Haye must take this fight if he wants to jump the queue. I think Povetkin would be a very stearn test. Haye has a big mouth, so I hope he doesnt expect to get a title shot after a fight with a Rahman, McCline or such like.
The WBC heavyweight title is a mess at the moment. Klitschko & Virchis have both been promised shots so Haye may have to look elsewhere.
Povetkin would beat Haye however. He needs a name like Rahman to get him a shot vs Peter, (admittedly may take a while as the WBC have about 5 final eliminator fights for his title) or maybe Chagaev.
You sure about that. Povetkin did not look in good shape in his last fight. He looked fat and gassed. Also he is easy to hit. The only plus I saw in Povetkin was his workrate. I am sure Haye would beat him. I think the easiest option is Peter, the big fatso will be too slow and Haye would KO him.
I hope the fight comes off as I would love to see Vitali school Peter plus it would be free to watch on one of the german satellite channels.
No because here have been far worse comeback fights for championship belts. I just want to see someon school fat Peter. I think he is a total disgrace to boxing and damn right dangerous with his punches to the back of opponents heads. Vitali would do a number on him and it may force fat Peter to retire or become a gatekeeper.
But then we'd have old sick note putting peoples careers on hold plus no chance of an undisputed champ if the two brothers are holding the belts. You seem to have a lot of irrational hate Kurt. Why is this?
Peter is terrible to watch and just clubs behind the head constantly. If Vitali's body holds up he will beat Peter. Vitali was by far the best heavy when injuries forced his retirement. Haters stating he was scared of Rahman is hilarious
Povetkin has looked good but has done little to explain the hype that he is this super smashing great boxing star. He is good but only because the division is weak of real top class fighters. We have a bunch of guys that are pretty similar so even guys like Wlad look amazing. Haye could come in and do some serious business and I would expect him to beat Povetkin who uses his face has his defense, he would not get away with that against Haye. However Haye could still turn out to be a big dud and I am sure no one would be surprised if he gets KOed the first time he faces a game opponent.
