Comments Thread For: Klitschko Plan: Revisit Valuev Talks, Not Go After Haye

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Once WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko is finished with his next title defense, on October 16 in Germany against Shannon Briggs, he won't sit at the table with WBA champion David Haye. Instead Vitali wants to revisit discussions with Nikolai Valuev for a fight. Vitali tried to make a fight with Valuev for the last few months. Valuev rejected an original offer of $2.5 million dollars. He then turned down $1.5 million dollars but later agreed to accept the amount. After the two fighters agreed to the purse, they couldn't agree on the revenue split from the German and Russian television networks [Click Here To Read More]

Americans cheering for Shannon Briggs? Not particularly, no.

Valuev is so boring.

Why WOULD he try with Haye, everyone knows he's not going to fight Vitali much less Wlad.

Briggs is a waste of talent, I'm expecting K to send him to retirement permanently

The best thing to ever happen to boxing is the Klit brothers both dominating the division taking the belts and beating the hell out of all challenges. Plus being white enables them to call all the shots on who to fight and where and invest intelligently-speak intelligently and conduct them selves as intellectual gentleman without any lowclass tattoos smearing their skin. Two brothers setting an example for all atheletes how to conduct themselves professionally and intelligently and financially with no ****** slang interspersed into their conversations. Class act both of them and role models.

Vitali Klitschko has never trailed on the scorecards at the end of any fight, even his "losses."

Lennox Lewis's face didn't look too good at the end of their fight either.

As for getting knocked out, your guy Lewis was knocked COLD by journeymen Hasim Rahman and Oliver "Crackhead" McCall, and I don't see anyone saying he isn't a great heavyweight.

They have gone after Haye as hard as they could, and got no response.

They can't continue to do that. They'll just have to let the boxing public pressure Haye to fight them.

They will try get serious now with Valuev now that he has a real doubtful future with his medical condition, They won't go for Haye because Haye wont be fooled into daft contracts they know Haye is wanting to unify the division and only wanting 2 more fights why offer a contract with a 3 fight rematch clause.

Valuev is real vulnerable even if he is cleared to box again the K's and rest of the boxing world knows this.
