Haye has almost admitted that he is dodging Vitali; and Wlad he only wants to fight on his terms when it comes to date and venu. Wlad is the guy with four belts and multiple defences, not Haye.
That little trinket doesnt matter. Why doesnt he just say do a Riddick Bowe and throw the belt in the bin. Then say to Wlad or Vitai (WHY WONT HE ENTERTAIN VITALI?) right! When do you want to fight?
It is painstakingly easy to differ those who think with their minds from those who think with their emotions.
I agree. Both brothers now know Haye is in a lose/lose situation (in wich he manouvered himself), and are looking to toy with him now. Looks like the brothers are trying to make Haye fight Vitali against who he doesn't stand much of a chance. If he doesn't fight at least one of them, and retires Haye will look like a bigmouthed fool forever. If he doesn't retire it's just the latest in a long line of lies and the Klits and the boxing fans will trash him for it! And might he lose his next mandatory, he's the joke of the boxing world. While this is of course "foul play" by the Klits, Haye did make this happen with his games and crappy fights.
So what was stopping him from signing after Wlad beats Chisora or alternatively, with Vitali after he beats Solis? When does Haye need a contract in his hand? He can still have a unification contract well before the 12 months is up if he signs with Vitali after the Solis fight. However, strangely, when Wlad became unavailable, Haye refused to consider this (obvious) option. Immediately and inexplicably ruled it out. Why? I thought that fighting a Klit was his most burning desire? The WBA are also notoriously flexible (corrupt) when it suits them. What are the provisions for extensions?
I would prefer that at least one of the Klits proved how limited Haye is in the ring. However, if that doesn't happen, then it won't be a tragedy. Haye has been hyped up as something he isn't. I have him in the middle of the top ten at heavy. Fighting Adamek will be historically as significant. In the long run, Haye would be another predictable KO within 6-7 rounds, and afterwards, a lot of people will wonder what the hell they were smoking when they ranked him. The thing is... if Haye does get into the ring with Wlad, it will be for his retirement fund. He doesn't want to win, he knows that he can't. So he will just be showing up to get his paycheck. Having that denied to him, while the Klits go on beating fighters that are better than he will ever be (and with much less hype) would have a certain amusement factor. Watching him slip from C grade celebrity to D grade, then into oblivion.... yeah that isn't the worst thing that can happen. Seeing some tabloid show a photo of him in ten years, fat like a blimp and working as a janitor. That would be priceless. Still, while he doesn't deserve the honour of being in the ring with one of the Klits, while he just isn't good enough and will get humiliated, while he doesn't deserve the massive amount of money he would get.... having the gif of his senseless head bouncing off the canvas as part of my sig block is the preferred outcome.
Saying the belt doesn't matter is stupid. Compare the terms the Klits give to opponents in voluntary defences (including the ones Haye orginally signed for) with the terms on the table for Haye now that he has a belt and it's a unification fight. That is why he won't give up the belt. **** me. Right, so you're saying Haye should wait to see how Wlad - Chisora goes on April 30? So you're actually implying that should Wlad lose or be injured then Haye could find an opponent, sign the fight, arranged a venue and TV date, train AND fight all within 30 days before he is stripped? I'm sure the WBA rules allow a champion to turn round and say to the number one contender 'you have to fight me in 3 weeks - be ready' atsch. Thinking really isn't your strong point is it. I like all of your 'the WBA is corrupt', 'what are there provisions for extentions' . . . . blah blah blah - Why doesn't Wlad not fight a 14 fight novice and we'd have the fight. You're hatred for Haye (a person you do not even know) is embarrassing - look how much resentment you have towards the guy. You act like a teenage fangirl towards someone who has been 'dissin' your favourite boy band. This is why you are incapable of looking at tings objectively, because your judgement is so clouded by irrational hatred. When you're talking about why a fighter can't exploit an organisations corruption, instead of asking why a fighter can't not fight a 14 fight novice who has no place in the ring with him, well - that tells us all we need to know about your objectivity
People dislike the Klits for the uninteresting & uncompetitive nature of their fights over the last few years. They also dislike them because a large portion of their fans spout contentious nonsense about their abilities & legacies. Say whatever you like about Haye outside the ring. His fights are far more entertaining, he takes more risks & is much more pleasing on the eye than a stiff-backed safety first approach to a mis-matched opponent. But he should get grief for the Harrison fight/non-event.
You are coming across as psychotic and stupid. Please desist. Actually your posts have been getting worse and worse. I am sure that if you could bring yourself to avoid this topic you would be a decent poster. But as it is, your bias is blindsiding you. As to your post: No, I never said any such thing. Thanks for playing. That is known as a strawman argument - you know, for people whose strong suit isn't thinking. I asked a question as to why it could not be done. I have yet to see any actual explanation - only speculation. However, I have only had blind bleating fanboys regurgitating crap and insults. A category of poster I thought you might be too good to fall into, but apparently you really, really want to join. So, If Haye can fight Wlad on July 2nd and that will meet his WBA obligations, then were does this '30 days' come from? If July 2nd is acceptable to the WBA, then that is at least 9 weeks. How far can this be extended? When does he need a signed contract in his hands? If it absolutely needs to be in his hands before the 12 month mark then he clearly can't fight Wlad - unless the WBA are willing to be flexible. Does this leave room to fight Vitali instead? What are the WBA rules for extensions? What are the other options? Sorry for suggesting that the WBA are corrupt, that appears to have hurt your feelings. I am sure that they, and every other boxing sanctioning body, are paragons of virtue. I have asked these questions before, and all I get is ******ed bleating. I'm willing to be fair - that's why I am asking them.
The heavyweight division has been overrated for years. The last truly great heavyweight fight I've seen was this and this fight happened like 6 years ago. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjuXgo8icuE[/ame] The last great title fight happened about 8 years ago. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az7lZe4LUJs[/ame] The only thing the heavyweight division still brings is devastating ko's thanks to the Klitschko's but no complete fight has been classic for about a decade. People wonder why the lower weight classes have been getting so much love lately. Haye isn't going to bring anything of importance to the division as long as he doesn't fight a Klitschko....
Seriously... 3 WBA title fights and Haye was responsible for the worst 2 of the last couple of years. This content is protected Punch output averages 12 a round, running circles avoiding the fight. You dare to call that fight entertaining????? This content is protected Ruiz on the attack! Seriously Ruiz on the attack! Ruiz on the att... :blood Putting him down in round 1 and not engaging at all after he got up! This content is protected You do agree with that one yourself, voted mismatch, worst round, and worst fight of the year by a vast majority of the ESBers. Tell me please, in wich fight of those was Haye actually entertaining? :think
Nice attempt at the spinarooney. I have no bias, you on the other hand are the poster who just wrote: "Watching him slip from C grade celebrity to D grade, then into oblivion.... yeah that isn't the worst thing that can happen. Seeing some tabloid show a photo of him in ten years, fat like a blimp and working as a janitor. That would be priceless. having the gif of his senseless head bouncing off the canvas as part of my sig block is the preferred outcome." Hmmm, a beacon of neutrality I see? :-( I urge to find a post of mine displaying a fraction of the bias that you have demonstrated here. May I ask what satisfaction can be derived from playing such a fool? Did I say you said it? No. I said that it was implicit in what you wrote. There is a difference. When you say "So what was stopping him from signing after Wlad beats Chisora or alternatively, with Vitali after he beats Solis?" this implies that you either don't understand that the mandatory should be fought before June, or that 1 month is enough time for Haye to find an opponent, sign the fight, book a venue, schedule a TV date, train AND fight. Which one is it? :dead I (perhaps over optimistically) assumed that you're aware that governing bodies often make exceptions to their mandatory rules in order to allow unification? If Haye was to sign to fight Wlad now, with no Chisora fight, then he would have a cemented unification fight arranged on July 2nd. It appears that this is enough to satisfy the WBA. However, postponing the mandatory for little more than the hope that a unification fight might happen two months down the line is not quite the same is it? Given how protracted negotiations have been between the parties in the past, those alone could take a month alone. A Chisora win could bring about a champion with no intention of unifying. If you can't differentiate between the two scenarios then I genuinely don't know what to suggest. Maybe a strong dose of anaesthetic? As for the WBA's particular policy of the deferral of madatories - I don't know, nor do I have much interest. Wlad has opted to fight Chisora, so this point is moot. I do not dispute that the WBA, or any other body is guilty of corruption. My issue is with your mentality that Haye exploiting this is a more legitimate avenue to explore than having the recognised World Heavyweight Champion declining to fight a 14-0, British level (at best) novice and instead signing to fight a unification fight. I assume that you condone Wlad's decision to fight Chisora?
All of the above were far more entertaining (Harrison not included) than any of Wladimir or Vitalis recent fights. Chagaev was the most boring fight I have ever seen, closely followed by many others involving either brother. Do you think that Haye should have stood toe-to-toe with SNV for 12 rounds? Is that a winning strategy? At least he fought SNV, neither brother wanted anything to do with Sugar. Ruiz hadnt been down or stopped since Tua. That fight was more exciting than anything either K has produced in years.:deal
