    Williams is a great fighter and risk taker as are Pavlik, Abraham and probably Dzinkiruk. They should be fighting each other but the common fan dont know three of them cause it seems that lazy promoters aint going out on a limb and promoting them.

    Or maybe something more sinister is going on

    Some say (Frank Warren) that his hands aren't in the best shape... who knows?! But I don't think anyone can accuse him of 'cashing out' against the Klit's considering the contract he has signed... He could've made more money by fighting Matt Skelton at the O2. Haye is one of the few boxers around these days who can look themselves in the mirror and say they've taken risks from day 1.

    I think so yes. There are so many bogus titles out there that fighters can make money defending a paper/interim belt etc.

    Agreed. Let's hope his fight with Wlad lives to the hype.
    I honestly think that the worse case scenario is another one-sided jabfest.
