Heavyweight scene needs right now.
The heavyweight scene has been dead for the last 5 or so years. The Klitschkos have dominated and have bored us all senseless with their fighting style and their good behaviour. Look at the great fighters Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson both have been involved in brawls of this magnitude yet they were never threatened by life time bans and prison.
Also why are people calling for them to be punished, I thought the whole night was great, exactly what the doctor ordered for this dying weight class. Lets not kid ourselves here in the past the heavyweight title has been the most exciting title of all, and it was the reason boxing became so popular. But recently the sport it self has started to dwindle, less fans turn up for the matches and a lot less people pay to watch it, and a huge part of that is down to the boring heavyweight scene.
People easily forget that the sport is based on two men being paid to fight each other and people pay to watch these two men fight, which incidentally is morally a lot worse than watching two people throw a few punches at each other in a press conference. People calling Haye and Chisora a disgrace and calling for them to have life time bans need to think again. The sport is based on two people with a quarrel with each other and want to fight each other. Also If Chisora and Haye are disgraces then so are Lewis and Tyson.
For boxing to become as popular as it once was Chisorra and Haye must be allowed to fight each other and take on the Klitchkos.
One last anyone who reads this will you please answer this question, Would you like to see Chisora and Haye fight each other? or would you rather they both never fought again?
Haye and Chisora are exactly what the...

Nah they're a disgrace. Chisora more so than Haye. From start to finish, Chisora acted like a complete fool. Slapping Vitali, then spitting water in Wladimir's face. As I said before Haye and Chisora have managed the impossible. Theyve made both the Klitschko's brothers, heros to the british public

Unless everyone from an era where boxing was very popular were 'real fans' then you have proved me correct in the way this debacle with Haye and Chisora will ultimately benefit the sport.
P.S your comment was very arrogant.

"The Klitschkos have dominated and have bored us all senseless with their fighting style and their good behaviour."
Rubbish, complete and utter rubbish. Your bored senseless with their style?
Vitali: holds the second best knockout-to-fight ratio of any champion in heavyweight boxing history.
46 fights = 40 KO's
Wladimir
59 fights = 49 KO's
The heaveyweight division has dropped badly in terms of standard but they can only beat what is in front of them, and both of them have beaten England's best.
Compared to most heavyweights they are in fantastic shape and always conditioned, they are gentlemen out of the ring and I think its safe to say Wladimir won alot of the British public over how he conducted himself over the whole Haye trash talking.
But sadly, you get people like who reek of jealousy and bitterness.

Apparently your argument seems to be
'They are boxers we shouldnt care if they fight outside the ring, as long as it entertains us'
By that logic police marksman can shoot people on their days off.
Also, utter rubbish that Wlad and Vitali are killing the division with their boring behaviour.
Wlad fighting Haye was a joy to watch. Watching some one with that technical ability, watching s fighter have a plan and execute it so well over a 12 round period was great to watch.
If you are only watching cause you hope to see people knocked out then go and buy Fight Night and play on that.
But please dont assume some of us dont like to watch boxers when with brains and technique

I agree with Arsene Wenger's wife.
