Just saw the clip posted this evening, Wlad needs to fight Haye. No one cares about Thompson and everyone expects Povetkin to lose whereas the UK + USA love Haye and he blantently called him a pussie fraud ha ha! I think Haye forsee's himself doing a Sanders on Waddie. If Wlad's a man he'll take this fight and though I think he'd win MASSIVE props to Haye, the man just keeps going up in my esteem! We need more fighters like him!!!! :good
get out of here with this ****. so u want wlad to wait around for haye to add weight, not fight thompson, get stripped of his belts, and break his contract with hbo just to fight an undeserving challenger.
No, I expect him to take thompson then fight Haye cause by that time Haye will have built up suitably. I just want the fight setup.
Haye needs to prove himself. Granted he has done excellent at Cruiser, props to him for that, but at heavy he hasnt EARNED the right. A man who has been out earning his right to fight is Povetkin. Haye needs to pull his head out of his arse. Klitschko would decapitate Haye.
Ridiculous. Povetkin has EARNED his title shot. Assuming he is going to get blasted out isn't the same thing as being blasted out. You don't rob guys of their opportunity on sheer assumption. That's fanboy talk right there.
u dont set up a fight when u have 2 already scheduled on HBO. only de la hoya can do that. so u want wlad to fight thompson, then haye. so he would get stripped of his IBF title which creates another paper champion! No..f that.. haye needs to help, not hurt the division. beat peter or chagaev/valuev in november and pick up a belt, then fight wlad in early '09 to further unify the division. haye-wlad now makes no sense especially for wlad. haye wants it now because he wants a huge payday on the decent chance he gets starched before earning the right to fight wlad. this would set him up for life. get in line Mr. Haye :yep
Any Fighter who can punch is a threat to that Chin of Vlad. (Then again, Haye Don't have the best "Beard" either) But Yes the heavy's need some help BAD!!
I'll tell you one thing, with the addition of the weight gained to bring Haye up to heavyweight, if Haye's hands move half as fast as his mouth poor Wladimir won't stand a chance.
haye doesn't need to put on weight, he walks around at 260 and he had to drain weight to get to cruiser.
