Does it Matter Where Haye-Klitschko Takes Place?

The latest news is that Haye is willing to travel to Germany to make the fight. Apparently, Haye is willing to go the extra yard to get the fight, even singing on for the rematch options that the Klitschko management wants.

Hopefully this is good enough to appease Wladimir and his brother Vitali, because this fight needs to be made already. If Wladimir walks away from this deal, there’s a good chance that Haye, with his glass chin, might get knocked out by the first journeyman he faces in the ring. That’s a risk that Wladimir doesn’t want Haye to have to take if he’s smart.

You can’t let a fighter with a tender chin and a big mouth like Haye get away, because if Vitali or Wladimir don’t get the chance to knock him out, someone else surely will if given the chance. My advice is to bend a little to get the fight signed, then knock Haye out and give Vitali a chance to knock him out as well.

Once Haye has been beaten by both brothers, he can then be kicked to the curb and left alone. Until then, these Ukrainians need to not blow it. When you’re looking fool’s gold like Haye, you got to take it, beat him up, knock the glimmer off of him and get the easy payday.

Can you imagine how Wladimir and Vitali will feel if Haye turns around and fights Kevin Johnson or Alexander Povetkin and then gets knocked out. Wlad and Vitali would be kicking themselves for the mess of things they made, and would be faced to end their days fighting the mostly scrub heavyweights that the heavyweight division consists of.

That would be a fate worse than death, believe me. It would take them ages to get the same payday. Fighting Haye in Germany is a great idea, much better than having to go all the way to England fight in front of 50,000 rabid fans in London, most of the screaming for blood and singing those god awful soccer songs all the time. That would be horrible to listen to and I doubt Wladimir could even concentrate with that racket going on.
