Trying to down play the current situation within the HW division, downplaying where Parker and the team have the opportunity to do for the first time in NZ.

"It's Joseph that calls the shots, not Duco....he is hard headed about it....he just wants the money, etc etc"
He went on saying that this fight wouldn't be even in the top 100 of boxing fights staged in NZ.
This guy is still butthurt over splitting with Parker and Duco.
He starts off by saying that Parker has never fought a top 20 opponent. He then goes on to say that if he was to pick the top guys to fight for the belt, he'd pick two from Povetkin, Wilder and Wlad. As we all know, Takam went 10 rounds with a drugged up Povetkin before being KO'd, and was even on the scorecards. The fact that he can say Parker hasn't fought a top 20 opponent shows just how bitter the old fart is.

I agree. If Haye has anything left after his layoff. He's as fast and powerful as Parker with more experience. AJ is a better match-up for Parker than Haye. Not saying Haye could beat AJ, but even Haye would be a bad match-up for Haye.
But hey, at least I would see my top 8 heavyweight fighters fighting each other if Parker/Haye fought.

Haye made a fool of himself, not Klit. And Haye did ok in the ring with Klit. Given the build-up, no one gave Haye a chance of not getting KO'd. He was a cruiser weight.

Got to say I was marginally disappointed with Wlad in that fight, he seemed reluctant to engage, but Haye was a joke. do you not consider Haye performed badly for fear of being KOED Die?

Probably. I think Haye played mind games, coming out late for the fight, people worrying about whether he would come out at all. He seems to have matured since then. Never really liked him. I honestly can't remember the fight, Sham, except I was surprised he went the distance.
I remember Vitali being disappointed that his brother didn't KO him, and wanted to fight Haye also.
Fast forward 10 years or so, and Fury uses mind games with Klit and wins. I was really disappointed in Klit not taking the fight to Fury. Gotta hand it to Fury, he had the right game plan and mind games to put Klit off his game. I don't think he's a spent force, and the AJ/Klit fight would have been a good one. A chess match until one KO'd the other. Hope it happens in March.

Wlad still has a point to prove. Hopefully he and AJ will sort it out.

Joe isn't prime wladamir though. The discipline from klitschko won him that fight. He didn't switch off for one second.
