    Good for him. He came back, did something remarkable and defended his title fairly.

    Adios I guess.

    I agree with that and those 3 fights would bring a lot of excitement back to the division.

    How does being a C+ average student and barely earning a MBA, and having a criminal record that includes DUI and disorderly conduct qualify one for being US president for 8 years.

    Ask George W. Bush

    Vitali should pay Valuev 2.5 or 3.0 million USD. Then he outboxes the giant, sending a strong message to Haye "Look how it's done!, Don't hide behind Valuev/Haye II!".

    After that, enter the ring with Haye (IF David dares to), and defeat him. That would be a dangerous fight for both fighters, 'cause both know to hit where it hurts, have power, and risk a lot of reputation in the ring. But right now I'd give it to Vitali.

    Then, retire, and leave the two belts in the open, to be picked up by the likes of Haye/Chambers/Povetkin/Solis. Who get then beaten by Wladimir, who unifies all four ABC belts.

    THAT WOULD BE COOL!

    Looks like the scenario we all want to see! But I'm afraid there will be some kinks in the cable like always in boxing! :think

    Haye is Wlad´s opponent. It does not make sense that Vitali will fight Haye.

    Wlad wants to unify and i hope that Haye will have the balls to step into the ring with Wlad.

    Almost perfect, except that last paragraph leaves the door open for a bunch of crap to delay or derail a unification. The HW division has the man for the job in Wlad, and all he needs is the opportunity.

    SO, I would like to see it this way:

    1. Vitali beats the dog snot out of Valuev, sending the message to Haye...this is how it is done.

    2. Vitali defeats Haye, being too rangy and having too much power. Vitali by late stoppage.

    3. A farewell fight against Wlad. Wlad wins by UD or SD becoming the unified champion.

    I like Vitali alot better than Wlad, who at least doesn't mind going punch for punch with his oppenents. Wlad still tends to fight scared at times.

    Good fighter, but boring. Glad to see him go tbh. HW division needs a new breath of fresh air.
