    So......does this mean Haye is fighting Chagaev?

    I understand Boystov signed for Golden Boy today so perhaps Boystov will be the one who gets the Haye fight.

    English mate, not british.

    I'd prefer to see haye vs a champ then haye vs a challenger. Maybe it's just me I dunno.

    I assume it means haye can wait for the result of vitali/solis or maybe even wlad/derek.

    Beating Chagaev should legitimize his WBA paper belt to a degree, Chagaev being the WBA champion before Wlad beat him.

    What if he waits and can't make a deal with the Klitschkos? He'd be inactive for almost a year.

    That's my first thought looking at the date.

    Whether that happens or not...

    Potentially:

    -Vitali defeats Solis in March
    -Haye and Vitali schedule for the original July 2nd fight date in a WBA/WBC unification
    -Mormeck and Rahman have their eliminator in May - winner gets the champion from the 7/2 match say late 2011

    The key is the date imo. It gives haye longer to wait for vitali/solis.

    Due to the wba sanctioning the eliminator it means haye has to fight a bro or he'll end up wasting his career on a rematch with mormeck.

    But if he does get the fight with vitali/solis it adds impetus to a fight wlad.

    The WWE now has more credibility than the WBA

    Pathetic, absolutely pathetic
