Time moves on really quickly in boxing.
My bet is Wlad v Haye will happen - if Team "Klit" have the balls.

I must've imagined Wlad signing to fight Haye before :P

Stylistically, Haye is all kinds of wrong for Wlad and Wlad knows it
If it was against Vitali - I have that a lot closer - If its Wladimir - its over in 2 rounds.
Haye is going to get iced.

Not if Pertwee had his fighting head on.

:TU: I must have missed a few of Wlad’s recent fights. Last time I saw him he had the killer instinct of Mary Poppins so I’m not sure why he’s suddenly seen as a kill crazy maniac who is going to come out all guns blazing. Don’t get me wrong, Mary was a bad ass bitch in her day but she did tend to take her time.
She was great in The Princess Diaries.

Plus Warren looks like he has the SKY TV date for the 21st May which was proposed to be Haye v mandatory.
No news at all over the weekend apart from Adam Booth saying their might be "developments" by the middle of the week which could "drastically change things"........
21st May - same date as Johnson vs Froch - so I'm guessing the USA will be the venue for this one - with both being on a PPV.
We do have Hopkins vs Pascal 2 on the same day - Primetime option?

I think it is disgusting that anyone wants to see two brothers fight, especially two brothers who are so close as the Klits.
I am more excited about Wlad v Chis, at least Chisora comes to fight and not run and dance.
I don't find the thought of them fighting as sickening as watching the two of them carving up the heavyweight scene and beating fat lazy American slobs with no ambition. I appreciate they can only beat what is put in front of them but it's still frustrating.
I hope Haye gets this sorted, it's grating on all of us. Am sick of the 'will they-won't they' hype, it's extremely tedious now.

You mean like Haye did with a non punching Harrison.
Chambers was out cold, took Peter 5 mins to get off the canvas. It's going to be a systematic beatdown before Haye get's sparked. I can see why people are giving him a chance as we've all seen Wlad fall apart in the past but Haye should be a big dog in this fight.

The bloke at my corner shop says wrong!!! - remember he did predict Smigga v Degale would happen.
He's got a fair few wrong an' all. Everyone knew about Smith versus DeGale months in advance!
Actually myself and my corner shop men were the only people predicting it - if you wish me to call up the thread when even Smigga laughed off my suggestions I am more than happy to do so. Most of you lot were stating Smigga had bigger fish to fry.
I will state again there not a lot lately my corner shop man gets wrong.

Haye gets beat by Wlad IMO, his jab is too sharp and too powerful it'll keep Haye off balance all night and not let Haye get set to through his combinations. I see Wlad dismantling him in about 8 rounds stopping him. Vitali would be a better stylistic fight IMO, he keeps it at a close range and will let Haye get set to throw his combinations, I see him beating Vitali on a wide points imo

Very good fight for Haye who's natural speed and power would knock him off rhythm early on in the fight wouldnt see this going beyond 4-5 rounds!
Wlad wouldnt get a chance to get going and it would be a really bad KO for me.
Vitali is a whole different ball game but again Hayes speed and power would throw him off, Just not
sure how Haye would deal with that jab.......
Interesting times if any of it ever happens!

Read it again.
The article actually says...
The Hayemaker said: "We are back on. We are trying to make it happen.
"We went a long while with nothing from their side, then all of a sudden we got a phone call from Klitschko's camp.
"They made contact with us, which I believe now shows they do want this fight to go ahead."
The article also says Haye is confident the fight can take place on July 21, a thursday. Probably a typo, but indicative of the careless nature of the article.

So do you think Haye is lying again?
"DAVID HAYE has confirmed his world heavyweight unification clash with Wladimir Klitschko is back ON.
The WBA champion is confident the bout can take place on July 21 after the Klitschko camp contacted his manager Adam Booth to ask for negotiations to complete contracts.
Haye's showdown against his mandatory challenger Ruslan Chagaev in May has been postponed while Klitschko — the IBF and WBO champion — is scheduled to face Dereck Chisora at the end of April.
The Hayemaker said: "We are back on. We are trying to make it happen.

Haye means negotiations are back on. It's not lying if a journalists and you misinterpret his words. Your anti-Haye talk is so boring.

WBA heavyweight champion David Haye hopes to take on WBO and IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko in July after rescheduling his next fight.
The Briton, 30, hopes to unify the titles before retiring later this year.
"One way or another my next fight is going to be in July," Haye told BBC Sport. "The fight that was scheduled for May has been cancelled.
"I'm hoping it's going to be against Wladimir Klitschko. We should know something more in the next few days."
Wladimir's brother Vitali holds the WBC heavyweight title and Haye is keen to fight both men before he turns 31 in October, at which point the Londoner plans to quit boxing.
