    Stupid comment as the Klitschko's are not saying that. Only people like you are. And yes, Vitali is the tougher brother.

    If he made it perfectly clear, please find me one source where he is saying that. We all know Haye would prefer to fight Wlad, yes, but find me something where he made it clear that he would refuse to fight Vitali. Don't mention the fight a couple of years ago, either, because Haye's side of the story is that a separate deal was offered, to the one they agreed upon and looking at K2's bull**** contracts, I'm inclined to believe that's true.

    And a Vitali fight could have been made before or instead of his bout with Solis.

    Have to ask you honestly Jack, do you think Haye would fight Vitaly if the fight was offered for the SECONED time? Honest thoughts pls or don't bother answering.

    Wlad fought the much better competition, mandatories who deserves the chance not old fighters like Briggs.

    Wlad is the No. 1 and it is good that Haye wants to fight Wlad. I hope it will happen this years.

    Vitali against Adamek and Wlad against Haye. Great fights.

    The wlad fight is better style wise for Haye and people would critisie him anyway if he beat Vitali because of his age. He would be an under dog in both but the Wlad fight is a lot better. Also Wlad is not as talanted as Vitali imo.

    :patsch

    Wlad is more difficult to fight for Haye. Wlad has more power, more speed, Wlad is the better man H2H Vitali.

    Haye is right, if he fights Vitali, all would say that Haye avoided the No 1 Heavyweight to fight an old man.

    Vitali is a sharp and effective as ever. Still has the stamina and output.

    NOONE would say *he was old* if Haye were to somehow beat him.

    That is nonsense and everyone knows it. If Haye were to beat Vitali, it'd be a legit acomplishment.

    Haye just wants the one that is the least available, as he's proven in the past. And even IF they were to get him to sign a fight with one of them, Haye would pull out. He's proven that too many times.

    Forward to 10:50 in the following interview. Watch it all if you want to see Booth squirm in his seat as Boente lays the **** down. If you can't see it, it basically goes something like this:

    Noone, and I mean noone, in their right mind would criticize Haye for fighting Vitali instead. He, afterall, is the harder brother for Haye.

    But there are others, myself included, who feel Haye is obliged to fight BOTH brothers. Regardless of the order in which he does it, if he beats one, he has to fight the other.

    I think if it was a fair offer then, yeah, I do. If Haye didn't want a fight with Wlad, he wouldn't have accepted 50/50 or the fight being in Germany but he did. I think Haye is as confident of beating Vitali, as he is of beating Wlad, so if he'll accept one offer, I think he'd accept both. He may prefer Wlad, yes, but I still think he'd fight Vitali if the deal was fair.

    I think they're just talking about who they would prefer. Preferring one doesn't mean they would reject the other. At the time, a fight with both brothers was on the card because it was only a couple of weeks away from the Wlad/Chisora fight, which didn't happen obviously, so I don't see the issue with Booth saying here that they wanted Wlad.

    When all three men were free, Wlad was the only one actively pursuing a fight. K2 made the same preference that Booth did in the video, so it's not an issue.

    Clearly he still doesnt want either K brother. And he made it obvious that Vitali especially out of the question.

    He made it obvious aswel that hes hoping Povetkin doesnt happen instead of chagaev.

    Nothing Haye can say can make me change my mind about him now. The guy is a joke and a ducker and a waste of everyones time
