I know this has been shown here before but I can't find the thread.
I love how Wladimir is like "Mr. Haye" and Haye says "Yeah, Mr. Haye". Regardless of whether you like or dislike David Haye, you have to admire his guts. He is the only guy not willing to be Mr. Nice Guy with the Klitschkos.
He has taken away the Klitschko's best advantage, their cool. He is making them show their championship qualities by removing all impersonality and making them show their hearts.
At the very least, he is making something happen in the heavyweight division.
OMG, why are people acting like pussies on this thread? I've never seen so much nuthugging for the Klist. Brothers. Look, at the end of the day, this is a fight. One person has to go in there and put the other person to sleep. Talking shit, getting in someone's face, hunting them down pre-fight is exactly what boxing needs.. EXCITEMENT; especially in the HW division which is soooo boring.
We cannot complain about the HW division then cry like girls when someone gets into another's face. Haye is getting under Vitali's skin, that is a great tactic to win the fight. Stop being girls people. This is a man's sport. Leave all that gentalman bullshit in another sport. I want to see trash talking, and I want to see someone get knocked out. I hope it is one or both of the Klitsckos (or however you spell their name, who cares), they have been stinking up the HW division for some time. Wlad with his glass chin and skill-less ass, and Vitali with making fights then cancelling them due to injury.
I'm all for Haye, he is good for the sport, good for the HW division. If you don't like trash talking, go watch another sport. Like many have said, this is a gladiator sport, shit talking is encouraged!!!
He is not going for Klitschko because he is the best(since Vitaly now is the lesser fighter then his brother). David is going for Big V because he wants to cash out on his name before some lesser(known) fighter cashes out on David Haye himself and he loses his appeal.
David Haye, by far, does not want to make any impact, or else he would go and actually beat up the likes of Gomez, Povetkin, Dmitrenko, etc...He just wants a meal ticket.
Nobody can dispute this post. Not with a straight face. You are 100% right.

Is that what wanting to fight the best fighters possible is called? A meal ticket?
He was the former undisputed Cruiserweight champ. I think his call to get a big HW fight isn't too far fetched.
i think part of the problem was Vlad having a hard time with haye's queer limey accent and not being able to respond cuz of him taking a while to process everything, not lending itself to quick comebacks
Also too bad there is not video of Vitali grabbing haye by the throat and throwing him to the ground when he tried the same shit to Vitali just as i predicted. Vitali doesn't **** around, i bet haye's eyes teared up from embarrassment and a wounded ego
Well, I'll agree that the excitement is needed but don't like the whole severed head crap or the "Mr. Haye" jargon. At this time, I'll just agree to disagree. Did ya want to make a wager on the fight if it comes off? I'm down for 10k.
Sure stick it in your sig.
Yeah.. the one that bar some highly dubious judging would have just lost to another cruiser-to-heavy now in his mid forties, with neither Haye's speed nor his power. Hardly a convincing argument.
I think the difference is Holyfield is a top 10 ATG HW, though admittedly far past his best. Haye is well ..... hard to say until he fights someone with a pulse.
Holyfield fought 6 top HWs before he got a title shot BTW.
Fine a55 broad on the avi like usual.
I agree that Haye is a good thing for heavyweight boxing bro. I just think that he is blowing smoke up everyones a55. Yea, I respect him for facing Vitali instead of Wlad, but he could have gone about it another way. The Klitschko's have been nothing but respectful of the boxing world and are a breath of fresh air. In my opinion, you don't have to be brash like Ali or Tyson to earn fans. All you have to do is keep knocking motherf*ckers out and they will eventually follow you*. See Lennox Lewis for a recent example.
*On second thought, you may just have to have a big mouth or be black.
People act like Haye hasn't shown the Klitschko's brothers any respect whatsoever. It is not true.
*Haye recognises that Vitali and Wlad are the two best Heavyweights in the world. That's respectful IMO.
*Haye recognises that if Vitali hits him flush on the chin, he's a goner! That's respectful IMO.
Haye is intelligent and respectful about Wlad and Haye in most interviews. He needs to stir shit and put irons in the fire to make things happen. I for one don't have a problem with it! it makes for good viewing and the spotlight is on Wlad now more then it has ever been. No one can dent that.
I respect that Haye isn't everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine but neither is Wlad. His fights are boring as hell because he's fighting in a division full of shit fighters.
Lets enjoy it while it last because if Haye doesn't win against Vitali then Wlad will have to go back to fight the Hashim Rahman and Samuel Peters again and no one wants to see that shit every three months.
The Heavyweight division needs Haye! Whatever way you look at it, He's good for that division.
Just enjoy it, you know you are!
haye has big cojones man, he has a certain style and cockiness that makes you want to watch him as well. love the way that vlad continued to say behave yourself he sounded like a headmaster!!
with all due respect to haye it is slightly disrespectful of him to think hes entitled to a HW shot straight away, he should at least have fought 2/3 HW's like toney/thompson or povetkin or dimitrenko before taking on vlad.
but im bnot complaining hes given the out with vitali some much needed spice
Being cruiserweight champ really has no bearing in the heavyweight division IMO. Being champ of a smaller weight may mean something in the lower divisions but in the heavyweight division, where one of the champs is 300 pounds, all bets are off.
Yeah.. the one that bar some highly dubious judging would have just lost to another cruiser-to-heavy now in his mid forties, with neither Haye's speed nor his power. Hardly a convincing argument.
wtf!!!kinda dog is that in your sig???
One that's raided Shane Mosley's bin. lol
It has some kind of rare condition that makes it's muscles grow, don't know what it's called.
who knows, that the best thing about the HW division, the fact that anyone can ko anyone. these are 220+ lbs fighters with power on both hands. Stating that haye doesn't have a chance is a bit overboard, but stating that Vitali and Wladimir are FAR BEYOND the talent anything Haye has ever beaten is ok to say
I never said he doesn't stand a chance, I said his chances are slim. Vitali has an iron chin and unlike his bro isn't saftety first. He'll not be afraid to let his hands go and Haye leaves his hands low. Haye's getting KTFO unfortunately.
