Gwannnnnn!

Head to chest video more like!

David Haye is a certified don.
(Even though I think that was setup)

Did Haye down a few cans of Red Bull before he made his approach?

He's done a good job of linking himself to Wlad and making himself known as a viable opponent but he wants to be careful not to become obnoxious about it. I think the slightly over the top humourous performance after blasting Macca was pitched right.

I think it would have been better to have badgered Klitschko with a smile on his face and made fun of his mandatories rather than being so aggressive.

Mr Haye's get kfto If he goes near Wlad In the ring.

David Haye wins the first round in the banter stakes!!!

Mr Klitschko did not know what to do!!! - whats more he had no answers none at all!!!

funny "rocky balboa" posted this yesterday and no one bothered responding yet today the same link is posted and every starts feeding back...

Is "Rocky balboa" the boxred equivalent of Junior Witter??? :-)

Anyway the video was quite entertaining yet cringe worthy at the same time....

Wlad clearly doesnt like bad mouthing people and is a true gent... Haye is a nice guy too although you wouldnt think so watching that clip....

I dont think Vitali would have taken that kind of approach is such a diplomatic fashion!!!

What was he meant to say??

"yes i will fight you next and therefore get stripped of my titles!!"

and also remember Wlad is speaking in his 4th language.... he aint gonna be no Chris Tucker on the microphone..

agree with you Shirow... didnt have Davids usual tongue in cheek style about it...

just noticed at 2:12, someone says 'david, this is a charity press conference'- was that mike costello?

then wlad just repeats it at haye and haye just ignores him lol

Haye just made himself look like a tit IMO. Wlad was there to promote a charity a event, he wasn't there to call anyone out or have a ruck. Wlad acted in a dignified manner, Haye just acted like a petulant child.

"Fight me next" yeah Dave and be stripped of both his world titles - like knock out said, don't be stupid Haye.

I agree with Wlad, Haye need to behave himself!

True, Haye was selfish to promote himself at a charity event.

I don't mind If Klitschko humbles him a bit, Haye's getting over excited and Is going to look daft when Klitschko beats him.

I think a Holyfield-Haye clash would be intriguing too, considering Holyfield was the greatest Cruiser of all time and Haye now is saying he's bigger than Holyfield...kind of a Rocky Balboa feel to the whole scenario

He means bigger in size.

I'm a massive Haye fan but I thought he was bang out of order there.

I like Wlad too - he came over to do some charity work and he gets f*cking flash mobbed.

This is what Wlad was in town for... Very noble!!!!

You do what you gotta do to get the fight......i don't blame Haye for taking his chance when it arose.

Nobody gives a sh*t about seeing Klitschko defend alphabet straps against guys like Thompson and Povetkin. They are both easy touch opponents who lack punch power. They are the type of opponent Wlad likes and thats why he's so keen to fulfill his mandatory obligations.

We all complain about the alphabet pirates f*cking the sport up with their retarded rankings....and yet so many people are willing to defend Klitschko for hiding behind these organisations and their unworthy mandatories

The heavyweight division is in dire need of an injection of excitement and has been for several years now. Win, lose or draw.....Dabid Haye brings that excitement along with power, speed and bags of confidence.

Or should we all just make do with seeing Klitschko being babied and fighting non-punchers who in all reality have done no more to 'earn' a title shot than David Haye.

The only fight Klitschko should take ahead of a Haye fight, would be a rematch with Sam Peter to crown a Ring champ so we could totally do away with these tinpot organisations.

But we're not going to see that anytime soon either, because Wlad and the people who guide him do all they can to steer him away from punchers who might expose his highly suspect punch resistance and equally fragile confidence.

The heavyweights are a joke and Haye is getting stick for trying to shake them up and inject some life into a lifeless, supposedly flagship weight class? In a sport full of posturing prima donna's Haye is a fighter who actually wants to make the best fights available.....yeah i can see why people are unhappy with him

Of course you want Haye to lose, he's good for boxing, fights anyone, and splattered the Great Warren Hope.

It was definitely a cheap stunt on Haye's part. Let's see him make some noise at Heavyweight before making that sort of noise! "Fight me after I beat 2 top 10 Heavyweights". Beat them then give it the big'un!

In Max's head Macca won over 12-rounds and Haye faced ruination and has retired.

Autobarn as usual making up wild crap out of misreading a post and the usual sarcasm from my Manc nemisis.

You were one of the many who thought Audley would go all the way. At least Enzo Is world class and won a title.

I agree with Nickd

Faded guys who went on to score upset KO's and former champs who were never stopped even at HW. Not Mac's fault their faded.

Haye's yet to prove he'll be a good HW and alot think he'll beat an established champ like Klitschko already.

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with quite a lot of this. I just think Haye was a cheeky sod and it was out of order the way he approached him, especially given the circumstances why Wlad was there.

He's had one fight at heavy, lest we forget. I agree with Nick - beat a couple of top ten men, as Haye himself said, then give it the big un!

I don't think it looked set up. Unless Wlad is a much better actor than I expect him to be.

This is the issue, theres a time and a place!! Wlad is doing good charity work, this isnt the time!!

Plus, since when has Povetkin become a bum?? Since Haye has moved up to Heavy???
