Khan is the best LWW out there, so he'll beat whoever he fights in that division. The challenge will be when he moves upto 147. There's alot of good fights he could get there - Mayweather, Berto, Mosley, Margarito, Cotto etc.

id like to see him fight the winner of alexander v bradley next year sometime, think alexander is the better of those two...

then he can move up to 147...will be harder though in that division!

I think Khan would beat Alexander easily. The only reason he's still champion is because he was given a gift decsion against Kotelnik earlier this year. I think Bradley wins a comfortable UD.

Can't see Mosley still fighting on after Pacquiao, and doubt Margarito or Cotto will come down to 147 again. Berto, or Alverez is more likely for Khan by the time he moves up.

Wladimir Chisora back on. End of April. According to the article it was all sorted with Haye for the same date (30th) but Sky refused two have to pay-per-view showings in the same month. Seems strange given Chisora Kiltschko was scheduled to be PPV on Box Office before it was cancelled. Best we can hope for now is Haye takes out Vitali around April/May time and then unifies on/just before his 31st in October. If Sky was really the only sticking point this time then it's a shame. Not sure what the other fight is they'll already have arranged for April, but unless I've missed Mayweather and Pacquiao finally agreeing to get in the ring then I can't see there being many more lucrative fights for Sky. This fight should happen but it's looking more and more unlikely with Haye's October deadline (should he stick to it).

The Klitschko brothers are an embarrassment to Boxing....Any chance Heavyweight boxing had of gaining some dignity has now all but gone, with these pair of clowns holding the belts. If I was Haye, I would now head off to Vegas, find a couple of US fighters who the Yanks will be happy to watch him destroy, whilst earning good money and then retire.....I certainly wouldn't allow the Coward brothers to dictate his own schedule.

If that's true then it's appalling from the Klitschkos. Truth is though so much has been said from both parties that I don't think the average fan has a clue what's going on.

Haye needs this fight for his legacy in boxing as much as either brother does so simply boxing an average Joe in Vegas won't do anymore for him than battering Aurdrey did.

Apparently Vitali is set to announce a bout against Odlanier Solis so if (and it's an increasingly big if in my opinion) Haye does stay true to his word and retire by 31 then it's unlikely he'll fiight both brothers, I only hope he gets one of them!

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Thu Jan 06, 2011 8:04 am  

Haye has come out and said the same this morning. I cannot believe Wlad. It was bad enough Haye agreeing on a 50/50 split when Haye was putting in 4 times as much money into the pot due to sky box office. Now we hear about the other ridiculous terms. Haye now says 'he can retire with his head held high' as he did all he could to make this fight happen. Reading into Haye's comments I strongly get the feeling that Haye is relieved that the fight may not happen and this time around it isnt his fault why it wont. That he doesn't want the fight but will take the gamble, put his career and legacy on the line, but now that has come to a sense of relief to him. If Haye really wanted to fight the Klitchos why not do Vatali first early or before summer, then have Wladamir in the Nov/Dec....

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Thu Jan 06, 2011 9:40 am  

It seems t me like the brother are running scared, the Haye camp gave them everything they wanted and more yet have still not accepted the fight. Disappointing for the heavyweight scene.

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Thu Jan 06, 2011 12:48 pm  

haye klitschko saga continues!

actually think the fight will still go ahead and this is just all a loooong build up

the fight was agreed for beginning of july and wlad is still saying it can happen on that date but no haye is saying no because wlad has agreed to fight chisora (which is fair enough because this fight was supposed to happen until wlad pulled out with a injury)

think haye is more the dodger in this

he could still fight in july but would have to give up his wba belt... if hes so desperate for the fight then why not do this?? we all know hes the wba champ anyway...

why not fight vitali, hes available.....maybe because vitali is the better brother?? and he wants to delay this one till vitali is even more aged

why not do your mandatory fight v chagaev then fight wlad later in the year?? oh because haye wants to retire at 31....

i think its boiling down to haye not liking the fact that chisora is going to get a shot at wlad first, may tarnish wlad as a champ if chisora puts in a good performance and makes wlad look bad therefore making it look not the big task hayes making it.

hope chisora wins

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Thu Jan 06, 2011 1:15 pm  

I wouldn't believe a word coming out of either camp over who has supposedly agreed to what and who is demanding this, that and the other.

Neither the Klitschkos nor Haye particularly want to get these fights on as they know they are high risk. loser has nowhere to go bouts.

There's plenty of easy money to be made fighting other people rather than each other.
