The recent fight between The Ring recognized heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye no doubt left a bitter aftertaste in the mouths of many fans of heavyweight boxing. While Wladimir pitched a near-shutout against the loud-mouthed Brit, there was a feeling among many observers that the younger of the Klitschko brothers once again showed a lack of killer instinct, that he could have pressed harder to put Haye away before the end of round 12.
One of those who was left the most dissatisfied was Wlad?s older brother, WBC champion Vitali Klitschko.
Vitali (42-2-0), who fights Poland?s Tomasz Adamek in the latter?s back yard (Wroclaw, Poland) on Saturday, has stated many times since the Wlad vs Haye tilt that while he is proud of Wlad?s victory over Haye, he was troubled by the fact that Wlad failed to ?put David Haye to the floor.? Vitali has also offered Haye a chance to redeem himself by fighting the elder Klitschko brother, only to have Haye state that he ?has no beef with Vitali? (odd, as that?s not what he was saying before he lost to Wlad ? I guess the fact that Vitali once choked Haye in a German restaurant doesn?t count as a ?beef.?)
