David Haye 56 days and still no opponent

No Adamek was offered a fight when Haye bitched out of the Wlad fight on short notice without ever fighting at HW yet.

 

The fact is the Haye camp know despite the bravado they haven't got a chance.They'll milk the belt for all it's worth,probably a couple of easy defences including maybe Audley and wait as long as possible if they can before facing a Klit. They'll stretch it out well into next year and beyond.

 

Both Adamek and HBO were interested in a fight.If Haye wants money why not fight Adamek on HBO and at the same time finally get some US TV exposure.

HAYE TO FIGHT ONE OF FOUR NEXT
Comments (0)

David Haye still has a Klitschko in his sights for his next World Heavyweight title bout, but will keep his options open in case a deal cannot be hammered out.

Vitali Klitschko defeated London based Pole Albert Sosnowski in ten rounds last weekend, and immediately identified Haye as his favoured next opponent.

Deals brokered between the Bermondsey man and both Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko have fallen apart in the past, and negotiations look set to be just as tricky this time.

But a source close to Haye has told the 'News' his desire is still to fight either Ukrainian, although he is keeping his options open in case a good deal can't be struck.

They told the 'News: "The Klitschko brothers are obviously one and two as far as David is concerned, but fights with (Audley) Harrison and (Tomasz) Adamek are being discussed in case a deal with either of the brothers cannot be struck."

A fight with Harrison may prove to be an intriguing domestic dust up, but if Haye wants to retire as planned at age 31 he will be looking to take on either Klitschko as soon as possible.

The picture is further complicated by Nikolay Valuev, who Haye defeated last November, who has a re-match clause with 29-year-old Bermondsey boxer.

Ruslan Chagaev, from Uzbekistan, is now Haye's mandatory challenger after his recent points win over Aussie Kali Meehan, but he will have to wait his turn as the Bermondsey man is not required to face him imminently.

Our source added: "All avenues are still very much open to David at the moment, but they will be saying very little until the picture becomes much clearer."

The Hayemaker was last in the ring in April when he defeated American John Ruiz in nine rounds. The 38-year-old decided to hang up his gloves following that defeat in Manchester.

Of his four prospective opponents only Adamek has a fight on the near horizon. The Pole is set to take on Michael Grant in August, but a world title shot could see him sidestep that opponent.

Valuev has also been discussed as a next opponent for Vitali Klitschko, should the Haye deal not come to fruition.

 

Co sign

 

He wants to see his children graduate from college. Something that would be in doubt if he fights a Klitchko.

 

Haye's just milking his wba title for as long as he can. I think he realizes he's at the end of the road when he fights a klitchko. Especially since seeing both brothers dominate thier competition relatively easily...

 

I think Haye's inactivity (as iceman pointed out) is probably the most frustrating aspect of Haye's heavyweight campaign. I really don't think his resume is as bad as people say it is. It's not great, but Ruiz was a bottom top 10 win despite his physical decline and Nicky was a top 5 win, even if it was done unimpressively. Haye doesn't have the leverage to take long breaks between fights. The idea (i think) behind such a maneuver is that it antagonizes the Klits so that they will provide a better offer, but they have too many options besides Haye to have their terms dictated.

 

ha thats a great way to look at it

 

:yep
Dude your on a roll:rofl

Come on now... "Haye is having a baby" (i guess all of his lawyers were in the delivery room also so no talks were allowed) or best of all "Hayes needs rest"atsch

I would need rest also if i fought 3 times in 2 years

 

LOL Haye's pregnant!

 

Haye broke two contracts with Klitschkos, one signed and one implied. Haye will never fight either one of them.
