"David Gaye will always duck the top 5 ATG that is Vitali :deal" I've got a mind that this guy is on the wind up but **** it I'm posting it anyway :shock:
Haye is a proven coward who broke a signed contract with Vlad for big money and titles, he ran. Chagaev beat Valouev, won WBA title, Vlad beat Chagave, but WBA took title away from Chagave and gave it to Valouev right before the fight so as to make some money off Haye. Haye ran like Hell, threw hardly any punches and survived 12 rounds without fighting, was given a gift by powers-that-be, however, Don King has rights, rematch will happen. Vlad beat Chagave, the "real" WBA champion, so Vlad really won the title, not Haye. Haye did not fight Chagaev. Haye broke am implied contract with Vitali for title and big money, ran like Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haye is coward and fake hero. What has he ever done but run? Solis stopped Haye as an amateur.
If you take a pure record with % of KO he is definitely top 5 ATG. The level of competition is however somewhere top 50 at HW.
LOL Neither the Klits (at this point) nor Haye are ATG fighters. Having said that, both Klits track record is 10x more impressive than Haye's. He just wasn't very active and he said he wants to retire in 20 months. He isn't fighting for legacy, he just wants to make enough money to retire early. Can't blame him. Life is short, he has a young family from what I read. Why spend years in the gym to gather 50 millions if you can retire on a few million.
The fact is Haye already bolted from to offers to fight the kltischkos, then threw about 6punches a round, afraid to engage with Valuev until the final round. Ruiz is past his best, but it would not surprise me if he stops Haye from what looks to be a medium level punch. It must be frusterating being Fighting weight. All this hope and build up, yet Wlad has won 11 fights in a row.
We will see how serious Haye is about fighting the brothers after the Ruiz fight. I have a feeling him (and Sauerland!) will erect all kinds of obstructions to an immediate showdown. Sauerland wants to keep their hands on the WBA strap and won't let go of Haye before he didn't work down all the options. If I was Sauerland I'd first enforce the Valuev rematch contract with Haye. Then, if Povetkin loses to Wlad have Povetkin face Haye. That would give Sauerland two decent shots at getting the WBA title back. If Haye prevails against Ruiz, Value and Povetkin then hopefully we can see him against Wlad. Vitali will certainly be retired by then.
