In an interview with Sky Sports (video available at the link), Wladimir Klitschko said he's done discussing David Haye, saying that the new WBA titlist isn't "serious" and isn't worth his time.

"I actually don't want to give you any comments on David Haye because he bailed out twice, from my fight and my brother's fight," Klitschko said.

"I'm actually tired of giving comments about David Haye.

"He's immature, he's not serious enough to take a challenge, and this is it."

Klitschko is still recovering from shoulder surgery, and is expected to fight either Eddie Chambers or Alexander Povetkin in the spring of 2010. Haye has a mandatory challenge from John Ruiz expected to take place in March or April. Wladimir's brother, Vitali, fights again in just a couple of weeks, when he takes on unbeaten American Kevin Johnson.

Wladimir especially seems genuinely tired of Haye's name being mentioned. Look, no matter how you want to look at it, this is a fighter that talked enormous trash on both brothers, was set to fight each of them, and bailed both times. The Klitschkos are pretty serious about their careers, and if they feel like Haye jerked them around and wasted their time (they got good fights as replacements, but still), then Haye might have a good mountain to climb to get back on their radar.
