Is This a Joke?

It now appears that David Haye is not fit to fight Wladimir Klitschko on June 20th.  Something about a hand injury, or a back injury.  Seriously guys, do you think that it's ok to do this?  Do you think that it's ok to keep screwing over the boxing public time after time, after time, after time? Nikolay Valuev refused to really fight against Evander Holyfield, then he refuses to step in the ring with an infectious Ruslan Chagaev.  Chagaev has been injured or unable to fight in about 80 percent of his recent fights.  Vitali Klitschko is on pace to fight about once a year.  Sam Peter has proven that he sucks, and prospects like Chris Arreola, Eddie Chambers and Alexander Povetkin all have major flaws.  Then David Haye makes things interesting, talks a good game, and then pulls a Garnett and says "OWWW!!"

Wladimir is making things interesting in his online remarks lately, talking about maybe fighting Chagaev or Arreola as a backup to Haye.  Or maybe he'll wait 3 weeks and fight Haye.  Either way, diehard fans of heavyweight boxing once again have to do what it feels like we're always doing....waiting for a decent fight.
