Wlad couldn't wait a month more to fight Haye. Injuries are part of the game. Everybody knows that. This is the biggest fight of heavyweight division in a long time, ever since Lewis-Vitali.:deal Now the fight between them won't happen, and who knows if it ever will.:fire Haye could lose another fight, or even Wlad. Now we got to wait another year for the fight to ever happen.:fire Could u say, Lennox Lewis, Riddick Bowe all over again?:yep De ja vu. So, u tell me ESB fanatics, Who ducked who? Be honest, nut-huggers beware.:hi:
You pull out you lose. You're facing the champ he has no reason to wait for a "mysterious" injury. Haye wasn't ready! It was bad timing for Haye. Somehow they forgot that June 20th is during his time of the month.
Nobody ducked anyone, but Wlad really should have waited the few weeks to make the biggest HW fight in a long time rather than some snoozefest with some guy who may or may not even have a belt.
The truth is David Haye was KOed by Training Camp. He will now have to get to the back of the line and wait for his shot. In the meantime he should try and fight a Ring Magazine top ten Heavyweight but I doubt he will do that he will fight another Monte Barrett level Heavyweight and tell us how great he is.
No reason Wlad can't wait. Except for the fact that he doesn't want to fiight anyone that has a chance to beat him anymore
Wlad has already waited 6 months for the Haye fight... Now Haye needs another 5 weeks or so... and Wlad is just supposed to wait? Thousands of tickets sold, stadium full... venue booked... Wlad is supposed to drop all of that and hope that after over 7 months Haye will finally be ready to step into the ring? Also... he would pass up on another unification fight or at LEAST the Ring Magazine Championship fight. Wlad vs Chagaev means 10x more than Wlad vs Haye anyways. Let's get real. Haye is just a guy who beat an old Mormeck in a life and death struggle... then beat a hyped up Enzo... THAT'S IT! Chagaev is the WBA Heavyweight Champion, the only man to hold a win over Valuev, and is also ranked #3 by Ring Magazine.
Boxing is a business and **** like this happens all the time. No one ducked either guy here so you guys really need to get off that train and stop acting like clowns. It was a business and career move on Wlad's part, but I would've liked to have seen him reschedule the fight and have it take place at a later time rather than have another potential bust against Chaggy. That was the worst of the two moves he could've made here.
I don't really disagree, but the fact is, the Haye fight is the fight people want to see. At least he's not fighting Rahman this time around, I'll grant that. It's an acceptable substitute, but if he was fighting for the fans, as he always says, he would have waited to make the fight they want to see.
Nobody ducked anybody!! Why does it have to be one way or the other?? Can't we just say Haye got injured.....so Wlad decided to face someone else!!! As I said in another thread all this "he's ducking him" stuff is getting like WWF!!!
