    I was told Haye is fighting Adamek next.
    Whether that fight actually happens is another story.

    Haye wants to fight one of the Klits. One of the Klits already agreed to fight him. Haye might have his retirement earlier than expected.

    were you told that from Booth?.....Wlad was, thats the difference

    IMO Haye had every intention of fighting Harrison. Haye himself has stated he has looked at web sites so you know he has seen the back lash about him fighting Harrison and thats why this might not happen

    What I don't like about Haye is that his HW stint has been just one long ongoing saga. In the few fights he's had it's been seemingly endless BS outside of the ring with will he or won't he, maybe this maybe that. It's like he's negotiating world peace, not a fight against a decent HW.

    If he just fought Audley and dispatched him ... ok. but even a fight against Harrison has turned into some kind of guessing game.

    At least Wlad seems to fight often and seek out very decent opposition and close the deal without too much drama. Povetkin is actually probably a more accomplished HW than Haye anyway.

    Fact: Wlad was publically stating his interest in fight haye. Haye was quiet and in hiding and waited until after Wlad-Povekin was signed to open his big mouth when he knew he was safe from actually having to fight Wlad.

    I know it you know it anyone with half a brain can see that.. But people who still defending haye have to grasp at straws because its hard to defend his actions the last 2+ years.

    How blind do you have to be to not see what Haye is doing?

    The level of competition could hurt the Wlad and Vitali's ATG rankings. They are doing their level best to seek out the best available. If they weren't so far above the rest of the field people would be going ape **** over the division because it would have a lot of closely matched competitors. There are plenty of interesting match ups if you remove the Klitchkos.

    This is true IMO, a good point. Povetkin/Haye would be a really interesting fight for me. And it could be argued that Povetkin has avoided Wlad up until now, but the way he has done it has been ok. I think Wlad and maybe Vitali will need to just accumulate numbers of defences to enhance their legacies.

    What a load of rubbish. You're a perfect example of everything that is wrong with K2. Spread disinformation which began with Wlads "call out" video. It's a shame that there are mugs on this forum who believe everything you say. If you really knew the specifics of K2's offer then I don't know how you can come on here and say they offered Haye 50/50 of the WHOLE pot.

    I always said he'd get into acting--just wait--and would milk this without fighting anyone capable of KTFO.

    CHEF, did Haye offer Wlad a deal? I mean, did he even make an effort to put up a contract that would have been even remotely competitive?

    I dont know about counter offers. I will know know more when I get to the next training camp. From the way Wlad was talking about it, it seems like they were not very close to a deal
