David Haye is here

...Oh how I wish we had another overhyped heavyweight, I don't think Audley Harrison or Sam Peter disappointed us enough

Well Lyle, thank God we've got Wladimir Klitskcho and his neverending and boring "madatory" title defenses against lackluster opponents to fill that void.

Hulk correct me if I'm wrong but Wlad does want to unify AND he's taken steps to do so. Ray Austin, Tony Thompson, and Povetkin have been/are his mandatories and he's forced to fight them or relenquish the belts. Sultan Ibragimov was a unification fight...sorry it was boring but Sultan is a southpaw and Wlad is getting better at fighting those guys (after 2 consecutive fights vs southpaws).

Mandatories are a pain but they are mandatories for a reason, to give guys who have "earned it" title shots. Mandatories can be swayed by $$$ and it has happened and will happen again...and being a mandatory doesn't mean they are great fighters to watch it means they earned their shot.

It's just the game of boxing

Fair enough. Mandatories are always a pain in the ass.

Wlad should be taking them outta there though, and his last two times out he has been very lackluster.
