I ve read that there are tough negotiations going on behind close doors between the Klitschko camp and Valuev 's one.
I say neither Haye nor Arreola are serious about a title shot until 2010. They will not sign to fight V.K. as quick as Sept. 2009..... I smell some bull**** here..... I sense V.K. will more than likely have to settle for a "Cheery Pick" opponent if he's looking to stay active.... It is insane, however, none of the so-called contenders that are available right now want to screw with the "K" brothers............ The list includes the following of: "Haye, Arreola, Povetkin & Valuev." I know these strokers will duck and dodge all bullets this year...... DON'T LAUGH! It ain't funny.. But I will not be shocked if V.K. gets stuck defending against the likes of John Ruiz or Fresno Oquendo.... The champion is kinda' screwed if the so-called contenders are not too thrilled about fighting him this year...... I'm guessing that Vitali Klit will have to settle for a "Softie" this time around..... atsch:roll::twisted::|:-tired:deal MR.BILL:bbb Note: On second thought, perhaps Olego Maskaev MIGHT just get his title shot after all.?.? The 39 year old Maskaev seems to be the ONLY guy with a set of balls.......
:admin I hope you are right, but I'll believe that when I see it. I think Haye is who it'll be, as King/Valeuv are scared of Vitali hitting him (them).
Yes, two months for Haye to train is enough time. Its not like he's outta shape......he was almost complete with his training when he hurt his back, so he'll already have alot of his conditioning done.........he'll won't have to start all over again......... He's got plenty time. Two months is plenty time, and I think it'll be Haye. :good
Any of these 4 are good for any of the Klitschko brothers right now: Haye Valuev Povetkin Arreola Preferable situation: VK v Valuev WK v Povetkin VK v Arreola WK v Haye two wins for each brother, and VK with the last belt, and then what?
The way Valuev fought against Holyfield and the circumstances surrounding the Chagaev fight have pretty much ensured that his days are numbered as a player in the division. He'd be wise to cash out against Vitali. He doesn't have any legacy to work on and he doesn't have an undefeated record to protect. People are fed up with him getting gift decisions (he's gotten 2 or 3) and he just brings nothing to the table other than curiousity, which itself has eroded as early as 2006 when HBO showcased him in a horrible fight against Barrett. Nikolai needs to step up and fight Vitali. Despite what we already know, that being that Valuev isn't in Vitali's league, seeing two guys that big go at it makes it an intriguing matchup nonetheless.
