    I agree with you up till you said why should they take risks. I get its a business and losing hurts your marketability but as a man they should want to take a risk at least once in a while.

    That said, what risk are they supposed to take, there really aren't any right now.

    I think I know what's going on here. This coupled with Roach's prediction that Haye would smash Valuev...I think Roach wants to be Haye's trainer. He wants a heavyweight champion. That's what this is about. Pac will be leaving soon and Khan isn't a superstar...Roach thinks Haye might be the next big thing with his big punch and his big mouth...(shrugs) That's what I think.

    Once Wladmir fights Chambers and Povetkin they've virtually have fought just about all the top contenders in the division. It's not the Klitschko's fault Valuev and Haye, the only would be remaining contenders, have chronic yeast infections.

    I cannot see, that their fighting style is hurting the Kitschko-marketabillity. Klitschkos-fights are sold out, every time. Wladimir vs. Byrd was sold out in less than 48 hours. 61.000 people against Chagaev, indoor-world-record!!

    Millions of people watching Klitschko-fights!

    What is it with Roach's sudden hatred of Euro boxers, esp. Eastern Euro boxers? Klitschkos are not boring, Hell, they win their fights by KO or TKO almost all the time.

    The Klitschkos are here to fight EVERYONE in the division and last time I checked it was Haye who called Wladimir out and got the fight signed only to pull out with an injury and fight Valuev now. Haye also didn't show much interest in Wladimir and mentioned the "ridiculous contract" more than anything when the fight was officially off and Chagaev replaced him.

    and now Haye is complaining about the hotel!

    I wanted to see Vlad fight Haye, then got my hopes up to see Vitali Vs. Haye, but...........................it was Haye who backed out. I do not think Haye had a back injury for Vlad because he backed away from a fight with Vitali also.

    Looks like Roach is a bit bitter about being let go by Wladimir.

    Wladimir makes the right decision and since he is with Emanuel Steward, Wlad has improved as a fighter.

    Roach should stopped talking such ****.

    Jesus wept Klit fans are SENSITIVE.

    So WHAT if Roach says the Klit's are boring? Don't take it as a personal insult. Wladimir and Vitali are a bit boring. Because they are methodical, skilled fighters who don't have anyone to challenge them and can fight in a safety first manner.

    Haye is a more exciting fighter, as he's going to slug it out and there are always going to be knockdowns in his fights, whether its him or his opponents on the deck. But he is nowhere near as good a fighter as the klits. Don't feel so threatened kids. Your boys are the kings of the division. There is no need to start blubbing because someone rightfully tells it like it is.

    hmm says . . .

    hard to say they don't take risks when there isn't much competition in the division. there is competition and these fights should be made... the risks are there (ie. fight each other, valuev, haye, etc.) they just need to make the fights...

    another factor is that the level of competition in the division is severely lacking. they are a very dominant duo which their styles do not really appeal to the mainstream so they are under scrutiny...... i can't blame them much.....

    if they don't take risks, then they should seriously list all those who they should face....

    Dan Rafael is an idiot, and you using Dan Rafael as some sort of reference makes you look like an idiot. The guy downs Joe Louis is a borderline cruiser-weight and almost non-legit HW. He's a joke, he also apparently scored the Froch vs Dirrell fight for Froch. Real credible guy. What's next, you going to start referring to Bert Sugar's opinion? :lol: ****ing jackass.
