Haye is fighting a formely hyped-up nobody in Fraudley 'a-farce' Harrison. Boxingfans around the world are crying out loud and are shaking their heads over this easy handpicked opponent. But than... remember the easy defences of Wlad against Rahman, Austin, Castillo and Brewster II. I even dare to say Wlad, at the time, thought he would have an easy win over Lamon Brewster in their first meeting. No Hayefan speaking here, btw.
And the Quitali defences vs Sosnowski & Kingpin (the same dude CHEF and other Klitilickers called a joke when Haye was gonna fight him for his proper HW debut back in 2008.)

Haye is a business man. He needs to hold on to his WBA title as long as he can. It's worth money. He loses it if he fights Klitschko.
People who hate Haye will always jump at the chance to criticize the guy. I like Haye and I am disappointed that he called out the Klits with no real intention to fight them but the guy is talented and achieved allot in under 25 fights as a pro. The guy should have just worked his way through his opponents and attracted attention with impressive KO victories and this would have been enough to to create anticipation for a showdown.
agreed, im a big haye fan and i like his trash talking its good value. but i wish he had gone about this in a different manner, instead of people warming to this talented and carismatic lad they all want to see him lose now. after he beats audley i would like to see haye adopt a cooler method and just do his stuff in the ring and let his fists do the talking. if he is as good as i belive then he doesnt need to go looking for anyone, once he sorts the wheat from the chaf there will be no doubt in his abilities.
it wont be when he's finished his career. 25 pro fights undisputed CW champ and now HW champ hes hardly goin in the wrong direction. lets see who has the better record when they hang their gloves up.
i hope he does cos if haye faces vitali then everyone will say he was too old anyway!....pointless fight. 3rd or 4th round haye knockout.
NEWSFLASH: Both Wlad & Vitali are Champs, and have been since WELL BEFORE Haye got his win over Valuev, who shouldn't have even had that belt (should have been Chagaev, who Wlad demolished). Haye was the one calling out Wlad & Vitali, wearing the t-shirts, etc... If he would have just kept his mouth shut during his time at heavyweight, no one would accuse him of ducking. Wlad & Vitali are 21 - 0 in their last 21 fights. Wladimir's last ten opponents have a combined record of: 317-19-9. Six of those ten either held, or recently held a heavyweight belt when entering the ring. I know it eats you up inside to see Wlad & Vitali accumulate win, after win, after win.
cos all the heavyweights are ****ing woefull, if there was any decent heavyweight in the ranks 6 or 7 year ago the klits wouldnt have anything... they timed it right thats all, they arnt even close to being gifted, just good timing. if haye was the same age as wlad, haye would have all the belts right now, the bros are average in a below average weight class. :bbb
