Looks like Haye Vitali is off and its Haye v Valuev

[JazMerkin]

Well, at least we can now expect the ENTIRE boxing community to get behind Haye, although no idea how he knocks that beast out

I actually don't think this is a bad idea, if the terms in the Klitschko contract were so bad then it makes sense for him to try & beat Valuev so he has a bit more negotiating power

Haye is sitting around a bit too long...He should at minimum be fighting anyone with a pulse at the moment.....Don't let the Barrett fight fool you...there is a big difference between Barrett and The Klitschkos/Valuev etc.....

These big men hit much much harder then Barrett could ever hope to Haye nwill be in for a suprise the first time he gets caught by a big shot...

IMO he still needs a bit more adjusting to the HW division but in the end it is Haye who has to deal with the headache in the morning

No doubt Valuev can hit hard, but he hits slow. I think it's very questionable however whether Haye can beat him by knockout, how do you KO a guy who's gonna be 80+lbs heavier?

But I hope he wins, it would make any fight with a Klitshcko a unification & even though I support Haye as a local boy, it would be quite funny to see Lefty after the event. Or should Haye actually be as good as he says (which I severely doubt) it would be funny to see Lyle's reaction.

Lyle is gonna have a ball just by hearing this. i actually cant wait to read his posts

That's both Klitschkos who have now dodged Haye.

I'm a David Haye supporter, I from the same gym he did, but seriously...

Just because they create unfavourable terms, well, they're the guys at the top. They've earnt the right to do that

They're both ducking him, it's obvious.

yea cause David Haye would be the biggest, hardest hitting, most technically gifted fighter either one of them has ever faced...

I'd just like to see one more exciting heavyweight title fight again before I die. The fact that a chinny cruiser is the most exciting opponent for one of the two laboratory creations currently considered champions is a sad reflection on the state of the heavyweight division, isn't it?

Well here's to hoping you're in your teens

[El Kabong]

Well, well, well....I can't say I am surprised. Sure people will say the Klitschko's drove too hard of a bargin, but the ball was in their court and David was at their mercy, after all the talk and all the hype, David decided to take his ball and go home. It's now 8 months since David Haye's introduction to being a full time heavyweight and he has had only the fight vs Monte Barrett...Wladimir has fought twice and Vitali has fought once in the ring and once in court since November 2008...my point is even the CHAMPIONS of the division have been more active than David Haye at heavyweight, which shouldn't happen...hell even Nicolay Valuev has fought more recently than David Haye! That is just fucking sad.

The good news is we'll more than likely get to see Vitali-Cris Arreola which will be a good solid fight, one which the fans will want to see and one where both sides shouldn't have much to argue about at the negotiating table. Hell at this point, I would even leave the Oleg Maskaev option open at this point in time...might as well get some rounds in.

David Haye has gone out of his way to be a prick just to get a shot at one of the Klitschko's only to back out both times he's had the chance to fight them. Seems to me David Haye may want a belt, but he doesn't want to actually have to fight Wlad or Vitali to get one. While I think this Valuev fight is faaaaar better for his career, I think the way he has gone about his business is an absolute joke. I think perhaps at the last minute he was talked out of fighting Vitali by his management who knew like everyone else that he didn't stand a chance. Sure Valuev is big, but I have my doubts about his ability to take a shot and he damn sure can't punch, BUT I still think the big oaf should be the betting favorite as #1 He's hard to beat on the cards and #2 We don't know how David will react to getting hit or just the sheer size of Valuev, that may cause David problems.

And now you'll get your chance, a no talent 7 foot heavyweight vs a chinny loudmouthed cruiserweight....no, it's not Julius Long vs Enzo Maccarinelli, but you might think that if the names were left out of this.

A Bisping/Hatton type KO is too good for David Haye...that is what he has accomplished with all his talk and all his hype, he has made me want to see him litterally tortured in the ring! I want to see a Oleg Maskaev-Hasim Rahman I KO...I want Haye to get sparked, fall through the ropes, and right into Jim Lampley's lap and to be honest I don't give a shit who does it, I'd even be happy if John Ruiz did it....that is how much I hate David Haye, I abhor David Haye!

[bzkfn]

I'm stunned so many people are giving Haye shit for this. This is the smart thing to do. If he wins this, he brings the belt to the negotiating table. I don't believe for a second he'll mention anybody but a Klitschko after this fight.

Man Mammoth Valuev should go for the psychological edge and come in with corn rows woven into his body hair.

all I really have on this is one big....... Tin-man Haye is now fighting the man who was beaten by Chagaev......who was just dominated by Wlad.Small world we live in ehh.

who knows....maybe Haye can aline himself with Holyfield after all and beat Valuev also

I hope they don't expect people to pay for this. In a way I hope Haye wins by ko and then proceeds to act like the ass he is and starts shaving Cousin It's back while he's unconscious. You just know Haye will make t-shirts out of llama hair for the press conferences.

No shit VD. If Kirkland isn't kidding with his post, which seems unlikely, this has to be the hardest dick riding/refusal of reality ever.

[Spicoli]

Maybe the Tin-man should have thought about negotiations and what he would earn prior to talking up a mound of shite high enough to have him seeing over Valuevs head should he climb atop.

great record as a heavyweight so far....1 win...2 forfeits....Way to go champ
