As u can see his corner threw in the towel even tho david haye wanted to keep fighting.
Remember this is the same carl that stopped chris eubank to so he wasnt a shit fighter but he was past it at this point it was just haye beat himself really.
Ross Purity is just plain tough, and is a good puncher. THat's why Wlad punched himself out trying to put the guy down. Had he been smart, he would've just paced himself and tried for a KO in deep water, but he was young, inexperienced, and thought he was invincible. Shit happens.
Corrie Sanders, however, was a different story. That guy had about every tool needed to be THE dominating force in the heavyweight division....everything except for dedication. Lightning quick hands, southpaw stance, size, and a freight train for a straight left. If he'd ever bothered to get into shape, he could've ruled the division. It didn't surprise me at the time when he KO'd Klitchko.
If you don't like Klitchko, why bother trash talking him? Why not just ignore any thread with his name?
And regarding Haye... If that guy doesn't change his style fucking dramatically, he'll be leaving his match with Klitchko in the prone position. He has a decent toolbox, but needs serious work on technique. You can't fight low against Klitchko, you can carry your guard low, and you can move inside without doing it behind your jab. And these are just a couple of the things I saw that will get him KO'd.
Anyway, my main point in this response was this: Who gives a shit what happened earlier in either guy's career? Both are different fighters now than they were then. You can't compare losses and determine who's the better fighter, just like you can't compare wins and do the same.
Sometimes the some of guys on this forum act like spoiled 10 year old kids, or worse.
1. Thompson >>>>>>>>>>>>> Ross "LMAO" Purrity
2. Haye is 27 right now and he faced Thompson before his 23rd Birthday in 2004
3. Cruiserweight Contender who was Top 10 ath the time, Who the fuck is Ross Purrity? Oh that bum with a losing record who KO'd Wlad, LOL!!! wasn;t even top 100
4. A win over a Hall of famer >>> A loss over a bum called Purrity, Tell me who the fuck has Ross Purrity beaten before he fought Wlad? or After?
5. Thompson won the WBO Cruiserweight title, either your dumb as fuck or do your research before you chat shit
6. 37 is so fucking young :ugh: He still got knocked the fuck in 2 rounds and looked like a bum near Sanders.
7. argueing with bitchko nuthugger is like beating a fucking dead horse...they never admit anything even when they know deep down what has happened in the past.
Bitchko fans = most embarassing...go on embarrass yourself further, I have all day for this :banana:
Not trying to make excuses for Haye, but he was obviouslly gassed in that fight, he couldn't even jab at Thompson from the 4th on, so Carl was completelly free to fire at will with nothing coming in return.
If he had a jab at least, he would probably have beat Thompson in that fight.
Major mistake for Haye, in boxing you always have to get ready to go the full 12 rds.
If he does the same against Wlad he is gonna end up in a hospital, although I think he has learned from that defeat.

haye def hs heart. thompson was a very good puncher even at that age. it was more about haye running out of energy.
lmao. youre saying haye wasnt dropped? I'd rather be stopped due to gassing in the 10th round when never being past the 6th before after totally dominating a fighter regardless of the fighters record than getting dropped and stopped by a little 40 yr old shot has been fighter in like the 5th round
Haye has never been past the 4th round before he was stopped in his 10th fight against Carl thompson either.
Haye was born 10/13/1980
he fought Thompson 09/10/2004, a month before his 24th birthday.
37 is not that old for a HW these days. Lennox Lewis stopped Tyson 3 months before his 37th birthday.
You want to brag on a title he won from Ralf Rocchigiani, who previously KO'd Thompson for a vacant WBO belt, and that he lost on his first defence?
lmao. I love all this ownage. green coming your way
Thompson never floored haye either, your double standards are pathetic...you sir are as delusional as the republicans who think Clinton still has a chance :banana:
Haye and Wlad were both 22 in their losses, the thing was Wlad lost to a journeymen/bum who did not even have half more wins than his losses :lol1: where Haye lost to a guy who beat Eubank & Rothmann and was a former cruiserweight champion. Bottom line is I would rather lose a guy who has a winning record and actually beat contenders in his division/ was top 10 in the rankings, rather than a guy who is a journeyman and probably not even ranked anyone near the top 100 :lol1:
like i said...pretty fucking embarrasing....atleast a 40 year old Sanders KTFO of Wlad in 2 rounds, but you can say Sanders was a good fighter who had only been stopped by Hasim Rahman and Nate tubbs before...BUT ross fucking purrity a 33 year old bum with a losing record nor ranked anywhere near the top 50 who wlad was supposed to KO in 2 or 3 rounds, beat him :lol1:

40 Year Thompson >>>>>>>>>>>> 33 year old bum who has more losses than wins in Ross Purrity :lol1: :lol1: ...yeah pretty fucking embarrasing
purrity was 6'3 250 lbs and was dangerous when he showed up to fight which wasnt often
Enzo caught him too, Haye had a nasty cut.
Now all we need is Wlad to "catch" him and this hypejob is finished.
Don't get me wrong, I like Haye, he's a good fighter, but the way the media overhype boxers makes me grow to despise everything they do and stand for, case in point Amir Khan.
add mock to the list. haye's an exciting fighter with heart,,good power (at cruiser at least) and hand speed but he's going to need to fight differently against the more dangerous heavyweights like wlad,,peter,,,chageav and a couple others
As u can see his corner threw in the towel even tho david haye wanted to keep fighting.
Remember this is the same carl that stopped chris eubank to so he wasnt a shit fighter but he was past it at this point it was just haye beat himself really.
part of it was stamina in that instance but he does also have a suspect chin. he also has heart. I'll give him that but lets not ignore the obvious chin problem
As for the Eubank fights, yeah Eubank was way too small but Thompson actually went out and tried to win. How often did Purrity try to win?
I am just pointing out that Thompson has never really won any fight of real significance, the haye nuthugger seem to believe his 1 and done romance with the WBO (Brit Belt) makes him a potential hall of fame inductee.
The loss to Purrity by Wlad can and should be blamed on poor management.
It was Wlad's 6th fight in 6 months. He was in on 3 weeks rest, had lost 6 pounds since his last fight (over trained) and was put into a 12 round fight against a guy who had gone the distance with rahman, johnsons, corie sanders, michael grant etc etc etc etc.... Wlad had never been past 6 rounds in his career to that point. I guarantee Purritty went into that fight thinking he would win if he made it to the 10th round.. and he did.... Klitschko was 22.
Haye on the other hand lost because of himself. He was 24, he had 4 months to prepare for Thompson and he decided jogging on the treadmill for 15 minutes a day would be good enough. Thompson was basically 40 years old, and had been stopped multiple times by guys with a lot less power than Haye. He is arrogant and lacks the focus that Klitschko displays everyday.
I don't really care who is better between Thompson and Purritty, my point is that when you look at the facts the loss by Haye was much more embarrassing because HE was responsible for it 100%.
I agree, that's why he was able to get victories over some decent guys like an unmotivated Jorge Gonzales, an out of shape Joe Hipp and the draw with Morrison.
It is more than likely that you will go the distance against Puritty so it's not a wise thing to unload punches on him like Wladimir did, trying to impress with a KO win over him.
Puritty can throw a punch and he can take a punch, tiring against him means trouble. He doesn't fight when someone can fight back.
I would not argue that Puritty was better than Carl Thompson like some people in this thread are...
Thompson was a top contender and a titleholder for some time, Puritty was a journeyman, a tough one yes but still a journeyman.

You've got to admire Thompson's toughness (although he could be knocked out), he was being outboxed here against another young prospect then out of nowhere wins by KO.

Ross Puritty.
Here's the thing, Purrity is a journeyman. The only way a journeyman can continue getting the best purses possible is to not get knocked out. If Purrity doesn't get knocked out then he has more paydays in front of him.
From where I see it, having no nationalistic agenda like some in this thread do, I think Thompson had a superior career to Purrity. I don't know what that means should Haye and Klitschko fight, but for what it's worth Thompson was superior to Purrity.
Quite a few in fact. He fights a lot in the midwest where I'm from so his fights are broadcast here somewhat regularly. I've seen both Klitschko fights, the Eddie Chambers fight, the Byrd and Donald fights and probably more I can't always remember.
He doesn't keep up an active pace so he's usually set to absorb a shot. That's why he doesn't get stopped often. How many have you seen, Mr. Knowitall?

Ross Puritty.
We are talking about the same Carl Thompson who was stopped in 4 rounds by Ezra Sellers..... a fighter so pathetic the WBO wouldnt even sanction a fight between he and Enzo Macc.. when they would sanction a fight with mark hobson and bobby gunn Bobby Gunn?
The same Carl Thompson who was stopped twice early in his career by light heavyweights?
The same Carl Thompson who was knocked out by Ralk Rocchigiani, a man with 8 losses and 7 draws??? Knocked out by Johnny Nelson in 5 rounds????
Oh Wow he beat Chris Eubank....A Middleweight fighting at cruiserweight.. Eubank was 20 pounds heavier than he was 6 months previous when he fought Calzaghe at Super Middle..... yeah he mustve been in great shape for those fights.....
The Ezra Sellers who was turned down for Enzo Macca was a much older, on the downslide Sellers than the one who had knocked out Thompson in a 4-round shootout.
Let's not overlook that Sellers was sanctioned in America to fight for the IBF title against Kelvin Davis in 2004. It's not like he was some bum from nowhere who wasn't at one point a relevant contender. He was also regarded as a decent puncher, particularly with uppercuts.
Carl Thompson did have a weak chin but the fact of the matter is that he won a lot more often than did Purrity who was a steppingstone for prospects. Guys who were 9-0 and 11-0 fight Purrity. Thompson was a legitimate contender.
As for the Eubank fights, yeah Eubank was way too small but Thompson actually went out and tried to win. How often did Purrity try to win?
Carl Thompson holds two wins over Chris Eubank and one over Haye. Thompson was atleast a relevant contender, which is more than can be said of Purrity.

How old was Haye when he started his career, how old was wlad when he started his? Atleast wlad had good amatuer experience...and he still got fucked by a bum
winning a world title is more than Purrity has ever done and will ever do :banana:
the bolded part made me spit my drink out, i will just let others see this and judge themselves before i make a comment on it
Haye had good amatuer experience as well, or do you forget the whoopin that Solis gave him? I think most people will agree that Lewis' prime was in his mid thirties, and unless you're Mike Tyson, most HWs are still pretty effective at that age.
Watch the Thompson fight again if you think Haye wasn't floored. The whole argument over Puritty is mute anyway, Klitschko was not floored or seriously hurt in that fight, he just punched himself out after 10 rounds, something Haye did after 4. Which do you think is worse?
Purrity dropped a prime Tommy Morrison twice and had to settle for a draw.
A better accomplishment than anything Thompson ever did.
I'd disagree entirely here. Tommy Morrison, the same Morrison who was railed in the first for the WBO belt by an upstart tuneup? The same who went down twice against Carl Williams? I'm not sure that's anything to hang your mantle up in Canastota about.
Carl Thompson holds two wins over Chris Eubank and one over Haye. Thompson was atleast a relevant contender, which is more than can be said of Purrity.
Purrity doesn't get stopped because he goes into survival mode from the opening bell.
He was in survival mode during the Klitschko fight until Wladimir self destructed. That was a long, long time ago. The Brewster fight raises more valid questions.
