David Haye pulls out of Tony Bellew rematch 'with injury'

[ewenhay]

I don't see Bellew fighting a live heavyweight unless the money is good enough to cash out.

That was an interesting PTBF matchup that would have likely decided the championship.

Expected, he knew he had no chance, sad to see he's wasting someone else his time on purpose.
Shame on you coward!

You really are a fist on the end of a babys arm.

Thu whut :s

haye in 2012 wouldve beaten vitali

I agree, vitali wouldn't be able to hit him.

And Haye would actually engage as Vitali can't punch for poo compared to his brother.

Lol! Vitali punches well hard enough to KO Haye. Never mind the fact he's a better boxer with a higher workrate.

Only watched a bit of the explanation from Eddie so far but my gut tells me he's blagging us, judging from his demeanor he sure doesnt strike me as someone who's telling us the entire truth.

I agree with this.

I know Haye gets injured whilst farting, but something sounds fishy about this latest one.

Wise move by Haye. He is a perfectionist, and right now can't take any chances. (...) A loss to Bellew now and its game over.

A couple more years of inactivity and the game is over anyway. In his situation 37 is quite an advanced age.

You Vitali haters are insane.. Haye was a great Heavyweight, but he had no real chance against either Klitschko Bro..

Puritty and Sanders stopped Waldimir but Vitali beat the living crap out of them and stopped them.. Was Wladimir suffering from a totally severed rotator cuff assembly in those 2 KO losses -- I don't think so.. Wladimir beat the living crap out of Chris Byrd, who got the luckiest win in Boxing History over Vitali.. Nobody ever floored Vitali or was winning on points after any fight with Vitali..

VK was winning all 47 of his 47 Heavyweight Fights at their conclusion... Lennox Lewis was winning 40 of his 44 Heavyweight Fights at their conclusion... It should be 41 because he was robbed blind against Holyfield, but it's not as good as Vitali's record.. Wladimir was winning strongly on points in his losses to Lamon Brewster and Ross Puritty -- and was well beaten by Sanders, Fury, and Joshua. So he was winning 66 of 69 fights.

Wladimir and Vitali were once asked who would win if they fought... Wladimir said, "Vitali would win. He's a natural fighter and I really had to work very hard at it.. He's much more talented." ... Vitali said, "It would not happen.. I would not sacrifice my brother for ring glory."

Vitali quit like a dog against Byrd and was carved up like a turkey in the Lewis fight, those were the two best opponents he faced. The rest of his record is truly shit, he does not hold a single premier win. He was a great arm-puncher though, I'll give him that.
