    simple question.

    looks increasingly like a deal has been reached. is the 8 week difference between fighting chisora and fighting haye enough time for wlad?

    i personally think it is and fully expect wlad to retire haye in a couple of rounds.

    He will already be in shape presumably for the Chisora fight, so yes.

    This is if the negotiation rumours are true of course.

    Wlad will KO Chisora early, make a point.

    Then they will presumably jump straight into promoting Haye v Wlad.

    Assuming all of these rumours are true.

    i appreciate promo time might not be a lot, but from a fighting point of view i can't see wlad needing too long. he has two victories over byrd who was just as elusive if not more so than haye.

    infact that's be good sparring for wlad. byrd and hide.

    haye should get a tall sparring partner like ustinov or vitali

    If the deal was really made . . . 8 weeks prep should be enough since Wlad is coming in from another fight.

    Barring that Chisora hurt or cut Wlad seriously then there should be no excuses if Wlad loses.

    Wlad could beat Chisora on Friday and KO Haye on Saturday.

    It's just another day at the office for Wlad, Haye isn't as big a threat as people would like to believe.

    i don't think there could be since wlad was insistent on fighting derek, and everyone has come out and said this is the most viable date for it.

    there can't be any excuses unless it's a dubious decision/stoppage. which is why they better get a damn experienced ref.

    that idiot who reffed montiel-donaire should be nowhere near the fight because heavyweights can't take them extra shots when they're gone, it's too damaging.

    but they can't have the kind of ref that stopped calzaghe-manfredo.

    with two kayo artists like this, choice of ref is crucial.

    I don't think David Haye is as serious a threat as he is made out to be. He looked very average against the only legitimate opponent he's had at heavy, and Niko is probably the worst heavyweight champion in history. Haye had speed, movement and power advantages and he hardly landed anything. He won't have any significant advantage against Wlad. If people think all Haye needs to do is land one big right to beat Wlad they are sadly mistaken. I think Wlad will outthink him, outbox him, constantly hurt him and probably stop him around the midway point of the fight.

    Yes
    Klitschko is usually always in shape, 42 days is more than enough time

    I think they could announce the fight is happening in two weeks and sell out a stadium and do big ppv numbers i think 8 weeks is plenty of time unless chisora turns into mike tyson over night.

    As long as he doesn't get cut, or sustain some sort of odd injury, everything should be fine.

    Probably yes. Spinks beating an old Ali beats anything Valuev has ever done with his handed out titles. Valuev should also have a couple more losses on his record, Larry Donald beat him, a 46 year old Evander Holyfied outboxed him. He is very average.
