    Vitali and Haye aren't Champions.

    Now Peter II, Rahman, and Austin are Wlad's only defenses against fighters not recongized by Ring as top 10 heavyweights. However, all three were mandatories if I'm not mistaken. Chageav and Chambers were top5. Sultan, Brewster, Brock, and Thompson were top 10. Not a bad track record.

    But really these things happen; Lewis defended against Botha. Holyfield defended against Bean. And Holmes defended against plenty of fighters outside of the top 10. Ali did as well in his second reign.

    Adamek for sure against Vitali unless he stumbles, probably Chagaev against Haye, who knows about Wlad.

    Helenius is hard enough already and he is constantly evolving

    Vitali tried to get Haye to fight him, but no, same with Vlad. Povetkin will not fight them. Everyone seems to run from them. So, Briggs is big, has some power, has big mouth on TV fights. This is interesting fight early perhaps, but where is Haye? We could be watching Vitali Vs. Haye or Vlad Vs. Haye or Povetkin! We could be watching Pac Vs. Void if Void would fight!

    Will Haye fight his mandatory Chagaev? I doubt it.

    Soon K2 will have to face Adamek and Haye. ESB experts say Helenius is the next big thing, I say bull****. I'd like to see Robert get by Mariusz Wach.

    Haye is like Arreola said "a vagina". Adamek talks in the ring. I would think that Shannon could not do much better than Sosnowski.

    I admittedly didnt know Harrison was way downon the cards. And forgive me if I missed my point. Im not dogging the Klits (or really even Haye) for taking "easy" fights. Just pointing out how a weak division added in with splintered champions just makes for bad fights. We're really scraping teh bottom. Though I think the next round might create some better fights. Assuming the 3 "champions" remain on top through their fights a Chagaev-Haye fight could be entertaining, and I think while featherfisted Adamek will fight better against Vitali than Briggs will. Wlad's next challenger will be rough to find though.
