Don't know if anyone else has seen this?
Surely if Haye really wants the Klitschko fight he should fight winner of Dimitrenko vs Chambers for a clash next year verses Wlad and then move on to Vitali?

If he doesn't get a fight against Vitali then he will most probably have to force himself into a mandatory position for one of the alphabet titles. He has decent rankings across the board so you're not far off the mark, mate.
Dimitrenko-Chambers is a final eliminator. The winner will be Wlad's mando.

Never saw Dimitrenko, is he any good?
He's alright. He's like a poorer version of Wlad actually. Very tall, technically adept, relies on the jab mostly, but he's not as fast or powerful, or as good of a mover (he's not scared).
He'd be great preperation for Wlad.

Perhaps if Haye stubs his toe and postpones his next fight he will be ranked # 1.:patsch

Just watched a couple of rounds, he looked quite exciting.

Pulling out of a fight injured doesn't erase everything else you've acheived in your career.
Yep he's a decent talent. Chambers should get him wider recognition outside Europe, and I can't really see the American beating him. I doubt he's got a high enough work-rate to win a decision against Dimitrenko, and he's not got the power to bother him either. Hell Chambers managed to make it close against Sam Peter because he's so passive.
Dimitrenko, Boytsov and Povetkin give me some hope for the future of heavyweights.
