In a unification fight, there is no champion and challenger, both hold title belts. There is also Vitali out there too with a belt. 3 guys with title belts. Some can claim to have more pedigree or history, that's fine, but until somebody holds all 3 - there is no single, undisputed champion. That's ****, but that's how it is. For any response "Everyone knows Wlad is the real champion" - anyone told Vitali that? It can't swing both ways. Fans of the brothers can't claim that they're unique because they're both champions (which is a pretty impressive achievement to be fair) - but one is the REAL champ.
Holyfield is Champ 4 real cuz. Seriously, Wlad is the only Heavyweight Champion, Vitali and Haye are belt holders.
have to disagree and i'm sure vitali has heard it plenty: he ain't the champ, he's no. 1 contender. haye is maybe no. 2. though to be fair, povetkin's resume (sadly) at heavy is probably equal or better. valuev vs chambers+byrd
Thats a ridiculous statement. atschThe possible high volume of PPV would be because Haye is fighting Wlad. The fight everyone wants to see. they would both be the draw
yup, when ali came back and fought frazier in the fight of the century was ali the draw? probably but it was the FIGHT, it was the two opponents that sold it and not one individually. they combined to make it what it was, same here. that said, 50/50 is fair. wlad is the champ and he's not asking for the deserved 60/40. any hold up at this point is fear
^^^ so true. They should've been able to make this fight happen. Now we have to wait for who knows how long because of Haye.
Haye for himself would be wiser to cash in on the Audley fight and try and stay as WBA champ because either Klit will end him, he should save cashing in that chip until the end Of course from a boxing point of view the unification fight must happen
If it wasn't for him running his mouth, people would understand it. Thing is, this is the fight game. You are expected to 'man up' to your mouth.
But Wlad is soooooooooooo boring..... Here he is against an unranked bum, throwing nothing but jabs. Pathetic. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7kUG5z0uXE&feature=related[/ame] I would much rather see a real exciting fighter like Haye. Look a the variety of punches, the combinations, its like Tyson and Ali had a lovechild and it was Haye. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGyg2y4Awgw[/ame]
Haye vs. Valuev was boring! He won on points because now he is the slave from Sauerland. Hoylfield and Chagaev did much better against Valuev.
so you picked wlads most exciting fight and hayes most boring fight to prove your point? :verysad I will counter with this: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYFQvN9Shns[/ame] and this: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex-RkeJapF0[/ame]
Haye's ignorant fans do not want Haye to fight Vitali or Vlad because they know that Haye will get knocked out. Haye knows that also, which is the reason that Haye broke two contracts with Klitschkos, ran and hide. Haye has no chance against Vitali or Vlad. Solis stopped Haye in amateurs. Povetkin is gold medal winner in superheavyweight division, Haye could not do such. Haye will duck Chagaev. Chagaev was the real WBA champion, he really beat Valouev, Haye did not. Chagaev fought Valouev, Haye ran, did not throw punches was given gift. Vlad beat Chagaev. Haye will continue to run like the coward he really is. Haye's ignorant fans are delusional. They would rather dream about Haye being good fighter than see him knocked out. Haye the coward is a coward indeed. Vitali and Vlad have accomplished much more than Haye can every dream of doing. Haye is famous for having diarrhea of the mouth and that's it.
