The Official Wlad/Haye Promotion Thread (videos, interviews etc)

I hope Haye knocks out Wlad and get some new blood in the HW division.

Why do people keep on saying this bullshit?

If he wins, he's retiring. How the FUCK is that injecting new blood into the division?

That's another reason why I want Wlad to win, he won't win and then fuck off.

Agreed. People think Wladimir is no good for boxing and want to see Haye winning, BUT what they fail to understand is that a win for Haye (who retires immediately after it) is NO new blood, it just destroys any kind of left credibility in the heavyweight division.

[rjj tszyu]

Haye is on Chatty man now. Class!

[Majesty]

Face off!

[ninjaspy3]

We will never find out which is the better klitschko anyway since they will never fight. At least if haye wins there may eventually be a chance that someone unites the belts.

Who is that SOMEONE, since Haye has said it himself he is not Explain
If Haye beats Klitschko, after 3 months there will be 3 major world titles vacated with a lot of bums having their chance to win a title.

You see, that's just it. There is no telling who will end up with the belts. It could be Vitali until he retires too. But it will definitely be interesting to see who ends up at the top. Main thing is, something will finally change. I think change is good every so often.

You guys falsely assume that vacating the titles all at once means that the sanctioning bodies will allow for 1 fight to decide who gets the all the belts which I HIGHLY doubt happens.

If this was to happen it would be best for boxing in general to have a tournament to crown the true champ. 1 fight for the WBA (Povetkin-Chagaev as planned), 1 for the IBF, 1 for the WBO, Vitali defends the WBC vs Adamek.

....But since Wlad's going to win we won't have to worry about that

I don't always find myself agreeing with you Lyle, but on the first part of your point I definitely do. There's no way that vacating all the belts will lead to one fight for ownership of all four straps, they'd all have their own little fiefdoms with their own 1/4 champion.

As for Wlad winning...we'll see.

[El Kabong]

I'm sorry but this must have been the way Calzaghe fans felt about Jeff Lacy. You look at the level of competition, time in the division, skill set, and quality of opponents and its plain as day.

Sure they actually have to fight, but I fail to see 1 area where Wlad is at a disadvantage...MAYBE hand speed, but its not like Wlad is slow (which is what people falsely assume)....he's methodical in picking his punches, but he's got quick hands.

[El Kabong]

Did you watch the first match or the rematch?

I thought Wlad was very good in the rematch....that first right cross straightened Byrd's dreads

Nah if haye gets the titles and then vacates them it then creates a brand new free for all to get the titles rather than two boxers who'll never fight each other holding half each making unification impossible. I see that as a good thing.

i agree with this shit

if wlad wins what then? lets search the shallow deapths of the heavyweights for another fighter he can jab at

If haye wins we may well get haye v vitali and another big build up and another big fight, and if wlad wins we will have to wait till the klits retire before we get any more HW fun

[badr_hari]

if wlad wins what then?

If Wlad wins, at least boxing fans and every other heavyweight know there is ONE WORLD CHAMPION to beat.

If haye wins we may well get haye v vitali and another big build up and another big fight, and if wlad wins we will have to wait till the klits retire before we get any more HW fun

If Haye wins, he retires. Fact
If Haye wins, there is no fight with Vitali (who is fighting Adamek in fall). Fact
If Haye wins we will never know who was the true champion at the time, he or Vitali. Fact
If Haye wins and retires, Wladimir may very well come back and dominate the division again. Imagine just HOW bad this division would look then? Worst then now for sure.

wlad is bad for the heavyweight division and that is a fact

i (along with millions of other boxing fans) up until haye came along have had the least amount of interest in the division as i have ever had, i dont watch the majority of multibelt HW title fights

yes the competition isnt great but the main reason the HW division is so dull is that the main champion takes abosolutely no risks what so ever in the ring, all his fights are identical and, for the want of a better word, boring
