Oh but HF you did defend it you said it was a "money fight" for Chicken Little. Wlad-Peter 2 may be just as predictable but Sam Peter is a mandatory and Audley Harrison is just some bum who happens to be fighting for a "title".

Haye's not the first man to defend his title against a bum in the HW division and he won't be the last. In fact I seem to remember someone with the Klitschko name defending his title against the European champion earlier this year too. It doesn't make it right by any stretch and Haye should be fighting someone else no doubt but as I said he isn't the first and won't be the last. One thing about the Haye fight though is I can guarantee there will be early drama resulting in a KO and not some boring jabfest that just goes on and on.
As for the fight being finished by the 5th, I'd bet you it isn't. Wlad will be even more cautious than usual tomorrow after already being down 3 times against Peter and I think Skels 9th round prediction is going to be very accurate and I've had a sneaky tenner on that myself today at 12/1.
#1 Chicken Little is a gutless coward...his statements when compared to his actions have made this FACT
#2 It's hard to get a challenger willing to fight the Klitschko's as we have recently seen...still Sosnowski is better than Audley.
#3 Vitali is older, he wanted a "stay busy" fight and Sosnowski not only helped him do that it also set up a possible match vs Tomaz Adamek them both being from Poland and all...not that Adamek would really be all that great of an opponent but the option is there
Hey Brandon Rios is fighting Anthony Peterson? That's an EXCELLENT undercard, oh shit I had no idea! I think Peterson will take him.
The thing is though Lyle you talk as though Haye is the first man to use these tactics.
Ray Leonard used to talk none stop about Thomas Hearns, yet Angelo Dundee wouldn't let them fight until he felt the time was right and the whole world had time to discuss and fantasize over the outcome. He said "we needed this fight to get really juicy first" and it did just that.
The more Haye and Klitschko slag each other off in the press the more people talk about the fight and the more frustrated they get until finally when it is signed (for real) people actually feel relieved that it's going ahead. It's all a game and someone like yourself, who I have no doubt from reading your posts for the last few years has a great knowledge of boxing and it's history, should see straight through. I'd bet if I could talk to Manny Steward one on one in private where no one could publish his comments he'd agree.
The Haye-Klit fights "WILL" happen eventually, I have no doubt, the only problem is I feel that Vitali may well be past it and for that reason Haye will choose him first and beat him IMO. Then the mega fight with Wlad will be huge and whoever wins that (obviously you'll go Wlad I'll go Haye), the biggest winner will be boxing.
I don't act like he's the only one to do it he's just the most annoying. I like Ray Leonard but I also don't like him. I HATE the way he treated Haggler "I'm retired/I'm not retired" lousy bastard for that IMO. With Chicken Little and Wladimir, things have passed "juicy" it's been YEARS since the talking has started, and we're still no closer.
Boxing already has the Pacquiao-Mayweather saga....boxing doesn't need the FAUX drama, we need REAL FIGHTS!
