By William Mackay: WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-1, 23 KO’s) wants IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) to be taking criticism from boxing fans for having selected Dereck Chisora to fight as a tune-up on April 30th before their fight on July 2nd. Haye is someone that has things twisted in his mind where he believes that Wladimir is looking for a way out of their fight.

Here’s what Haye had to say about Wladimir: “Hopefully he is getting some serious stick, will read what the world is saying about him and think, ‘okay maybe I will just cancel this fight and to the fight everyone wants to see.’ It is pretty sad but shows the mindset of Wladimir Klitschko and why he will go down in history as a heavyweight who just fought the worst possible people out there.”

Haye needs to maybe take a good look in the mirror when talking about heavyweights who fought the worst possible people out there. I don’t personally rank Monte Barrett and Audley Harrison, and I wasn’t impressed with Haye’s fights against paper WBA champion Nikolay Valuev. And I wasn’t impressed with Haye’s fight against 38-year-old John Ruiz either. Haye really has no room to talk when speaking about Wladimir having faced weak opposition. That’s kind of what Haye has done at heavyweight.

The one that is getting the most criticism between Haye and Wladmir is Haye, as far as I can tell. Boxing fans don’t understand why he’s so upset just because Wladimir is fighting a tune-up bout before their July 2nd bout. Haye has worried himself for nothing, unless he’s worried about something else like him being forced to fight his mandatory challenger Ruslan Chagaev in May.
