That's very true...with Sam Peter having a poor showing IMO vs Maskaev and Sultan Ibragimov not doing anything vs Wlad and Valuev and Chagaev thinking they are in some other division and not mingling with the other GOOD heavyweights....if Haye is able to beat say a Golota, Rahman, or a Shannon Briggs he'd be a great fight for Wlad.


Honestly I would want Haye to win a title before they fight so it could be a unification fight but as long as Haye is on the way up it's all good.

I just think Haye HAS to beat a big puncher at heavyweight before he will be able to CONTEND against Wladimir. I mean sure as hell can fight everyone else and all other styles and FIGHT Wlad but to actually have a shot he's going to have to get past a puncher.


If I'm Wlad I go for the KO from the moment the bell rings, no waiting around for Haye to come to you, he's talked too much to allow him any time in the spotlight.
