Vitali isn't a coward. He'd fight Haye, I'm sure of that. The problem is, Boente will not ever allow the fight to happen. He may be employed by K2 but he pulls all the strings. He's a modern day Rock Newman who cherry picks opponents. Boente is the coward, not Vitali.
Thanks for the clarification, Chef. But I also recall ready not long ago where Suliaman was not accepting Haye as a possible WBC sanctioned opponent. He said something to the effect of *Vitali will have to pick someone else*.
Now, what is Haye real worth in this fight? I`d say 30%, he is still a big name and top 5 in the division. Why don`t they just fix percentages, like they did for Wlad vs Haye, and split the whole ammount according to that? The Haye fight is by far the best option for Vitali. Career wise it`s bigger then the fights against Chisora, Solis, KJ, Briggs, Sosnowsky, JC Gomez. Remember, Haye is Wlad`s biggest career fight to date, Vitali can enjoy some of that too.
This is just an excuse. Fighters yes but the Klitschkos are not only fighters they promote themselve. They leave Universum in 2004 and since then they promote themselves, but you know this better than me. Vitali should never talk about Haye (IMO, write it several times on ESB, it was bad behavior after Wladimir won). That Haye wants big money, this is not new. If Bönte tells Vitali what to do, Vitali is the man i believe he is. Nothing but talk. Haye on the other hand should take the fight for less money. He can fight again for the Heavyweight Championship. If Haye believes he can win this fight, he should fight for nothing, after he won he can unify the titles with Wlad and make great money.
