David Haye Update

From Ringtv.com:

David Haye has confirmed retirement plans will be put on hold if he is offered a title shot at one of the all-conquering Klitschko brothers.

Former WBA heavyweight holder Haye had always maintained he would quit the sport before his 31st birthday, on October 13, 2011.

But the possibility of a return against The RING and current four-belt champion Wladimir Klitschko, who easily beat Haye on points back in July, or a first crack at the Ukrainian’s older bother Vitali, the WBC holder, has persuaded the British star to think again.

And Haye, from Bermondsey, south London, also revealed how informal talks with former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, while on holiday recently, contributed to the change of heart.

"If I am given a rematch or Vitali will fight me, then I will postpone my retirement for six months," Haye (25-2, 23 knockouts) told German daily newspaper Bild. "I've reconsidered everything after talking to my family and a meeting with Lennox Lewis in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

"We chilled out there and Lennox gave me some tips on how to beat Vitali - just like he did in 2003. Vitali should give me the chance…if he dares.”

Haye, a former world cruiserweight champion, lost a one-sided unanimous decision against Wladimir earlier in the summer when most reckoned he looked way out of his depth. However, he remains defiant about that horror show in Hamburg.

“Wladimir couldn't put me down and he had the referee, judges and fans on his side. I had no real chance,” said the Englishman.

No need for Vitali-Haye to happen.

Nobody else for Vitali to fight.

Haye doesn't deserve the pay day.

I'd like to see a refocused Arreola vs. Haye.

If they pay Haye by the punch, I'm all for it. Aside from that, HELL NO he doesn't deserve another payday or title shot.

LOL Thats great.

Haye easily makes it to the distance, he's got the mobility and head movement to avoid Vitali's glacial shots.

but powerful

Probably right, sticks and moves and loses a decision

They are dangerous but I am not convinced they pack the same pop as Wladimir's.

Might not, but he lets his hands go MUCH more than Wlad does

Vitali mixes his shots up unlike Wlad's same old 1-2 then clinch if a fighter gets close

I highly doubt that Vitali's punches hurt any less than Wlad's.
