    Haye all last year (it seemed) was calling out Wlad in some shopping center or on uk tv. Wlad tells him essentially he hasn't earned a shot, etc. Haye beats Barrett which is a good Win IMO and then Vitaly agrees to fight Haye. Vitaly has a mandatory, Juan Carlos Gomez, whom is getting the shaft and whom vitaly is probably paying step aside money. Wlad apparently could take an optional defense (he is fighting Arreola, just announced). So my question is why didn't Wlad fight Haye? Apparently according to the Klitchko's (at least vitaly), haye has earned a shot. Haye had been calling out Wlad and has recently photoshopped a picture where he's carrying wlad's severed head. Wlad could've taken the Haye fight for the same time vitaly is scheduled to fight him and vitaly could've saved money and fought his mandatory.

    Because Wlad saw the Men's Health photoshoot pics and realised that he much prefers his head attached to his body :good

    Wlads chin was scared so his big sister Vitalia stepped in to protect it.

    I think the answer to this question might be Juan Carlos Gomez.


    either that or Haye wants to go straight for the best HW, not the 2nd best.

    in all reality haye hasnt done much to secure a title shot anyway other than call them out, though i do really hope he beats vitali, sadly that isnt gonna happen. Wlad on the other hand with his less than solid chin could potentially loose to haye if he ever gets past vitali

    Vitali wasn't really in the mix back when Haye confronted Wlad at that charity event. Vitali got his fame and name back in the heavyweight picture after he slaughtered no. 2 heavyweight Sam Peter. Maybe Vitali just takes insults more personally than Wlad and told little bro that he wants Haye's ass. Haye vs. either Klit is a mega-fight and will make tons of money.

    You earn your shot by fighting and beating high ranked contenders, not by photoshopping. This isn't WWE.

    Haye called out Vlad a 100 times.Showed up at an event and dogged him. Photoshops his severed head on a magazine cover and talks smack about him every time the camera is on. Vlad then calls Haye a Herbie Hide clone and says that he has'nt earned a shot at his title.......... but here......fight my big brother for his title. Nice. Must be hard being the big brother! Funny that he signed to fight Arreola real quick. CA is custom made for Vlad's new style. It seems ok to the fanboys to pay JCG step aside money but not Povetkin. I'm sure Alex would take the dough because Haye might win and he'd be a more winnable fight for Sasha.




    Vlad pulled a ***** move!
     
  10. Cos the princesses known as the Klitscho's want to protect their reign, so anyone with power fights vitali, anyone shot/useless fights Wlad.

    He was the undisputed Cruiserweight Champ. He stepped up once and fought a lower level heavy and blew him away. He also just beat Monte Barrett in brutal fashion. He deserves a title shot more than the likes of Hasim Rahman.

    I guess it was ok more FMJ to get his shot at DLH 154 title without ever fighting at that weight. I guess it was ok for Hopkins to fight Tarver at 175 without ever fighting at that weight. What about Calzaghe fighting Hopkins at his first roll at 175. Stepping up and fighting the champ at a higher weight happens all the time. Haye was as big as a lot of heavies on fight night when he was at cruiser. Being an undisputed Champ gives you the right to step up and fight Champs at higher weights. It's very common and you know it!

    I'm not saying that Haye necessarily earned a shot. I'm asking, if he is getting a shot (whether he earned it or not - though vitaly must think he earned it), why is it against Vitaly and not Wlad (in light of what i wrote).

    Because Wlad as a deserving challenger in Povetkin to accomodate next.

    Vitali may of had Gomez but nothing come of it so therefore its Vitali and not Wladamir who will shut Hayes mouth.

    If you listen to the Klitschko haters then its because Wlad was scared and he is totally **** so therefore Vitali had to step in:patsch

    Yeah but Wlad obviously isn't fighting povetkin anytime soon and is taking arreola, so how does the povetkin fight prevent wlad-haye?
