  1. Damn, with the exception of Sam Peter and Vitali, the guy's on that list are lazy ass slugs, that really don't give a **** about their career's:-( a lot of guy's are afraid to fight because it seems as thou they fear losing :deal..

    That's why MMA-UFC is gaining fans!! and Boxing is losing it's ass:verysad..
    A lot of those guy's on that list are already or close to 40, i guess they don't give a ****, so why should the fans??

    Great Post, iceman. This is good information and it starkly underlines why there is such a proverbial stench arising from the whole HW division. I fear that it will never return to its former glory. The Klits are the best of the bunch, but I don't think they have had much competition to really prove themselves against.

    Yea, the HW's do suck, but it will get better (hopefully lol) in the next few years. Fighters like Haye and Adamek may give this division a nice, big breath of fresh air.

    Haye delayed Vitali and Vlad. Vlad went ahead and fought the real WBA champion instead of waiting around on Haye and Vitali is doing his best to keep fighting any top ten he can get. Vlad had planned to fight Chambers in December, but had the injury. Vitali and Vlad like to fight as much as they can. Haye is putting off the Ruiz fight as long as he can. Vitali would fight Haye Feb. or March if Haye would do such, but Haye does not want the fight.
