    Vitali made a statement after a challenge by Valuev that if Haye continues to avoid the fight Valuev may be next. Valuev said it would be a better fight because all Haye did was run and Vitali will be there to fight and so would he. I think Haye better go for the Vitali fight because Vitali may have only 2 more fights before he retires.

    It is very disappointing that Gaye has been avoiding KlitschK.O. like plague for more than a year. Gaye is willing to fight Toney's leftovers Ruiz and Holyfield but if KlitschK.O. is brought, he panicks. However, I am not surprised for Gaye did not want to fight Kevin Johnson.

    Valuev vs Vitali would be two huge guys, both looking clumsy, but also pretty exciting because Valuev is easy to hit but doesn't run or hide. Not that he could if he wanted to, anyway :)
    But Vitali doesn't strike me as the type to fight defensive. He throws 70+ punches per round when the target is there. Should be a good fight though neither will LOOK good.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    It is going to be hilarious watching Vitali smash Valuev who Haye ran from the whole fight while throwing 11.9 punches a round.

    And you think that Johnson would have been a worthwhile opponent after his latest showing?

    Ruiz is a mandatory and there is no way Haye asks to fight Holyfield out of respect for the former champ

    i doubt Haye is avoiding anyone, but Adam Booth may be

    Spoke to Mr Booth a couple of weeks back and would be very supprised if he is avoiding anyone. They have a plan to rule the roost for the next two years and then slide away to Cyprus.

    he probably isn't, I'm just saying its most likely the promoter and not the fighter who does the avoiding if ever because of business

    I do not know why some people bring Mr. Booth’s name in this case. They tend to forget that Gaye is Don King’s *****. I am not sure about Mr. Booth’s intentions but it is not up to him to decide. Facts show that Don King will match Gaye only with his fighters therefore no KlitschK.O. fight even if he wanted to. However, Gaye does not want to deal with KlitschK.O. We saw this happening. Gaye pulled out twice. Yes, Ruiz is a mandatory but what next? Another low risk fight.

    I base my judgement on Johnson not only on his last fight. I have seen 4 other fights of his. He did not fight like he did against Vitali KlitschK.O. I am sure he would fight in a different matter against Gaye.

    Haye will never agree to fight Vitali

    He might fight Wladimir, because of his weak chin, though

    Vitali needs to stay busy. I think he wants 3 more fights, preferably one with Haye. But if Haye still isn't ready, then Valuev-Vitali could likely do a lot of $$$ in Germany.

    Don King has nothing to do with Haye. Why do you keep saying he does?
