By Dave Lahr: It’s sounding more and more like IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) might end up backing out of his summer fight with WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-1, 23 KO’s) due to Wladimir’s talked about abdominal injury. I hope I’m wrong but the way that Wladimir is talking, it seems like he’s preparing Haye for the worst by talking about how Vitali Klitschko will step in to fight Haye if the injury is still there by the summer.
Look at the BBC interview Wladimir gave where he said “If I can’t perform, then my brother will step in because he’s been in the division a really long time.” I don’t like the way that sounds. It’s almost like he’s preparing Haye for the bad news ahead of time. If’ I’m Haye, I won’t even both training for Wladimir. I’d be thinking Vitali all the way. There is a big difference between the two of them, so Haye has got to have time to know which Klitschko brother he’s going to be fighting. The thing of it is Haye might not fight out until the last second because Wladimir can drop out at any time with his lingering abdominal injury, leaving Haye to have to come up with a good game plan on the fly. I think Haye can beat both of the Klitschko brothers, but only if he’s given enough time to put together a fight strategy. He can’t just come up with one in two or three days if he suddenly finds out he’s not fighting Wladimir and instead has to fight Vitali.
In his interviews, Wladimir doesn’t exactly instill confidence that he’ll make it to the fight. He makes it sound like an “if” thing rather than positively saying he’s going to be fighting Haye. I smell fear. I don’t think Wladimir wants to fight Haye.
Completely agree, it smacks of trying to put Haye off, (even for a couple of weeks) training for one then the other comes into play. Vitali is the stronger of the 2 but I really want to see Vladimir being KO’d, not that I dislike him but it will be good for boxing to have an athletic, fast powerful heavyweight champ and not the safety first option the 2 Kiltschkos are…
If Wladimir pulls out of the Haye fight, it´s an injury.
If Vitali looses, it´s because of injuries.
If they win, it´s never because of injuries.
And if, it´s the fault of the opponent.
Your Klitschko-Fanatics need to pull-off your brainwashed double-standard glasses.
@ fair but firm
Showing your intelligence again I see!
In early may Haye will find out he is fighting Vitalli. It is the fight everyone wants to see anyway.

*****************
Why don’t you hold that kind of talk for your next Klan meeting?
It is in german news today. the leaning seems towards a vitali-haye fight.
so the k brothers, giving to charity, vitali married for years, both of them drs, both speaking 4 languages, are satinic? while haye with his lies (haye tried to sign to fight mormeck again) and his stripper girlfriend just after his wife had a baby. chisora beating up women and weaker men are the good guys. we hate the k brothers….but no problem with rapists, muggers, cheaters, even murderers, and wife beaters, which is what most of our champions have been….
a 2 inch muscle tear is a very serious injury, which may never heal properly. and they are merely offering haye a chance at another belt. they have to let haye know by may 1st how vladimir is doing so he can prepare for one of them. craig, you idiot, there was medical proof, which was given over to the public, just as its supposed to be. and they performed surgery on him–he has a scar. why defend haye, presently cheating with a stripper on his wife, just after she had a baby. or defend a guy who is a known wife beater and mugger….what, is it that you guys are all posting from prison?
“I smell fear.”
classic…
The tactic of the Klitschkos was clear:
Let Haye sign, than bring on Vitali, so Haye cannot pull-out without beeing called a coward.
Wladimir deals with Adamek then, also this contract is open.
Wladimir will never dare to risk the name of his family against Haye. He does not have the balls.
What kind of bulls..t is that if two fighters can prepare for one guy and one guy has to prepare for two guys?
haye has a better chance against vitali to win..whic h wud be better for boxing haye beating vitali then to take on wlad wud be a brilliant night for boxing.if haye fights wlad 1st its gona be over for haye and we wont get one guy holding all the belts untill vitali retires
I MENTIONED THIS LAST WEEK IN AN ARTICLE IM TELLING YOU WLAD IS A COWARD THERE IS NO INJURY
All the stories have been told of kings and days of old but there’s no England now.
Very soon you will hear from the klitshckos trickish devlish satanic manager announcing vitali as hayes opponent.But the devils shall be defeated its davids haye time.
To have to be a Britard to not see the Klitschkos are good honest guys
Look, the goal is for each brother to have two belts. Anyone who didn’t see this coming along (especially HAYE) is naive. Haye will lose to the K bros this summer. The K bros will each have two belts and rule the Division. MARK MY WORD! Only way out of Haye getting destroyed is for Haye to retire without ever fighting a K bro. Then its easy grabbings for the K bros. Maybe Haye will fight Solis as his last fight of his career – LOL
I have afeeling wladimir will pull out to fight david haye and pave way for for vitali to fight. I dont really trust those people at all with this dubious contracts of if one doesnt heal. You dont need to be ascientist to know this kind of doggie and crookish fishie ways of the klitshckos: But very soon its coming to the end. Its hayes time to take the belts.
carnt wait to see haye crushed the dumb @ss nigg@
