And why not.
He's gotta step up to the Klitschko plate now though.
Actually now he has to fight Valuev again.Quote:

I can see him being pushed into a Hopkins fight, just to build up his rep in the USA prior to a Klitschko showdown.
............but what do I know....
He has said he doesnt wanna fight Hopkins.Quote:

If they put him in with HayeQuote:

i'm pretty sure they want him dead.
if WBA request a Valuev rematch then he should give up the belt - he don't need it and it would be another nail in alphabet boys coffin.
The whole world (well most) knows its between him and the Klitschkos for the number 1 heavyweight title.
Would love to see him demolish Audley Harrison inside a round and rid us of that clown but that's way too beneath him now.
So....Kiltschko, Klitschko, Povetkin then that up and coming German guy i can't remember. Then retire before he has to fight Tyson Fury as that guy is lethal.
What was he before?...Figured since he had then WBA title he would have been ranked right behind the brothers anyway
No way that B-Hop would even get a chance to make it a horrible fight.Quote:

He has swapped places with Povetkin.Quote:

Ahhh....I always forget about Povetkin....Truth is I really don't watch the heavies much unless important fightsQuote:

There's still a huge gap between The Klitschko's and everyone else

If you don't believe me, just wait until your guy steps in the ring with Wladimir....I bet you Wlad doesn't lose a round much less the fight
I agree with Lyle (shush:o)

I knew it, there was way too much tension into your relationship not to turn into a romance, you're the Leia and Han Solo of Saddo boxing, started with a fight, ended up with passion.Quote:

European promoters want him to fight in Germany, and Golden Boy want him to fight in the states.
I guess the location of his next fight, assuming its not a Klit, will tell us where he will fight to unify the titles.
My money is on a US opponent in the States. I think the American audience would really take to Haye, after years of boring Ukranian dominance.
She looks like a doll. :confused:Quote:
