In the extremely unlikely event that Fury beat Wlad - I'd expect Haye to emerge from the woodwork again - however, if I were Fury, I'd probably tell him to poke it.

He's dropped out the rankings though, he can't get a title shot without at least having a few fights first

Look at Muhammad Rachman's recent "title" fight ;)

I dont think Haye v Wlad 2 will ever happen. However in a year or 2 Haye v Joshua could be a fight. If only Haye was a little more active. He's exciting, quick and carries that power. I'll always tune into his fights as he does pursue the best. In my early 20's he was kind of a boxing hero of mine, in the same way he was for the author of his biography. However, having met him and also his actions in recent years I've lost some respect for him as a person. That doesn't really matter, I know, as I'll still be paying to watch him fight.

That's right Vitali is the WBC 'Champion Emeritus' and could come back straight into a WBC world title fight if he wanted to.
I never understood this ruling.
Imagine Vitali waiting 10 years and coming back.Would they still give him a shot at 53?
I mean when is the deadline.

And on the subject of Haye.Poop or get off the pot.
I am so tired of his on again off again retirements.
But even more tired of his fight cancellations.
They will grant him a comeback if they think it is financially viable - simple as.

How come? He always seems to come across as a nice fella. I know a couple of people who met him and they said he was really down to earth and friendly.

Re; meeting him in person. I was just a little disappointed as he didn't have much time to talk about boxing and his career and seemed pissed off that I was asking. But like I said I really used to look up to him and I guess meeting your 'heroes' can be disappointing. I think I've been a bit harsh by saying I lost respect for him as a person. I should have just said I was dissapointed.

Maybe caught him on a bad day. I can't imagine what it must be like for people keep wanting to take your photo, ask questions, ask for autographs on a regular basis, I guess he gets sick of it. Tyson is a big hero of mine but I can imagine meeting him would be a disappointment when you see the way Tyson behaves or turns nasty in some interviews.

David Haye's a lying, pretentious arsehole, man. More fool anyone taken in by his ridiculous act - which should have been transparent in 2010 when he vowed to 'clean up the HW division' and subsequently defended his paper title successfully only twice against men pushing 40 who weren't any good in their primes.

Haye was convinced no one would make it through the full 45 mins listening to him babble on, Kugan said they would so Haye said if you've got to the end, put "Fish tank" in the comments. Haye also earlier said that Kugan had a fish face.

To be honest I reckon you've more chance of seeing him on Geordie shore or one of they homosexual reality shows than you have seeing him fight again! Unless Fury were to win a world title and offer him a voluntary or something.

Just spotted this and said to the wife "Shock horror, David Haye is training for his comeback"
To which, she responded "how, by appearing on Soccer AM every other week?"

Did anyone see his BoxN@tion interview with Kuggan???

He really hates Fury since he has taken over his spotlight as the no.1 heavyweight in the UK and will do anything to discount his wins.

He Claimed that Chisora was unmotivated in their clash (if a guaranteed fight with Klitschko doesnt motivate you I dont know what will) and that he hadnt even heard of his last opponent (Christian Hammer)... sure David :TU:

I know Christian Hammer is vastly overrated and has no place in the top 15 of the sanctioning bodies (WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF) but none more so than Manuel Charr, who Haye was set to fight by the way!

Haye not knowing who Hammer is, is a bit like Rooney not knowing who Leighton Baines is, ridiculous comment to make, and even more ridiculous if true!!!

I would laugh my ass off if Fury gets to Wilder first, beats him leaving Haye's only option for a belt as Klitschko. It's likely too as Wilder has expressed an interest in the fight.

Haye is done. He ain't fighting again

I don't think Chisora was unmotivated he was just shot. He has looked shot for a while now. Pointless fight.Fury always beats him. Hammer? Shite opponent, which Fury pretty much admitted beforehand! Another meh fight. Fury's camp are just biding their time until a title shot.
