    he's got no threat, but he's gotten death threats and I'm sure many of them called him the N word. I don't see how he's irrational, when the alternative is another country that be 98% backing Vitali.

    In Kiev, just like Moscow, he'd have no problem. There are always idiots with threats, but that doesn't make the entire place bad. It's irrational because if other blacks have fought in Moscow with no problems than what makes Haye different?

    Vitali's last fights gets to be in his home country, Haye can **** off if he's going to be irrational about it and not want it.

    I dont think he was afraid as he fought a much better southpaw in Collazo , I just think he didnt like the disrespect from Witter who did act like a **** whenever Hattons name was mentioned.

    Do Ukraine Skinheads hate the Russian Skinheads or vice versa? Seems like those countries are really screwed up regarding race/ethnic relations.

    :rofl it's well known that he was absolutely terrified of being made to fight Junior Witter. There are several YouTube videos showing it.

    One classic was ' junior Witter has been very rude to me over the years and called me a lot of names therefore I'm not fighting him.

    Junior Witter then said.. 'as long as my trainer and my team gets paid then I don't mind fighting for free just to prove that I can whoop Ricky Hatton.

    Hatton replied 'he doesn't deserve it'

    they all make excuses. it's the one thing i can't stand about fighters. that's why the way carl froch took his lost after ward was a breath of fresh air. but then he ****ed it up saying he thinks he can ko ward in a rematch.

    Um, no it isn't. Again, look at Moscow. Then, look at Kiev. And if you really wanted to know I think you can look at Dynamo Kiev, the local soccer team, where most of the players are prominently minorities.

    Haye has nothing to worry, it's irrational. Considering that soccer is much more popular than Boxing, there have been many prominent people in Kiev and Ukraine that are total minorities.

    Pac giving blood would be unfair against Floyd because he is the smaller guy :nut
    Pac having the wrong socks on for Morales/ blood weakening for Morales
    pac not doing plyometrics in the marquez 3 bout
