Boxing - Klitschko-Haye in September?
Fingers crossed.
I'm not really all that excited about this fight pretty sure just another day in the office for wlad, props to haye for creating buzz about himself because really he hasn't done anything at heavy that sultan or chagaev hadn't done...wlad by ko in 7 or 8 after a 100jabs...
Woohoo! this is 2nd on my list next to pacman/mayweather.
And i dont know why everyone writes off Haye so fast. I see this being a long night for both guys. and it should be a great match.
I think I'm looking forward to this one, and I hope it comes off, because I think that Haye does have a realistic chance of getting past the Klitschko jab to try and see if his chin has improved at all whilst dominating the heavies.
Adam Booth's a very astute tactician, and I think if they can get both guys to sign on the dotted line, and barring any injuries, should be a very interesting fight.
This is actually pretty intresting in the fact that haye actually does have a chance, hes a heavy puncher against a guy who doesnt really take a punch that well, that being said....Klitchko by KO
Well, it's the most interesting fight in the division, which speaks volumes about the division.
I agree with most on this thread. I think Wlad will stop Haye, who has a suspect chin himself. However, Haye does have a very strong right hand. That said, it should be interesting as long as it goes.
Well looks like it could be signed and sealed by Sunday. I hope it's Wembley. There isn't an arena big enough for the interest this will demand so it has to be in a stadium.Quote:

Until the fighters are in the ring I will have my doubts about this one. i hope they fight though.
Same here until the bell ring's for the first round I will not be interested. This fight has already been put off by B.S. excuses what's to stop it from happening again.Quote:

I agree, Haye deserves a better deal now. Wlad cant think he is getting one of those "if you beat me then you have to fight my brother deals."Quote:

Wlad not giving him a shit deal?Quote:

Then after he beat Tyson, Don King had to negotiate with Holyfield for a rematch, and holyfield had the much better bargaining posistion.
...... and then Holyfield blew all that money, too!Quote:

Haye may just have a slightly better chance of beating Wlad than Sonsowski beating Vitali. Mostly because we have seen Wlad get KOed on three occasions by bums. We are lucky these fights aren't swapped. Otherwise, I'd give Haye zero chance until Vitali gets around 42yrs! And Sonsowski [COLOR="rgb(160, 82, 45)"]is truly almost a bum[/COLOR], and completely qualifies as the next in line to knock the dust off of Wlads dome!!

A lousy $10,000. He trained hard and knocked Tyson out. His next fight coming in fat and out of shape(not his fault) Made 25 million for Evander. So IMO I would take the low end to fight Wlad,knock him out (because that's what he will do correct?) then fight for millions against big brother Vitali.
I am very curious to see the original contract of how much he was going to make.Then the contract that will be set-up for this fight.
The fights going to happen so stop wetting your self.
You're not comparing like with like there thought. Buster Douglas was really one of the guys on the fringe of the heavyweight scene, had picked up a few good wins and some defeats along the way in his career, and was never expected to beat Tyson. Haye on the other hand is a former unified cruiserweight champion who has come up to heavyweight, KO'd a couple of gatekeepers, and claimed the share of the heavyweight title which the Klitshko's had neglected. He's also made no secret of his desire to only have a couple more fights before retiring with all his faculties intact. If he takes a tiny share of the deal with Wlad it would just be stupid business practice.Quote:
