true haye did pull out against wlad prev, maybe getting some of his own medicine

Agreed, I don't think either of them want the fight to go ahead, but they are been forced into one by the public and media - Haye certainly is anyway. Haye knows that he is out of time avoiding the Klitschkos and another non contest fight would be the final straw in what the public see of him. Reading his comments this morning you got the impression that he was saying 'Oh well...I did all I could...wink wink...I've got away with it' there was just a huge sense of relief in what he was saying.

Haye pulled out of the first fight because he lost the financial backing of Setanta, and had to agree to a slave contract with K2.

Now that Wlad has chosen to fight Chisora it means Haye has to fight Chageav before Vlad or he'll be stripped of his title. If I was Haye I'd fight Chageav in April and try and reschedule a fight with Vlad in October (just before his retirement deadline), and just forget about Vitali unless he decides to fight on past October.

You seriously believe that??.....Haye has never avoided anybody. He called Warren's bluff and destroyed Enzo Maccaranelli....He travelled to France and won a World title off a respected champion in the guy's own backyard....He went to Germany to win a Heavyweight title.....His career story isn't that of a man who would suddenly run scared of a fighter, especially one who isn't particuarly that talented and has a record of being vulnerable against a good puncher like Haye.

You want a champion who spent a career avoiding risk?.....Look up Joe Calzaghe.

I don't buy this Haye's scared of Vlad or Vlad's scared of Haye rubbish. This is the only fight for either of them in terms of enhancing their legacys and its by far the biggest money fight in the HW division since Lewis/Tyson, apart from Pac/May its probably the richest fight than could be made in boxing.

I still find it amazing that Vlad seems to be getting no critisism from the public for choosing to fight Chisora (who to be honest, is far more of a nobody than Audley was, atleast Audley was Europian champ) when he knows that by fighting Chisora in April it basically makes a fight with Haye very difficult to make. I don't see why the Chisora fight can't happen later in the year.

RIP

He was a good fighter in a good era for British Heavyweight boxing with him, Lewis, Bruno, Hide and Akinwande all around at about the same time.

Very sad. Mason was a big puncher but ultimately never had the class as a fighter to beat the best in the world.

RIP

I met Gary a few weeks after He fought Lewis, a likeable Guy with No chip about the fight. Asked him if lewis would go anywhere and he laughed and said " World champ no doubt what so ever" RIP Big man

Good, solid heavyweight....Would have claimed a World belt in today's era.....For proof of his power, look up his fight with Jess Harding.....Only a British title fight, but the knockout is frightening.

Anyone watching the Bradley - Alexander fight tonight? Can't wait and unsure who I think will win. Edging towards Bradley ast the moment. Seen the weigh in pics - he looks in amazing shape. You'd break your hand on him!

Also been reading about Khan splitting with Alex Ariza, could be a big mistake. Ariza is very good at what he does. All seems very shady as well. Non payments etc.

big fight tonight... seems very close but the bookies have bradley as a hot fave

i fancy alexander to win though, he has the better record in my eyes

Team Khan apparently looking at Witter now for the April fight! After McCloskey turns dow 'joke' offer.

Witter has been on TV quite a bit for the build up to to Alexander - Bradley fight. He has said numerous times making 140 was killing him. So will Khan go up? And if he does, what's the point?! Seems they just want to pay peanuts for this next homecoming fight. Very disappointing IMO

would like to see witter v khan

or brook v khan

we will see though

Witter is past it and according to himself can't make light welter.. Brook is a welterweight too but I would love to see him fight Khan. I really like the look of Brook. Proper Ingle fighter
