Like it or not, he is widely considered the biggest threat to Wlad's crown so for them not to fight would be a blow to both. It is a career defining fight for both. As a career defining fight, are you suggesting Wlad can pack up happy he has done all he can to cement his legacy, or do you agree that Wlad needs Haye? I'm not saying Haye doesn't need Wlad, because he does. My argument is that they both need each other.
I think both Wlad and Vitali have had long and fairly decent careers, so could call it a day without fighting Haye, but it would be better to see them fight Haye though. It would add a bit more at the end. No reason why they shouldn't. It's big money and all the talking has built up some expectation. Belt holder against best holder with a bit of a grudge thrown in for good measure.

Yeah, get it on. Like I say, I want to see it too.
