    Klitschko and Haye are having possitive talks and are close of reaching a deal to fight later in the year.

    Emmanuel Steward talked about a September date; however, a report from Golzka says that it will probably be in November. Who knows.

    Shelly Finkel and Golden Boy Promotions (Haye's co-promoter) has good discussions with HBO.

    The fight will probably be in Germany, not in England.

    Haye should be fighting Adamek or Povetkin first, to determine if he's even worthy of facing Wlad.

    Wlad is top-dog. This fight should spell the end of Haye.

    If he goes that route, this fight may never happen.

    It will be a dream that came true if this fight happens. But I am not very optimistic . I don't think that they will reach an agreement. Something will come up in the future and it will remain a dream :-(

    I'll believe it when both fighters are in the ring and the bell is rung. Not before.

    **** Germany!

    It should be held in the UK. German boxing fans are dead, over here they go ****ing CRAZY! To match the event it should be held in the UK for fans who know how to appreciate there sporting events.

    Nope, **** England.

    The fight will be held in Germany because Wlad is THE champ and he calls the shots, not Haye.

    My guess is that the promoters want Klitschko-Haye in Germany in September or November because they want a very large venue with a roof. No one wants a rainout, and Berlin has the Olympiastadion with over 74,000 seats. Nothing like that with a roof in London, at least that I know of. It's great that HBO is involved. And Shelly Finkel sounds like a level-headed negotiator, and if he couldn't make Mayweather-Pacquiao happen then probably no one could. But with the size of the venue, worldwide television coverage, the sheer amount of money on this fight I doubt if Haye will be pulling out of this one. Whatever his guts feel like that night, he'll be there for the paycheck, if nothing more.

    Wlad is IBF champ and Haye is WBA champ.

    If the fight's in Germany Haye doesn't have a chance. He'd probably get disqualified for something before he got a chance to knock Wlad out. And Wlad would hold all night and keep holding his left up in Haye's face without even a warning.

    Going to Germany to fight, unless you're desperate, is the silliest thing you can do.

    Nobody in the US or Canada or UK ever benefits from biased hometown refs and judges apparently. :roll: And Wlad is really the recognized champion. Haye is not, even if they both have titles. You know this, right? Ring, WBO, IBF, IBO...he's the champion. Come on.
