    yea real heavyweight contenders like tony the tiger thompson and hasim rahman :patsch:patsch:patsch:patsch:patsch

    Waldo pulled out of the Haye fight like the coward that he is. He's a joke of a champion.

    That sounds fair to me. Chagaev earned his #3 spot. What has Haye done at heavyweight? Seems to me you can't comprehend simple logic.

    Are we back to this whole 'Wlad could of fought him a month later' rubbish?

    Look, the fact is that cancelling the whole June 20th date would of cost K2 a shed-load of money that they weren't willing to lose just because Haye pulled out.

    Interesting I never heard it would have been longer but I don't doubt he would have needed more time to recover.

    Wlad is only going to get better. I didn't see the fight but hopefully Vitali and Wlad end up fighting Haye and Valuev next.

    Showtime is about quality matchups and Klit/Chagaev obviously wasn't that so Showtime passed on it.. Good for them for taking a stand.. Even HBO who's more of a promoter than a boxing network passed on this ****.. That tells alot...

    Haye runs his mouth. Wlad runs the division.

    I was just starting to like Haye when he pussed out with a "back injury." Boy, to hear him tell it, he could beat both brothers on the same night, one handed. But then he hurts himself and suddenly needs time. First a couple weeks, then several. So what's Wlad supposed to do, wait until this annoying little nobody is good and ready to get KO'd?

    **** Haye. He played his card and it came up a joker. All that mother****er does is talk. Talk and struggle against b-level fighters. Some hero.

    Chagaev isn't the #3 heavyweight. Any tomato can could've stood there like a punching bag for 9 rounds like Chagaev did yesterday.

    Haye would've put up a better fight win or lose (but most likely win).

    Rahman was just a last minute substitute for Povetkin and Thomson earned his shot.
