    Has haye already been promoted to super champion so that the wba belt wont even be on the line? I mean rightly, Wlad already beat chagaev for it. Is it not on the line in their upcoming fight?

    Doesn't matter if Haye already is the "super" champ or not (I believe he is), as soon as the WBA belt is unified it automaticly "upgrades" to the "super" version and the "regular" instantly becomes vacant.
    It's the one thing in their policy they are strickt about, because it's always in their best interest. :-(

    I don't see anybody in the WBC ratings that Wlad can't beat, so I figureWlad will wait for a newly crowned belt holder then fight the man.

    The guy still has to agree to fight him... that's the major issue nowadays.

    Ok I didnt know that. So, when Wlad beats Haye he doesnt get the WBA belt or he does? If not thats 2 belts.

    I doubt he will unify, it will take at least a year for contenders to win WBC title after Vitaly retires. Then they will be protected for a year or two and in the mean time Wlad will be somewhere near 38 and probably he will lose his titles ... be realistic.
