    If Vitali doesn't retire and refuses to fight Haye then Haye's only option is to fight Povetkin if he wants a belt. Povetkin is easily beatable in my opinion even in his back yard.

    Ustinov will be the man of the WBC division once he puts Pulev to the sword. No way does Haye touch Usty then with a 50ft bargepole.

    the sad thing about the klitschkos domination is that boxing itself would probably gain a bit if they both stepped a side and called it a day

    love to see an american heavyweight invasion led by seth mitchell 5-10 years down the road:happy:happy:happy

    He is ****ing God awful. But admittedly nails.
     
  15. If Haye does beat Arreola then fights Wlad, am I right in thinking that'd be the first Heavyweight to hold ALL Alphabet titles plus The Ring one?

    Not that it's a terribly massive deal, just curious.
