    Well, he could have fought Vitali a few months ago, but backed out..

    That basically answers your question.

    No it doesn't really. Unless your answer is that there are only actually two live opponents for Haye in the heavyweight division? In which case I don't see why you would balk at Haye picking up a title first to position himself before going after them. Even the K2 GM now says Haye was right to fight Valuev first and it would make a Klitschko fight far bigger.

    I'm fine on my boxing knowledge, actually. By 'most' of the titles you mean the WBO (the worst of the big four) and the IBF. He got the lineal title through not fighting the #2 ranked contender, Vitali, as well.

    Put simpy, Vitali has by far the better resume and is actually quite a good boxer. Wlad is terrified of revisiting Colonel Corrie Sanders-like moments so fights like a spanner.

    Ibragimov? Thompson? Gimme a break:lol:. Wlad knows deep down that he has those belts because Vitali won't dish out an ass-whooping to his own brother:good.

    Great matchups for him. Ruiz a mandatory in London. Toney a big name and a rematch with Valuev. Haye should win them all. You don't want to see him fall to Vitali or Wlad just yet do you?

    Wlad is now recognized by the ring magazine as well as most people around the world as the champ. The WBA title should actually belong to him, but its not his fault that Don King pays organizations to not relinquish their belts.... You can't errase the fact that he destroyed the man who beat Valuev, only to have the belt withheld over some invisible technicality.. As for him not rematching Sanders, this is laughable to the point of one losing their bodily functions. The man was done for after Vitali beat him.....Do you really want Wlad to sink to Haye's level by fighting corpses? Laugh all you want about Ibragimov and Thompson.. One of them was an undefeated titlist, while the other had never been stopped and lost only once in some 33 fights.. Lastly, what crock of **** for criticizing the Klit bros for not facing each other.. That's never going to happen and anyone with a functioning brain knows it..

    Chagaev was given quite short notice for the Wlad fith wasent he, wasent he a replacement? Did Wlad not say ''il fight him instead of waiting for Haye''. Saying Haye backed out of the fight does not stand, because the fight could still have happened if Wladimir really wanted it. As for Tony Thompson and and aged Hasim Rahman, please pull the other one. They are both as bad/worse than Ruiz. And this is your second recent anti-Haye thread, which kind of takes away from the repectability of both threads.

    yep, we have to accept the fact that this is the first time in heavyweight history that the two best heavyweights wont fight each other, really is a shame. anyone with a functioning brain knows that the klitschkos are the best competition for each other. if they're gonna be talking all this brother ****, maybe they should retire and start a family sitcom.

    :rofl. Thinks would have to get pretty bad before you made the decision to watch a sitcom involving any Klitschko.

    Making concessions for one fighter taking a match on short notice works both ways.


    Who's fault the fight never happened is unclear to me at this point. What I do know is that Wlad took on the undefeated titilist who beat the same Valuev who Haye struggled with and was being falsely marketed as a champion....


    Rahman was a substitute for Povetkin... Hardly the same as being marketed as a mandatory contender. Thompson was old and had his short cummings, but at least he was fighting actively, winning regularly and at this point in their careers probably isn't as bad as Ruiz.




    I'm voicing an opinion. That's what people do on chat forums, or do I have to explain it to you? Nothing that I've said is unreasonable, only that you don't like it... That's fine.. If you don't like people voicing their opinions on chat forums, then maybe you should try something else.

    I dont have a problem with you voicing your opinion. But two threads pretty much on the same topic becomes repetitive.

    I thought Ruiz was the mandatory for the title?
