holyfield should get a shot at Valuev. That was before I actually pieced it all together and realised what Valuev & Don King were doing. I would suggest actually that they strip Valuev and kick him out of the picture for a while, and laugh off Don King's inevitable law suit and tell him to get ****ed. Then even if Chagaev loses to Klitschko, let him have first choice on the belt. If he's ready he could fight Evander Holyfield, who deserves another shot having been robbed against Valuev, whle Ruiz & Johnson fight for the interim title. Then the winners face each other immediately. If Chagaev isn't ready after getting beaten by Wlad, then Ruiz v Johnson should be the main belt, and let Evan Fields fight the winner.
I wanted to see the Haye fight, but this is sports and injuries are a part of it. And having had back injuries my self, believe me it can be on going thing, and one of the hardest things to treat (is it the disks, the bones, the nerves, the muscles????...etc). Ruslan was a good choice, and will give more clarity to the division, and it sets up Wlad to possibly taken on Valuev and taken on three young fighters (haye, povetkin, chambers) with more stake on the table.
Learn to read. This had nothing to do with Haye. Just throwing the poster's twisted logic back on them. I just enjoy ****ing with the truly stupid sometimes.
Yeah I did say that but no worries, my responce was tongue and cheek. That always happens to me anyway.
They both want him...but Vitali has a better schedule for it... like I said unless Haye waits until mid-late 2010
Damn, i can't believe this ****. :| I hope Povetkin is the replacement because if he's not we won't see Wlad fight Haye this year. If not then i hope Vitali vs Haye can be made instead.
And that doesn't have any significance on Haye's position. He won't drop unless he loses a fight or becomes extremely inactive. Either Chambers or Dimitrenko will be the mando then, as far as I was aware it was Alexander anyway, but regardless, the winner gets a shot, the loser drops down below Haye in the rankings, and after Wlad faces the #1 should he win, Haye moves up to mando position.
Chef, what is the most likely fight for Wlad? Is it actually Chagaev or are his camp showing no interest? I'd love to see it happen but I've only seen it being suggested from fans so far.
