Great post. Wlad and Haye will end up fighting. Give it a year.
Wlad showing a nice quiet confidence. I think Haye tried to intimidate him, but it failed.

I hate when fighters do the whole... "I never heard of him before" bullshit makes them sound stupid...
I think I need to see how Haye's power/skills transfer to heavyweight before I'd give him much of a shot vs. Wlad. I'd love to watch Wlad beat Haye comatose though.
Klitchko better start RANNIN!!!
Haye is just doing what boxers have done forever. They need to open their mouths if they wanna get a shot at something. Its like Carl Froch all these years saying he wants Calzaghe and no one thinks he deserves to shine Joe's boots let alone share a ring with him.
....and They are right, Carl Froch hasn't done anything and therefore hasn't gotten a shot and he hasn't deserved one.
Haye hasn't done anything at heavyweight AND he really hasn't even cleared out the cruiserweight division either. He beat Jean Marc Mormeck.....that's it and based on that fight along with the Maccarenelli fight he thinks he should get THE HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT .....suddenly Ray Austin seems very deserving.
Tony Thompson and Alex Povetkin deserve their title shots.
I would like to see Haye vs Povetkin or Sultan Ibragimov
Yeah I aint sayin he deserves a title shot right away by any means, but he's an ambitious guys and has alot of self belief. I'm just saying he's making himself be heard and so boxers and the fans will keep an eye out for him to see what he can bring to the table in a potential fight later along the line.
I agree the others deserve their shot first as they have rightfully fought their way there, but if Haye delivers what he says then his shot will come.
I like Haye, I think he can bring some new life into a dire division, however I personally would like him to take on some highly ranked or seasoned guys before Klitchko.
Wasn't there some talk that the WBA would automatically rate him highly because he was their cruiserweight champion? I dunno if there's any truth in this but I would fancy him to do a number on Chagaev!
Anyway it seems he wants to fight the big names right away and fair play to him for doing so. Since he doesn't wanna fight past 30 years of age he doesn't have a lot of time to conquer his ambitions.
I initially thought if he wanted to cause a fuss in america he could fight the undefeated Chris Arreola. Highly rated, high KO%, undefeated american. I saw him on the Williams/Quintana undercard and I don't think he'd cause Haye too many problems. He doesn't have many good names on his record either, but it'd be a good start for Haye in the States for me.
Anyway we have a bit of a wait to see Haye in action at heavyweight!
