Haye v Klit - Negotiations underway confirms IBF

[CFH]

This is great news, hopefully it all comes together. Haye is a polarizing figure, but like him or not he has brought a ton of excitement and interest back to the Heavyweight division, something that has been lacking for years.

Like someone has posted, I'm not getting my hopes up till it's all signed up but this to me just confirms that Haye isn't scared about fighting either brother.

Anyone with half a brain cell knows the circumstances as to why Haye backed out of the fights with the brothers. He didn't feel he was getting a fair deal at the negotiating table (rightly or wrongly) so he fought Valuev to get the only belt that the Klitchko's didn't have and one they desperately wanted. After that he had to fight Ruiz as he stepped aside for Haye to fight Valuev with Ruiz fighting the winner. What's so difficult to understand?

There was a thread on here about a week ago about Haye taking a rest and all the haters jumped on the bandwagon saying he's a pussy and he'll never fight a Klitchko. I think a lot of those people will actually end up looking stupid because I'm 100% convinced he'll fight a Klitchko and he'll end up fighting them pretty soon. All he ever wanted from the start was to not be taken the piss out of. David felt their demands were unreasonable but to be honest they were the HW champs and he was a nobody in the HW division so they had every right to demand what they wanted. Now David's a 2 weight world champion and also has a version of the HW belt lets make this a 50-50 split. If Wlad or Vitali are that confident of beating Haye I'm sure they won't mind losing 10% of the purse to fight him.

Good stuff...I wanna see Haye vs Wladimir.

Fair enough people are asking how will Haye handle a big puncher and a boxer like Wladimir but a question should also be asked of Wlad

How will Wlad handle finally fighting a heavyweight boxer who is in GOOD SHAPE and not a blown up cruiser or a past-prime heavyweight?

Lot's of questions to be answered and I don't think he answered it when he fought Ibragimov

Absolutely spot on Chris

Way to many Haye haters out there. I am not a huge Haye fan but he has the tools and the charisma. I'm rooting for him, to be honest. I think there's a really good chance he fights one of them and I think it'd be great for the division. I'd kind of be gutted if the fights were to never take place because there's nobody close to Wlad/Vitali's level in the division and I think Haye'd make a good go of it.
