    The WBA may order it to happen in a country that licenses Chagaev, their official mandatory challenger. Chagaev will get his shot in Spring 2010, no matter what Haye wants or says.

    Didn't Hopkins collapse after fighting Jones?

    IF true then Haye could end up seriously damaging him.

    :huh

    Haye fought Ruiz in the Spring time of this year so how the hell is Chagaev going to go back in time and get a shot?

    It's the WBA we're dealing with here. At this point, nothing surprises me with them.

    The best is how Booth and Haye are always playing down Harrison as an opponent, but they are NOT categorically saying no to fighting him. "We're not thrilled" "If by some miracle I end up in the same ring with him" "He hasn't fougth anyone in the top 20".

    What's so hard about saying "We won't fight Audley no matter what"????

    Why would Meehan be on Haye's list, when he is close to retirement and Chagaev beat him?

    I'd love to see them fight Hopkins...and Hopkins somehow magically pull off the upset.

    They licensed him in his WBA eliminator fight vs Meehan so I can't see them turning around and trying to scrap his manditory status. Then again nothing that the WBA King/Haye/Booth *** squad does would shock me.

    his last fight was in Germany, its down the countries boxing commission to decide if he gets a licence or not.

    he was meant rematch Valuev in Finland (I think it was Finland anyway) and they refused him a licence because of the Hepatitis.

    Not entirely true HMS. Finland was going to license him, on the condition that Valuev and his team were vaccinated prior to the fight, which Valuev declined.

    1 one thing I notice over and over about Booth is...."David doesnt want to fight with Harrison, BUT......."

    seems like Booth just wont close the door on it. Makes me think it is going to happen If it really was not an option like Haye keeps saying and even Booth said at first, why leave the door open at all:think
