Just a thought but why not Vitali??

[Islington haye maker]

I agree,While it might not be the fight he wanted at first,He should take this one because it will still draw the people in.

Because although Vitali is not as sound as a boxer then Wlad, Vit is a beast. The chances of Vit getting knockdown vs Wlad getting KO'd favors Vit. Therefore, Haye wanted to fight the lesser of the two as far a the chin goes. But I wish someone please KNOCK THE OUT OF HAYE. Please let his next fight have some sort of competition.

I totally agree Skel. Its the best fight out there and to be honest I think Vitali is far better to watch than Wlad anyway. Also he is willing to take a shot and make a fight where as Wlad is boring and scared as he has proved in the last day or so.

play it as you will, Wlad only signed to fight Chisora because Haye didn't want anything to do with either Klitschkos and chose to fight Audley, he had to pull out due to an injury and is making good to Chisora by rescheduling the fight and giving him a shot, IMO it doesn't matter who he fights either guy beats him, be it Wlad or Vitali, i wouldn't be shocked if Haye's next opponent ends up being a Klitschko left over or someone like Toney

as for Wlad being scared, you don't basically knock out everyone in your division and clean it out by being scared

I thought exactly the same. Not just that, me and loads of us have been saying he should fight Vitali first anyway as he is probably the easier draw.
