What a load of bollocks! Fact is EVERY boxing fan on the planet wanted to see Haye fight a Klit in a HW unification bout, that's why so many people are pissed off now that it's unlikely to happen.
O **** off you stupid ****. No one rattled your cage sweet heart so button it. ****ing noobs got no dam respect.
oh well, haye will be remembered for what he did at cruiserweight. klitschko will be remembered for dominating the heavyweight division but we all know when it's all said and done, wlad's legacy will be greater than haye's.
In all honesty they are both as bad as each other. This is due to the structure of boxing allowing the top fighters to cherry pick....it has been going on for years and years from Dempsey not taking on black fighters Ali refusing to give Norton a 4th fight, from Holmes doging guys to Bowe dodging Lewis. Look at Floyd Mayweather... Anyhow we need to re shape the format into a grand prix style set up.... The heavyweight crown is up for grabs every year.....with the prize money going up and up. top 16 fighers in the world face each other. Then top 8 top 4 top 2
if the fight was July 2nd after the Klitscko fight in April 30th. When would the press tour be? In 17 world title fights Klitscko has never had a fight closer than 13 weeks apart.
It's getting more clear that Wlad doesn't want the fight. If he did he would tell Del boy to step aside.
Haye hopes to fight Klitschko (UKPA) 58 minutes ago David Haye is in no doubt Wladimir Klitschko is running scared - but still hopes his heavyweight world champion rival will "see sense" and get their fight of the century on this summer. WBA champion Haye branded his IBF and WBO counterpart a "coward" after the Ukranian elected to honour his agreement to fight Londoner Dereck Chisora on April 30 despite protracted negotiations for a unification clash between the two champions, set for July 2 at Klitschko's request. "Fight fans just want to see the best against the best - if only it was that simple," said Haye, who is now set to take on WBA mandatory challenger Ruslan Chagaev of Uzbekistan. "For this fight, I thought we had gotten over all of the obstacles, I even renegotiated my own current promoters contract to allow the Klitschkos to get what they wanted out of the fight. "They wanted to fight in Germany, I said 'okay'. We made sure our mandatory challenger could be put on the backburner, had agreements from all the TV networks. Very rarely in boxing do you get a situation where you have all the pieces of the puzzle, all the politics have been smoothed over. "Then all of sudden he announces he is fighting, knowing I have to then fight Chagaev. To then fight me after is impossible - it is a shame he has now shown his true colours. "He is scared of getting knocked out and does not want to lose, fighting people on a good run. What is wrong with now? Nothing. It does not make sense, especially after all the public campaign to get me in the ring. "This would be a once in a life-time fight. Once I retire, people will always ask him 'why did you not fight David Haye?' and he will have to live with that. "If it does not happen now, it never will. Hopefully he is getting some serious stick, will read what the world is saying about him and think 'okay maybe I will just cancel this fight and do the fight everyone wants to see'. "Nobody will hold it against him if he cancels the fight with Dereck Chisora - the public aren't interested in that fight, nobody knows who he is. It is pretty sad but shows the mindset of Wladimir Klitschko and why he will go down in history as a heavyweight who just fought the worst possible people out there."
Scurla is bang on the money -......... yet again. :good Exactly my thoughts. Boring subject now anyway - fight should have happened in 2009 if Haye had really wanted it.
