According to Haye he would have been tied up for years just fighting the two brothers via contractual re-match clauses and unsurprisingly he balked. That's if he won of course!
Which is what i thought Haye wanted? Wlad/Vitali and then the other brother:huh Anyway, i think Hopkins is the much better fighter, but Haye is obviously the bigger man with the power to put Hopkins to sleep IF he can catch him. I would actually go for a massive upset of Hopkins, a well conditioned Hopkins winning a decision.
that is what HAYE WANTED. Haye asked for that he wanted to "fight the best" and knew he "needed to beat both brothers to be considered the champion" Hayes words
C'mon Chef, it takes two, y'know. Haye wanted the brothers, but like all prizefighters wanted them at the right price. They offered him crap money, with contracted fights against brother B should he win, followed by a rematch for brother A, followed by brother B rematch should he win that. It was unreasonable terms. Let's look at it another way: Haye within a few fights has taken WBA honours and is 'in the mix', how long did Wlad dick about with the WBO before stepping up? Incidentally, Haye would stop Hopkins, brutally.
Absolutely. Haye most definitely does not want the Klitschko brothers as he says he does. If he did, he wouldn't have backed out of the contracts.
Anyone who thinks Hopkins at this stage of his career stands a chance with Haye is an idiot. Simple as.
I find it a little disturbing that so far TEN posters think Hopkins would win. I wonder if they HAD to bet their life on this fight how many would change their minds!!! :yep
Give it a rest you pathetic queerhugger. Hopkins is calling Haye out, ****. Haye hasn't commented on the issue, ******. Get a clue, you desperate robot lover.:good
I won't bet my life, but with the right odds I'll bet my money - whereas I wouldn't bet any money on Haye and certainly not my life.
Well David, you know me and I certainly wouldn't count Hopkins out. I'd fancy Haye, but wouldn't bet my life on it either way. Would you?
LOL no chance, mate. None. Nadda. And how long has Old Man River been threatening to move up north of 175, not even gonna happen.
Yes, those Klitty sisters made the terms pretty horrible. Furtherm ore, against Wlad ALL of Haye's money was coming from British tv, and the fight was due to aired by Setanta. 2-3 weeks before the fight rumours surfaced that Setanta were in trouble and not long after they went bust
No I wouldn't by choice on ANY fight. What I meant was if those ten who favour Hopkins had NO choice. They HAD to bet their life on either Hopkins or Haye. How many would still pick Hopkins? Answer=Zero
