Wlad has been boxing for 20 years. He made a mistake and underestimated Sanders. (Wlads own words) I can promise you. Wlad will never ever underestimate another fighter, Same can be said the other way. Does David and Adam realize how good Wlad is? Thats why this fight needs to be made:deal
From a U.S perspective, Haye hasn't added any excitement to the HW division. Lewis was a household name and his fights were actually shown in the States. Only one of Haye's fights have been shown here and that was against Macca. Now if he actually fights one of the Kiltschkos, he could help bring the division back to life.
Can't have been worse than what the Klits had in store for him. Options on his next 22 fights, he has to fight the Klits back to back in 20 of those until they beat him, if they lose all of them, then in the next 2 they're allowed to fight at the same time against him and Haye only gets money from a company that went bust and is not entitled to any of the other money the 22 fights make. Something like that, wasn't it?
funny how Valuev has a rematch clause, yet when Wlad had it, you haye fans say it unreasonable. I dont know how many times I have to say this. Fighting Vitali after Wlad, if Haye won, was HAYE and BOOTHS IDEA
I think that's the point. He knows Haye is good. And a big knockout is just what he needs to get back on HBO. Honestly, if Haye wants this fight it can happen. There are literally no impediments. Valuev? Who knows what he'll do. Povetkin? We all no he was no part of Wlad. This could be a legit superfight. Hope it happens.
It was'nt just a rematch clause! The terms were, Fight one Klit, if you win you must then fight the other Klit, both klit brothers will be entitled to a rematch! You do this for a pre agreed % of the purse from one or all of the potential matches! That % was a pitance for the first fight and only grew marginaly for any subsequent rematches. In effect Haye would have been tied to fighting an other Klitty for around 2 and half years and his earnings from those fights would be capped. Unacceptable!
Valuev and Ruiz are two legit fighters. They not the best, but it is the HW division, there is no one apart from the Klits. And if he does get it on with them next then thats great. Lets just see who he fights next, then do the talking.
Forget silly demands. This fight will be made because of the demand for it. Haye and Wlad need to fight each other now. It's not like last year when Haye signed to fight Wlad, back then Haye was unproven at heavyweight. Now they are both beltholders and have called each other out. Haye has to rematch Valuev and fight Chag-Meehan, Wlad has to fight Povetkin or Peter. Why not have Haye-Valuev II and Wlad vs IBF mandatory in July/August and then Wlad-Haye around October/November? Of course both guys could turn around and say "**** you" to the ABCs and just fight each other for the Ring belt. CHEF you said Vitali might retire at the end of the year, but I'm sure he would delay his retirement if Haye beats Wlad so Vitali can fight Haye.
they will probably offer another 400 000 dollar fight with another triple rematch clause and of course the mandatory "secret keep it quiet" contract !!! these guys will low baall ask valuev about that LOL And they will send the cook onto the websites in full defensive mode
:deal You can make the argument that any fighter is not legit other than the Klits... Adamek is a LHW who fought at cruiser because he couldn't beat Dawson and is only in heavy because that is where the money is. Povetkin has spent the last 2 years ducking wlad Peter got beat by both klits and is way past his best now Thompson, he is called Tony the tiger.... need I say more
That's the script. :deal Don't forget stopping big bro in the grudge match too! Let's just hope he makes the fights, instead of talking about them.
I thought so too... Vitali only has the one belt,,, and he's on his way out. Why not give him the crack at Haye? But on the other side, Wlad's the one whose been working his game for the last 5 years, trying to become great and getting stuck in these boring ass fights with boring challengers. Why should Vitali swoop in after 4 years off and grab the only big fight out there in the HW division? Wlad has earned this one imo... If he gets KTFO, Vitali will get his shot at family redemption... That fight would be even bigger!
