http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12183_4759603,00.html Looks like he is ducking him to me after saying that he'll go forward with fight with or without the WBC.Now it appears as though he'll honout his mandatory. Thoughts?
He is not ducking him. Yes he said he would go with or without the WBC, but he may as well hold onto the belt. I agree he ****ed Haye around a bit with the backpedalling, but I dont care really. Wladimir is the fight that needs to be made first. Vitali should givbe Gomez (A worthy challenger and intersting matchup) a shot first and target Valuev in the summer. Haye should try and get Wladimir for the Spring, and should he win that he will have to fight Povetkin in the Summer anyway. Win that, (while Vitali beats Valuev) and we have a superfight.
Vitali aint ducking Haye at all, he doesn't want to drop his belt so how does this make him look like he's ducking Haye? If Haye has another fight and wins, and Vitali wins like I'm sure he will.. Haye will get his fight.
I'd rather Haye fought Wlad so I think it is a good thing if Haye doesn't fight Vitali,atleast until after fighting Wlad
After all these actions and counteractions from both sides, the Klitschkos just have to fight Haye this year. If its Wladimir or Vitali, doesnt really matter to me as long as they make one of this fights happen. I predict Wladimir will be in Super defense mode to check out Haye. I can see him not throwing any right hand in the first rounds. Vitali would just walk forward and try to knock out Haye from the beginning. I really cannot see how these matchups play out, but i would favour both Klitschko, but Haye has definetely skill.
Do a bit of character research, and think about the fact that before a fighter hits the canvas for the first time, their fear levels are at a minimum. VK's never been down. Plus he's evil.
