    Boente said clearly on Ringside that the mandatory isn't a problem, the WBC would allow the unification fight to take priority.

    I'd agree. I don't mind which Klitschko he fights, but he obviously views Wlad as the softer option. And, to a lesser extent, Wlad has more belts, which makes the fight more marketable to the general public-they'd view a fight for the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts as a bigger fight than one for the WBC and WBA.

    Quite clearly this. It's a shame, as I think the Vitali fight would be great and a fantastic challenge. After promising to beat both brothers, it's disappointing he won't fight the one who is now available. But Haye clearly wants no part of him.

    Wlad is a much bigger fight than Vitali, everyone wants to see Wlad - Haye, it's the fight on everyone's minds.

    Haye - Vitali would be a big fight too, but considering the negotiations would more than likely be the same it isn't as talked about.

    I think Haye should just fight Vitali July 2nd, he'd beat him now, Vitali is old and slow. Unify the WBC and WBA and then **** Wlad. Doing that would seriously dent Wlad's legacy.

    Wlad is scared.

    Thats besides the point and infact thats incorrect. For this bull**** taking Haye to gain any sort of respect or legacy he needs to fight both no? So why not fight Vitali? Solis would happily step aside.

    I didn't hear but my missus was and was just saying that she thought that Haye came across as evasive and that VD landed a lot more punches on him then Fraudley ever did (I wrote that, my missus doesn't know boxing or talk like a tabloid headline writer)

    The casual fan doesn't even know which brother is which, and you know Vitali/Haye would be a massive fight. Vitali is the one who's more fun to watch anyway and Booth last year was on about how they wanted Vitali first (in response to a call out from...................................... Wlad:lol:)

    Add to this the fact that Haye promised to knock out both brothers (and has been saying this for over 2 years) and you can now move on to the next pathetic excuse (That Vitali is fighting Solis, although this is not as desperate an excuse as saying "no one cares about a Vitali fight"). Looking at it in the cold light of day, Haye is not a fans fighter. He's a businessman first, celebrity second, and fighter third.

    Remember that Wlad/Chisora was going to happen anyway and was decided long ago. Haye fans like to make out that it just came out the blue as a response to Haye calling out Wlad (kind of like how Haye was supposed to fight Vitali and then out the blue decided to go for Valuev instead).

    But yeah, Wlad is the coward for fighting a bum like Chisora, while Haye is a great businessman for fighting Audley so fair play to him for making a massive payday and fair play to him for being able to make millions while fighting only twice a year against low level opposition. Haye should be congratulated and applauded because "we would all have done the same thing". That's how some Haye fans actually see it:lol:

    Considering his actvity level and recent opposition, you Haye fans should just be happy to see your man in the ring against any K bro instead of being picky about which fight you'd rather see.
