Wlad to fight again in Novermber or December

Pointless argument, really.

Haye obviously did a great job in selling interest for his fight against Wlad. Not so much for his HW accomplishments, really.... because beating "circus-man" Valuev, and garbage HW John Ruiz isn't really a good HW resume. He sold the fight because of his big mouth, his promises, his "snake-oil salesman" personality, and his punching power and talent, which held the promise of a good fight.

Yes, he probably made it possible for Wlad to earn more money for that particular fight than if Wlad had fought some timid, humble, "I hope I win" Joe Blow off the street.

And then Haye reneged on his promise. The joke's on us.... ha-ha-ha. He laughed all the way to the bank. "I never actually meant to actually fight.... are you kidding? You all bought that shit?"

Looking forward, would Haye make a good opponent for Wlad again? Absolutely not. "Fool me once.......", like the saying goes. He had his shot, and threw it in the garbage. Had it been competitive, then absolutely. But what the HW division needs now (and I qualify all my statements with "what's good for the division" because I happen to feel the HW division could use a serious "pick-me-up" right about now)...... is a good competitive fight involving Wlad. Someone who's not afraid to go in there and mix it up, hopefully while having the skills and power to challenge Wlad.

I 100% agree with this post. The only way Haye DESERVES another shot is to "fight" his way back up. Will he have to? I'm not really sure. To be honest I'm not that sure he even wants Wlad again.

There's no way on earth Haye-Wlad ever happens again.

Chisora will fight Wlad as long as he doesn't get humiliated against Haye. The fight is already sold.

Vitali will fight Haye if he wins. That fight would have already happened had the Haye-Chisora press conference fight not happened. Team Klit said so.

Lyle and myself were discussing the value of bad behaviour and controversial characters.

FWIW, I'm curious to see the result of Haye vs. Chisora, but aside from that I have no interest in seeing Haye fight Vitali or anyone else.

Povetkin, Mitchell, or Pulev are decent potential opponents for Wlad.

Franklin Lawrence who has been ranked in the Ring magazine as one USA's top heavies for the past few years. Just trying something different or he can try to face an unknown undefeated fighter such as David Rodriguez in Texas or a Malik Scott in New York. The 0 is always a seller.
