    Good. I can't remember the last time that I saw a mandatory challenger avoiding his title shot like he has. Obviously David Haye and Povetkin are absolutely terrified of Wladimir Klitschko. Why don't Povetkin and Haye just fight each other? Winner gets a dinner date with Wlad's assistant or something, since they obviously wouldn't be interested in fighting Wlad afterward. Hell... if a shot against Wlad was the award for winning, it would probably turn into the most hilarious fight of all time, with Haye and Povetkin each trying to sandbag the fight, dual dives to the canvas, ect...

    Haye is so scared of Wlad he must **** his pants every night dreaming about a fight with him.

    Nightmare.

    I will say this for Sam Peter he is stepping right up to the plate to fight. Gotta admire that. Not much pride in the top contenders in the heavyweight division.

    I dont understand Povetkin. He had a mandatory shot at the title...and ducked it. To me thats the goal of most fighters..to get that shot and seize it with both hands...not walk/run away.

    Whilst I dont like what Haye is doing I can at least understand his cowardice...he's trying to protect his paper belt. And naturally all the cheap talk before he had a belt has gone quiet because he now has a belt that he wants to protect.

    i'm not sure who'se more of a ***** between the two, they've dropped so many excuses between them it's becoming hard to know who said what...

    povetkin with all the "not ready" business, yet 3 years and four fights later he's still not "ready." Also tried to ***** out with a random blood test request but wlad called his bluff and agreed to it. and what's so sad about this punk is that he doesn't even have a belt, he's the fking contender :lol: the ibf did the right thing by putting him out of the top 10.

    as for haye ...
    haye bitches out of a fight with a phantom back injury, wlad gives another chance.
    haye complains about slave contract, wlad gives 50-50 and no rematch clauses.
    haye complains about venue, wlad ok we do it in england.
    haye says he wants vitali cause wbc is the better belt, vitali says welcome ***** let's do it.

    and after all the trash talk and wlad calling him out in the most disrespectful of ways, this guy still running. he disappeared. when's the last time he's given an interview, seiously is haye ok?

    only thing sadder than having these klits at the top of the hw division is having these two bitches in it. i'm not interested in watching a fight with a klit vs either *** cause they're already scared. knocking them out would be just a fomality.

    Agreed. Haye is a ****ing disgrace and Povetkin isn't far behind.

    I mean, you'd expect any contender to jump at such an opportunity: make good money and have a shot at becoming the champ. but naaaah, not in this division. They made our expectations so low that peter looks like a monster right now.

    Good point. Peter gets credit now just for acting like a real fighter.

    the HW is clearly becoming a sad division, not because of the guys accused of making it boring but by a bunch of contenders without balls to speak off.

    And the 'how can he be a coward, he's a professional boxer' angle doesn't hold up either. It's a huge, huge difference for guys like Haye and Povetkin to fight the Nolan's, Mora's, Barrett's and Ruiz's of this world than step in the ring with one of the brothers.

    the IBF did the right thing... put up or make place for real boxers.

    Still cant belive what Povetkin did.As for Haye,I think they are just waiting for Audley to confirm his shoulder will be ok for November then they will announce Aud as their challenger.
    Ive nothing against Audley but he wont do Haye`s reputation any good.Haye is in danger of turning his reign as champ into a farce.

    Haye will never fight Wlad, he has made that clear. his mouth is much much bigger than his balls. Wlad is the man right now no doubt. Peter also gets props for stepping up.
