Haye is the charismatic opponent Wladimir has been needing, someone that will bring a HW title fight to the mainstream. Haye just has to get some wins at HW first.
I want to see him fight Vitali. That is really the only 'super' fight out there. It would get insane media attention crossing over to the mainstream news outlets talking about two brothers fighting. Plus based on their styles and abilitites it would be great. Maybe if Haye beats someone good they can make a good promotion out of it. Peter is boring they already fought. Valuev would be interesting just because of the size.
There really isn't much out there. As far as big fights, Peter would probably be the biggest heavyweigth fight that can me made, their viewed by most as the top 2 guys, and in their first fight Peter dropped Wlad 3 times but was outboxed in every other round. Both have improved since the fight, so a winner here if the fight were made now would leave absolutely no questions as to who is the undisputed champ. It'd probably be boring though, most heavyweight fights are.
Vitali has the fight with Peter, but Vlad would be glad to knock Peter out if the fight does not happen, but first Vlad has to fight his mandatory. Haye? What a joke! Haye is not a mandatory, he is nothing, he has to fight somebody and get ranked for real. He needs to become a mandatory.
Sam Peter is alot quicker, sharper, smarter since the first time he fough Wlad and Wlad is the same if not worse, If Sam Peter beats Vitali I would be pretty convinced he's improved enough to beat Wladimir Klitschko
THE fight? I´d like to see this fights (after wlad fought Povetkin): 1. Valuev (everybody wants to see this fight) 2. Haye (theres nothing to argue about) 3. Peter (if Peter beats Vitali) 4. Chagaev (if he comes back) 5. Briggs (I want to see this fight, please Shannon come back!!!) 6. Brian ,the Beast, Mintoooooooo
really ???????????????? I think Peter's Chin was exposed and Peter is slower. Wladimir has improved a lot and become the clear nr. one in the divison. The best Peter wins since the lose to Wlad were against two old man Maskaev and Toney, and Toney beat him in their first fight. Peter was down three times and his chin was exposed by McCline and he has only one Ko against a top 15 fighter (the out of shape 39 years old injured Maskaev) Wladimir has beaten the nummber on Chris byrd and unifiy the titels wins against the unbeaten still underrated Ibragimov. Be beat Calvin Brock and Thony Thompson. The tko vs out of shape Brewster was as good as Peter's win vs out of shape Maskaev.
Seriously though a man like wlad beating chris feather duster byrd is nothing special how do you think byrd would of got on in the 90's ?
Obviously it is SAM PETER. If Peter wins against Vitali this October then that fight becomes intriguing. But the heavyweight division is in a sad state right now and Klitschko with his boring style does nothing to stimulate excitement. Haye has not proved anything at heavyweight yet. It is just blahblahblahblah...and he seems to be running from a 40 year old former middleweight. He needs a solid win over someone like Toney or Lyakovitsch first then we can start talking. Then there are Chagaev and Valuev. Klitschko will beat them with ease and these matchups are not very markeable in the States anyway as two Russians will fight each other. The heavyweight division is suffering under this Russian invasion, I am telling you. I am not even gonna bother talking about the quitter Rahman and this young guy Arolea who is not ready yet.
but Ive noticed peter goes to the body more now and doesn't throw one punch at a time instead he throws punches in bunches, that's exactly what you need to beat Wlad, enough power to demand respect and also have the much much higher workrate, that's something peters got and with the right tactics he should be able to beat wlad but then again I did think the same thing of Zab before the Clottey fight and we saw physical abillities is nothing without smarts
against haye you got a guaranteed 20,000 sell out at the 02&huge tv numbers+theres abit of needle there,its an easy sell.
