What would you think of Wlad if he fights Arreola instead of Haye?

    Yes i think he beat Couser in 2 in the return.

    I dont blame Haye going for Wlad or Vitali as you say the money will be better and the man has balls for doing so ts just the sheer lack of disrespect that he portrays that annoys me.

    The difference is Wlad is ****ing Dull to watch and the punters want to see a HW Champion put his stamp firmly on the crown!! But he prances and Jabs and looks genuinely weary of getting caught...thets no champion I want to see!! He's a good HW who has wrestled the belt in apoor division!

    Yeah, but the disrespect your talking about is how you have to promote fights now adays. What Haye did was call Wlad out knowing it was going to be on youtube and talked about by boxing insiders, which makes people more interested in the match, look no further than ESB to see how excited people have got for the prospect of this fight.

    Haye's no different than self promoters like Tyson and Hopkins, they know by doing crazy things, like stepping on a flag or starting a fight at weigh-in will get the coverage on ESPN, which means more people watching the fight, which equals more money in there pockets at the end of the day.

    :goodI see it practically the same way buddy, if Wlad was fighting his prime years in the 90's he would never survive, he would probably grab a belt, but I doubt he would hang onto it long.

    Your right...although I'd really like to see something from him to prove us wrong!!

    The division is so **** poor that I'm hoping Haye can come in and freshen things up a bit and I can see him beating Wlad..but the only trouble is that we will be in the same position then with one GOOD CHAMPION and next to no good opposition!!

    In and Around Junior Welter is where its at now for me..The amount of possible matchups in the lower weight divisions are ****ing Tremendous!!

    Yeah, it's damn shame. Just a decade ago, you had fighters like Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Ibeabuchi, Tua, and a few others getting people's attention at Heavyweight. Now you have the Klit brothers, you have one that fights once in the last 4 years, and another that fights scared because of how weak his chin is. As long as Haye's chin holds up, you will see the division rise in popularity because has that "It" factor, only a select few at Heavyweight ever had that.

    I'll be glad he's staying active, Arreola's an undefeated fighter and it's better to fight him than be inactive waiting on Haye.
