My reasoning is Haye chased Wlad but Wlad has shown little interest perpetually whereas Vitali has made his intentions clear even so much as coming to Haye's fight vs Barratt - why couldn't wlad have made it to the event too? Did Wlad duck Haye and send his brother in place or did Vitali simply want a some of Haye and Haye simply want to go after the better brother (Vitali)?
Vitaly is good at protecting his brother....Wlad never wanted to see Peter again, so Vitaly whipped him for him....Wlad never wanted any more beatings from Corrie Sanders, so Vitaly stepped in and did the job....its the same thing with David Haye, who would starch Wlad, so Vitaly will step in and get the job done....Vitaly is a hell of a big brother!
you idiot. ive repied to you about pro-british posts like this where you're being one'eyed about things and you've chosen to be ignorant only because you've never replied to one. if you dont want to grow up for the first time in your life and answer a challeneg that someone throws out at you without pushing it under the carpet again then i feel very sorry for you.
No, this is the other way around. That is, Haye is ducking Wlad. There are three reasons why he likely chose to dodge Wlad: 1. Vitali is older, and thus may have less stamina or 'become old' before/during a bout, giving Haye a better chance to win. Also, Vitali's body could break down before/during a match as it has in the past 2. Vitali is older, meaning that if Haye wants to fight him at all he should do so now before Vitali retires. Wlad will still be around to fight later 3. Vitali is perceived as the tougher and stronger Klitschko brother. So, if Haye is going to lose to one of the two men it might as well be Vitali. That way, Haye's reputation won't suffer as much from the loss Haye and his team know there is not a very good chance that Haye will defeat either Klitschko. That being the case, you make the smartest choice between them as to who you want to fight. Given the different variables mentioned above, Vitali is a good choice for David Haye. In the short term it probably increases the likelihood Haye will be defeated, but in the longer term (making $$$ and preserving Haye's reputation) it is, IMO, a better choice. Wlad clearly and emphatically called out Haye last night, and David has been saying for some time he wanted to fight Wlad. After he and his team stepped back, however, they likely realized Vitali was the better choice for them at this time.
I will answer your somewhat disrespectful 'challeneg' badintentions. What in the world makes you think I am pro british? The fact that I was disapointed in Wlad yesterday even though I have gone on record as loving the Klitchko's in the past? No, I am a fan first and foremost I like the boxers I like and question the judgements that seem suspect while entertainment is my ultimate goal not loyalty. It is you who is being ignorant and rude here no me - the gauntlet was thrown to Wlad he didn't answer it. And for the record surely when he called out Haye last night he must have known the contracts for a Vitali fight were about to be signed or had just been - do you honestly think he knew any less? That perhaps Vitali signed them behind his back? Please - don't make me laugh.:-(
Haye said he wanted Vitali, because people said he'd have a better chance against Wlad, so he wanted the harder fight, so its not a matter of Wlad ducking Haye, Haye set his sights on Vitali rather than Wlad.
ill stop "making you laugh" the day you tell me you're not british. i know i'm being hard on you but i also know you're 100% pro british so you need to hear this. just believe in yourself in real life and stop believng in someone who sets a standard for you in the real world and gives you someone to 'look up too'. seriously thats just baby**** - and you were born in any other country you wouldnt be doing this, would you?
See, now this is a nice, logical clear answer - thank you Boxing Gloves - I did ask a variety of opinions in my post but the responses I got make it clear people only read the subject line - I did actually ask everyone here for their views and whether - as you have pointed out - Haye wanted Vitali. So again thanks BG :smooch

i read you post. it's bs. what's ur deal with wlad hate threads? take away the hype and ur basically claiming the hw champ is ducking a fighter who has 2 hw fights against bums, and against barrett was decked 2x with grazing punches or slight pushes and looked sloppy, tired and weak in the clinch. think about that. haye is a hw hypejob til he beats someone with a pulse. haye has been effectively built up as the hw savior by himself and Sentanta
it also doesnt mean you're being bias because of you nationality. i dont know why people do it, but its very small minded to set yourself up like this - and you do it repeatedly. you havent denied one time that you're british and backing your own fighter and i'm not interested in foreplay.
