To me it was clear this thread was started to claim that Haye needs Wlad, hence why I counter claimed. Miles, my point was that not one of the names you mentioned of Wlad's record would go in as favourite in a fight with David Haye. Like it or not, he is widely considered the biggest threat to Wlad's crown so for them not to fight would be a blow to both. It is a career defining fight for both. As a career defining fight, are you suggesting Wlad can pack up happy he has done all he can to cement his legacy, or do you agree that Wlad needs Haye? I'm not saying Haye doesn't need Wlad, because he does. My argument is that they both need each other.
