For all the talk we get more bullshit.
Maybe he could fight Chageav now....
Yeah theres a news story on Setantas site saying its been called off. That really sucks but as long as its not some injury that requires an op itll no doubt be put back to August or something. Dont know what this means to the venue though as the German Bundesliga football season starts in early August
Really? :confused:

Delayed or postponed would have been better in the title of the thread.

Wow... I hope this isn't true. I've been looking forward to this so much :( Hopefully it isnt put back too far..
Better to postpone or cancel than have either of them come up with a bunch of excuses afterward. Lord knows there are going to be enough of those running around here afterward reguardless of the outcome as it is.
Was really looking forward to this fight enen though i caouldnt see it lasting very long.Wonder what the injury is and how bad it is?
I fucking hope not I got a great night all planned out!:angryxo4:
Its on Setanta, doesn't say what the injury is, fights postponed for now
I wonder who will predictably make the first "Haye is scared" post?
VD will make it even it's been done to death. Thats a fact.
More typical HW bullsh#t.
Haye pulls out!
David Haye has pulled out of his June 20 title challenge against WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. Haye apparently suffered an undisclosed hand injury in training and wants six to eight weeks to recover. Klitschko will now consider a replacement opponent on the June 20 date which had generated a sold out crowd of 60,000+ at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. More to come…

I think thats night is out of the window now mate.:mad:Quote:

Klitschko, the IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion, said: "I've been waiting for David Haye for six months and I'm still determined to fight on 20 June. We will now consider opponents."
Asked if he accepted that Haye was injured, the 33-year-old said: "I'm not one to throw garbage at a man who's down, although if it was the other way around I'm sure he would do this."

I'd rather have two fully fit fighters going at it than one being injured and giving excuses for losing if he does.

After all the crap involved in his last fight, he gets what his big mouth has been calling for but his body cant keep up with his talk;D
Cue the old bandaged hand routine as proof ala Tyson and Calzaghe.
Whats going to happen when Klitschkos next opponent KOs him and then Vitali refuses to fight him for fear of Haye pulling out again?
Maybe Valuev could step in?
It'll get put back a couple of months. August is a quiet boxing month, they'll probably do it then when the football team have an away game and HBO have lots of free dates. Haye's injury will be verified by an independent doctor. It's just a bit more drama.
Why would he spend so much time trying to get this fight made and then pull out? He knew what he was getting into. Its just not logical.
It would be one thing if he was the champ and it was some fight forced on him or something, some kind of mandatory.
Haye does come off as a twat though after all the tough guy talk........
i don't agree that he comes off as a twat at all. Haye is confident he can beat wlad. you can see it in his eyes. whether or not that happens is another matter, but he is not scared, and he is doing all his fight hype justice! why compete if you're not at your best. he would make himself look like a twat if he went on, fought, lost, then moaned like a bitch about an injury. made the right decision at the right time.
If this does get pushed back 2-3 months it will mean Haye has had just 7 rounds of (one-sided) boxing in almost 2 years!

Whenever someone is provoking a fight and acting without class, and then pulls out.....you are a twat.

Another Heavyweight Title Fight Cancelled....Unbelievable
The Heavyweight division is a joke....a really BIG JOKE
Job Biscuit (What ever next)!!!
eh eh!!
I knew all along that David Haye was a talker and a balker and not a real fighter as a heavyweight....... Haye got cold feet..... He knew his goose was cooked against Wlad Klit..... Haye and company have fictionally come up with a "Hurt Hand" ordeal that I AM SURE they'll find a quack doctor to verify the injury, so Haye can live off that excuse in a comfortable manner.... It's all a ploy to overcome matters.......... GEEZ!!
At any rate, I was / am backing Wlad Klit.... He has improved greatly since his horrid 2004 year....... Manny Steward has him fighting to the best of his ability....... Safety first approach or not, Klit has been winning all his fights since 2004........ That's all I ask for.......
David Haye has a lotta' soul searching to do.........
MR.BILL
USA
This is just great. This was the only heavyweight fight I have looked forward to since Lewis was kickin around. God damn it. I would like to think haye is definately injured, he seems genuinely confident he can win and it doesn't make sense to wimp out.....
So so annoying.
Kel, I had a big night planned here too.... Nightmare.....
bummer !
lets wait and see what the injury is - hopefully we are just looking at a delay.
Yes, Haye would have called Wlad all sorts of names if it was other way round so he should expect, and deserves (!), the same back.
If its a genuine injury then it should be delayed.
Its no bottle job
damn haye. wat a scary ass loser.
Theyre not gonna find anyone decent between now and then. Saying that theres no one decent in the division anyway.Quote:

Oh, fuck off!! If Haye walked up to you with a T shirt on that had a picture of your decapitated head in his hands, the first thought in your head would not be "hes confident" im sure it would be "What a fucking twat";DQuote:

Yeah what a bugger:(I feel sorry for people who have made flight plans or other travel plans and bought tickets. At least I'm not one of those guys.Quote:
