This is just plain silly, in an interview with Haye after the fight on Saturday he told Steve Bunce he doesn't feel the need to 'fight another Monte Barrett type fighter' so he should just go direct to a Klitschko.

He also said in the same interview that Vlad was running scared after his demolition of Monte and now the brothers were pushing for the better Vitali to take the fight.

Whatever is true fighting Vitali is just plain career suicide. If Lennox Lewis couldn't put the man down how the hell will Haye do it? I just don't see Haye lasting 12 rounds with somebody like Vitali, he doesn't have the stanima or chin to hang with him.
