When he came into the hw division he wanted a short cut to fighting the top man and that was and still is Wlad. Wlad wouldnt of been that bothered in fighting a pumped up cruiserweight at that time and Haye new that imo, thats why Haye went on the offence and called Wlad and Vitali all sorts untill Wlad agreed to fighting him. Smart move if you are Haye pick up a world title and defend it against an old man and a bum and avoiding the young contenders while he goads Wlad into a mega money fight.
