Haye would rather fight Vitali than Wlad right now.

[El Kabong]

Why do people think he has a better chance of beating Vitali?

Well just my view of the whole thing is just based on how good each brother is fighting right now. If you could rate each brother 1-10 based on how well they have fought recently my thought is Wlad is about a 9 (until he starts gunning for KO's earlier he won't get to 10) and Vitali is about a 7...his power isn't as good he's easier to hit and guys like Arreola and Johnson are lasting longer with him which IMO means he's slowing down and due to his recent surgeries and injuries maybe he's easier to pick off.

I'm not saying that the WBA title holder (whom I have refused to call by name until he's KO'd) would beat Vitali....I just think it's the easier fight as Vitali's not punching as hard, he's having a little more trouble in breaking through a defense, and he's a little easier to hit. Also if you lose to Vitali you may just get KO'd in 2 whereas when you fight Wladimir you WILL catch a beat down for a long time and it will damage you physically and mentally because you'll be helpless eating a jab round after round and Wlad is throwing with full power with the right cross and left hook.

He is saying that he wants to fight Vitali because the IBF deadline is tomorrow. If Wlad does not make a deal with Haye by tomorrow, Wlad has to fight Povetikin. Haye's comments basically mean he is forcing Wlad to take the Povetkin fight, thus enabling him to Duck him.

After Vitali knocks out the Zuri Lawrence, err...I mean the guy that Zuri Lawrence beat, I am sure Haye will come up with some reason why he cant fight Vitali.
