Looks like Haye Vitali is off and its Haye v Valuev

[Fenster]

Everyone slagging Haye off didn't give him a hope in hells chance against Vitali (well no one in the world did), so now he's a cunt for taking a winnable fight?

Yep, I was more concerned about the ridiculous amount of time it is taking him to follow up the fight with Barrett. Fighting Valuev is probably a more sensible option. It's a much more winnable fight and gives him a lot more leverage against the Klits if he wins. And the closer Vitali gets to 40 with his creaky body the better the odds are for Haye in that. He has a nightmare trying to beat any of the brothers right now with only Barrett under his belt at heavyweight.

Yeah without doubt this year has been a complete fuck up for Haye. And without doubt he's given people the ammunition by pulling out of the fights and obviously shit-talking.

But considering everyone on earth expected Vitali to kill him - what was the point of the fight?

Better to see him in some 50/50-winnable ones first. And should Valuev beat him the Haye haters will be able to laugh twice as loud.
