Adam Booth Says Wlad is refusing to sign a 50/50 split fight with Haye.

[skel1983]

Well to be honest the fans of the WBA title holder already have a list of excuses when it comes to Wladimir and oddly enough if they are really that bothered by Wlad holding (which he really hasn't done all that much of since the first Sam Peter fight) then Joe Cortez would be the referee they would want in the ring as the main argument with him in the Hatton-Mayweather fight wasn't that he allowed Floyd to use his elbows (that's revisionist history from ono and furthermore it should be expected from the style Floyd uses, meaning Hatton should have trained for it) it was that Cortez broke up the clinches too quickly and Hatton never got to maul Floyd like he mauled Kostya Tszyu.

That being said who would you guys be satisfied with as ref of this fight (should it actually happen this time)?

In fairness, Wlad hasn't really been in a serious fight where he hasn't been on a different level to his opponent since he got rattled in the first Peter fight, which really shows the dominance of the Klitschko's over recent years.

The hope is that Haye can get past the ramrod jab and start to rattle Wlad a bit and make it competitive, but I don't see the fight being close enough to need excuses, it's either a Wlad points win or Haye KO.

I just hope that the penpushers on both sides get the details out of the way and get them in the ring together.

That is a bit unfair to be honest mate Haye is probably the best opponent he has faced in some time but Wlad has fought some decent fighters such as Chambers who he knocked clean out, Chambers for me would beatthe majority of the top ten.

Well he's not faced Haye yet, and what I was getting at was that Wlad has pretty much dominated everyone in front of him since Peter #1. Chambers may beat the majority of the top ten, but he didn't come close to Wlad.

For me that shows ho much he has improved with Steward, I don't think Haye has a chance to be honest and I see ths fight as one sided as the hambers fight.

So, if we disregard Haye as a Klitschko-beater, surely the heavyweights are just waiting for Wlad and Vitali to retire so it gets competitive again?

Did people want the Baer's to fight each other? The Mayweather's? The Gatti's? The Judah's? The Marquez's? Etc.

I didn't mean for you personally to be offended, and I apologize but seriously I'm tired of people even suggesting that Wlad and Vitali fight because its never been asked of any other boxing family. And yes it is for that reason I believe the people suggesting they fight are "fucking morons".
