    I don't see it as Wlad's fault that Haye pulled out.

    I'd be thoroughly pissed off too.

    The Klits are being slightly disingenuous here...when Vitali was "injured" he had more pull outs over a 4 year period than a Catholic marriage, so its a bit rich bitching about someone doing the same.

    Me either, I think Wlad behaved very well throughout the whole incident. Haye pulled out so Wlad took on the number 3 guy in the division on the same date. I know Haye fans will say he could have waited a month or so and fought Haye instead but I don't think that was ever a realistic option for Wlad.

    Haye needs to forget about the titles for awhile and concentrate on just getting some more fights under he's wing not that he has much choice with the klitschko's pretty much booked up for title matches. sad that this is he's punishment for injuring himself.

    how about vs John Ruiz get the hugger out of the title picture for good

    It would be good to see him KO Arreola but i would really like to see Haye against Chagaev but theres no guarantee that he beats Chagaev and thats what he needs though a fight against a good quality motivated heavyweight and not an overrated American.

    I am sure Arreola would be motivated, I just cannot guarantee he won't be overweight.

    Yes, if you can't fight #1 or #2 then you go for the highest possible other guy.

    Both Arreola and Povetkin have, I believe, title shots in the bag at the moment. Take them out and you become a mandatory.

    I think Povetkin is up next for Wlad.

    I can't see either Arreola or Povetkin passing up their title shots to fight Haye. IMHO Hayes going to have to take on a Chambers level opponent and wait until Xmas/ early 2010 and some dates with the Klitschos become avaliable again.

    They give him his chance he pulled out injured.

    In between all of that though, he insulted them, disrespected them and acted like a **** (their opinion not mine).

    They probably think they are getting their own back by shunning him now.

    Do not dis-credit the value of a Vitali vs Valuev fight in Germany.

    The only fights out there that our better than Monte Barret are;

    Wlad - to fight Povetkin
    Vitali - to fight Valuev
    Valuev - to fight Vitali
    Povetkin - to fight Wlad
    Dimitrenko - to fight Chambers
    Chambers - to fight Dimitrenko
    Arreola - ???


    I think this fight will happen in the states. Haye know that HBO only want to see the Klits fight him or Arreola, once he eliminates him from the equation, he is no only logical fight for either brother outside of the mandos.

    I could see it being on the Mayweather vs Marquez undercard maybe.

    Vitali - Valuev?? Awesome!!

    Haye should walk through a Banks and then take on someone like Kevin Johnson. He'd beat both handily in my opinion.
