    So will he be fighting for the vacant 'regular' title when Povetkin faces Wlad, or will he be fighting Povetkin?

    Haye was given his chance and a 50/50 split. Not sure what beating Valuev in that disgraceful fight even proved? Especially considering Wlad already thrashed Chagaev who beat Valuev anyway.

    Again, what is there to whine and cry about? Haye already had his chance and blew it. The guy doesn't want to engage. Who wants to sit through that crap again? I sure as hell don't. It is a waste of time.

    Boxing isn't a tag team sport.

    Still doesn't answer the question......

    What is Haye entitled to? The way you Brits whine and cry on here daily you would think Haye is being frozen out of a Title shot and that is just not true. He had a chance under more than fair terms and didn't try to win.

    You should be upset with Haye not the Klitschko's.

    I realize you Brits are desperate because all your Champions and prospects keep getting KOed on the World level but crying on here every single day isn't going to help.

    Haye would be better off cherrypicking someone in one the ABC orgs top 3. That would probably get him a Mandatory but the problem is all Haye cares about is money and he isn't going to settle for taking 20 or 25 percent which is what the Orgs offer for Mandatory fights.

    You guys are in a real dilemma at this point. Maybe it is Haye that needs to just hang them up and not Vitali who is waiting on the Arreola-Stiverne fight results?

    That's good news. I'd like to see him in a decent fight before getting a title shot.

    Ok, so if he wants Vitali, then he should call out #1 contender Arreola. Make a big fight on HBO with 24/7 and all that. Both of those guys can sell a fight--it would be huge.

    It's not complicated--Haye's star power puts him in a privileged position.

    Boente has already stated that Haye is a legit Top 5 heavy and is 1 big win away from earning a shot.

    You generally get much more than that if you are mandatory. The purse bids are worked out, in many cases mandatory's get about 50%. Stop talking ****.

    Sorry but that isn't true even if it goes to purse bid you still only get 20 or 25 percent depending on the sanctioning body.

    I think it'd be good if Haye goes after some of these shitty mandatory contenders. Clean up among those lazy bums. Get himself in a mandatory position ideally for the WBC belt so we can have a big unification with Wlad down the line.

    I don't like Haye but I rather have him go for a mandatory shot than have guys like Arreola/Stiverne/Fury/Helenius wait and wait and wait.

    Tag team has nothing to even do with it. Haye isn't entitled to anything. Sorry.

    Sounds like a good fight to me! Then if Haye beats him K2 has another good revenge narrative.

    Good points Rico. I can tell you're making the Brits slightly mad.
