Wladimir says Haye embarrassed to walk the streets
November 24th, 2011
By John F. McKenna (McJack): In a withering verbal attack on the opponent he vanquished last July WBA/IBF/WBO/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (56-3, 49 KO’s) said that former Wprld Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion David Haye (25-2, 23 KO’s) has no option but to return to the ring to fight his brother World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (43-2, 40 KO’s).
“David walks around with a battered ego. He cannot even hold his head high in his own country, because he embarrassed himself when he fought, and showed that he was a chicken for 12 rounds.
“David just didn’t want the challenge after I’d hit him. After all the trash talking, a lot of it below the belt, he disappointed a lot of people in his own country.
“I have a feeling he won’t retire. He’s an athlete and athletes have an ego. That ego is damaged right now. If he is a real man, he will come back. Slowly, I think the reality is dawning on him and he is carrying a terrible embarrassment over what happened against me in July.
“He lost his mind but I delivered some reality rehab to him in that fight. I promised to knock out David and I couldn’t. Vitali said to me straight after the Haye fight that he would have knocked him out if he had fought him when I did. We love each other but we are competitors. For me the chapter is complete. But we just wish David Haye would fight my brother. If he has the guts and ego, which got hammered against me he will be back.”
Wladimir’s trainer Emanuel Steward is quick to caution that Haye will not be an easy opponent for Vitali, pointing out that he is fast and has explosive power. Steward believes that because of their contrasting styles a match between Vitali Klitschko and David Haye would be very competitive.
Wladimir on the other hand feels that Vitali will dominate the “Hayemaker”. Vlad acknowledges that his older brother is stronger than he is and feels that if the fight does happen Vitali will knock Haye out.
An announcement regarding who Vitali’s next opponent will be won’t be made until after Vladimir’s showdown with Frenchman Jean-Marc Mormeck (36-4, 22 KO’s) on December 10.

Haye is only in for financial motive he doesn’t care if he he’s the Champ or not, but it’s likely they will fight and Vitali wins via KO.
Easy last payday vor Vitali and David.
Its no big deal….ALOT OF ENGLISH Sportsman, English Football Team etc etc TALK HEAVY and then when CRUNCH TIME COMES FAIL TO DELIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! does anyone remember Hatton running into the ring post like a Tom n Jerry Cartoon for his 1st defeat??????
Do NOT give this guy another payday!…He’ll buy a boat-load of sparlky suits and try to use his phony status to talk to the girls @ the fights….I saw and heard him. weak…
haye : the biggest “No show” in boxing history…
it didnt take long for it to dawn on the K brothers that without Haye there will be no more big pay days in the HW division.
vitali v haye will be more competetive as Vitali is visibly slower and more open than Wlad, but on the other hand he is very dificult to hurt and unlike Wlad he will literally try and take Haye’s head off, his emotions are far closer to the surface than his younger brothers also.
The Klitshkos are playing with Haye after his pathetic antics both in and out of the ring. This is checkmate he cant win.
Return to the ring and he will almost certainly be beaten, Vitali is calling out a man who he knows he can beat and doesn’t even have to meet.
Return and against all odds beat Vitali only then to have it taken from him again by Wladimir who will then reign supreme.
Fail to return and you live with the lie. What a mess this fool has created for himself.
Chris5 – Manny never said Vitali hits harder than Wladimir.
Heayweight Boxing needs David Haye, have you felt any excitement in the heavy division since?
Manny didn’t say that, he just said Vitali is more static than Wlad. He also added that Vitali hits harder and that he’s like a wall, no way to knock him down.
So please don’t interpret in the wrong way ’cause Manny knows Haye has less chances with Vitali than he had with Wlad.
he doesnt deserve a match dont give him a big pay day thats all he wants vitali will kill him
I think Haye should stay retired and get into acting.As that was all his boxing career was a big manufactured act.He has almost no chance of even going 6 rounds with Vitali.But i would like to see him feet up on the floor where he belongs in the heavyweight division.I feel very unpatriotic having this train of thaught but after all the bigging himself up he did,without actually having any proper competition at this weight was nauseating.So many of my friends naively believed the hype and how right i was when he actually tried to test himself against a real world champion,being wladimir.Haye is not a good heavyweight end of story.
I hope Vitaly-Haye will happen, and I think it would finish as John McKenna wrote.
