Man of many words, maybe you should change your name to 'final word'?

Did you want to expand on why?

nice. Because it won't sell the Klitchsko's are the only big money fights out there and Haye wants to retire next year.
He only fights twice a year so that leaves no room for Chagaev in his plans.
Also after Saturday's debacle I don't believe the public, even the casual fans would let him get away with anything less.

Sauerland have one more fight with Haye so doubt it'll be the Klitschkos next

The offer that Bernd Boente said was on the table on Five Live on Sunday morning was more than fair.

Vitali has to fight Solis v Austin winner next. It be Wlad about June next year then.

Fuk me, he must have some dirt on someone somewhere.

He's Don King's fighter and it's the WBC

Chagev is good opponent. He would gave beaten valuev again if that fight in Finland had happened. He not big puncher but has skills to make a difficult night work. Haye could fight him march in London at o2. Would sell out plus do ok ppv numbers. Then klitschko in summer. Wlad might fight adamek next.

WBA heavyweight champion David Haye has sent a message to both Klitschko brothers, that he is refusing to fight them in Germany. If a unification fight were to happen, Haye wants it to happen in London. The South London Press reports that Wembley or the Greenwich’s O2 Arena would be the most likely venues. Haye's demand should not be a problem as both Klitschko brothers have expressed their willingness to fight him in London with a 50-50 deal across the board.

“I want the fight in London - I don’t want to go to Germany,” said Haye. “I went out to Germany to win my title and I want my defining fight to be on British soil. They’ve had enough fights in Germany. This is my last year in the sport and there is no doubt it is going to be my best year - I want to go and clear out the heavyweight division."

Haye's being a bit of a diva. I can understand it, though.

I would not be suprised if he fight Frank Bruno now he has beat the great fighter know as Fraudley. He will sell it on the fact that the british public want to see it.

Obviously all the talk is going to be about Wlad now, and that is the fight the whole boxing community wants to see. I have said for a month or so that i actually believe this fight may have already been signed and sealed, obviously using these fights against Audley and Chisora as a bit more publicity and interest in the fight, but that is just a guess on my part.

My second choice in fight would be Adamek, think that would be an interesting match-up, probably with Haye coming out on top. Bit easier to market than a Povetkin or Chagaev fight in my opinion as obviously both have moved up the weight divisions as champs.

Ruslan Chagaev earned the tag of "White Tyson" in his early career as he racked up knockout after knockout but the mandatory challenger to our own David Haye turned box-fighter as he stepped up a level. Chagaev has failed to stop anyone since Reading's Michael Sprott in eight rounds in 2006. He challenges Haye for the WBA heavyweight title in the first half of next year.
This is a good time to face the 32-year-old Chagaev, a stocky Uzbekistani living and fighting out of Germany who endures health problems (rumoured Hepatitis B) and spells out. He also has a problem with scartissue over his left eye, which is something the quicker, sharper Haye can work on. Chagaev has failed to shine since outscoring previously unbeaten Russian Nikolai Valuev in a big upset three years ago, needing the full 12 rounds to see off Bedford's Matt Skelton a fight later, before taking a technical decision over an obscure Costa Rican. Chagaev then suffered his one and only defeat (in 28 outings) at the hands of Wladimir Klitschko, who floored him in the second round and continued to punish him. Chagaev was pulled out after nine rounds with a cut over that left eye.
This was last year, in front of a massive German crowd of 60,000. You have to say, if Chagaev can take Klitschko nine rounds, he is likely to take Haye into the later championship rounds. Southpaw Chagaev, strong and clever, earned his shot with a unanimous 12-round decision over big New Zealander Kali Meehan earlier this year in Germany. In contrast, Haye comes off a pathetically easy three-round dismissal of Audley Harrison, toying with his London rival.
Nevertheless, Haye is fresh and exciting in a moribund division dominated by the Klitschko brothers, Wlad and Vitali. David won his WBA title with a smart-boxing decision over Valuev last year and has retained twice. At 30, Haye is still relatively young for a heavyweight, still improving, still hungry. While the ageing, muscle-bound Klitschkos go through the motions against the likes of Shannon Briggs and Derek Chisora, Haye gets better and better. This time next year, he will be ready for either one. He warms up with a late stoppage of Chagaev, proving too quick for the challenger in the end.

Ruslan Chagaev struggled yet again as he registered a desperately close eight-round decision over shopworn American Travis Walker last night in Germany.
Chagaev, a man of pedigree, licked Felix Savon in the amateurs and boxed brilliantly to win the WBA heavyweight title from a 46-0 Nikolai Valuev three years ago, but he was tagged repeatedly by Walker in a punch-for-punch fight that ranks as one of the toughest of his career to date. He has now disappointed in all his contests since illness and injury cost him the WBA belt in 2008.
Last year in Germany, a comebacking Chagaev took an uninspired technical decision over Carl Drummond, after picking up a bad cut, then suffered his first defeat at the hands of Wladimir Klitschko in nine one-sided rounds, picking up another bad cut. He returned this year to outscore Kali Meehan in a 12-rounder which even by heavyweight standards lacked sparkle, prior to the surprising battle with Walker, who was on a losing run but landed so many right hands he would surely have got the verdict in the States.
As Chagaev struggles, our own David Haye walked through Audley Harrison in three rounds earlier this month, landing right hands repeatedly, to retain the WBA title he must now defend against Chagaev, the mandatory challenger. It looks better and better for Haye, who is still gaining experience in the heavyweight ranks as he builds to a fight with Klitschko himself. Chagaev, strong and brave at 32, has clearly lost his more potent abilities.

Chagev will fight better against haye. It be a good fight!
