yeah, meanwhile vitali was all class. storming around the ring like a gorilla with a dart in his arse, prodding lewis in the arm whilst shouting re-match and pathetically playing to the crowd.
still, this is the guy who tried to attack sanders after he'd smashed wlad.
chambers fought wlad without any coverage in the states. maybe haye needs to focus more on being a fighter than an entertainer. losing a broadcaster is not a good enough excuse to pull out of a fight when your job is to fight.
anyway, i thought he pulled out of the fight with wlad because of an "injury".
haye's paycheck was coming from setanta and setanta only. do you suggest he should of gone ahead with the fight after they went bust and fought for nothing?
Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage.
lulz.
controversial? did you want to see your heroes eye removed from the socket? jesus ****ing christ.
he was robbed in the 1st, if you count to 10 from when benn was knocked down,the 10 count is reached before he gets back in the ring and while he was still unsteady,and he got help from others to get back in the ring,you cant go in the ring and pick someone up when the been put down,why do it outside the ring!.
lol, i can't believe all these years on these bull**** stories are still being spouted.
1- when a boxer is knocked out of the ring he is allowed extra time to make it back in.
2- benn got no help making his way back into the ring. a few hands went up as he was knocked out to stop him falling onto the announcing tables but that is all. he made it back into the ring of his own accord.
now calzaghe was pretty damn quick, but can you imagine how quick he'd look in the ring with froch? would be like something out of benny hill. calzaghe sits in the pocket ala lacy, avoids the nottingham twats big loopy punches all day and proceeds to slap the ever loving crap out of him.
Who? I don't see any. The best middle is Paul Williams. The two best super middles, BY FAR, are Ward and Dirrell.
ten of the twenty fighters that make up the rings top 10 rankings for middle and supermiddle are of european stock.
I think what he said was wrong. But he has a point. The only guys who could possible compete with Vitali and Wlad would be huge NFL/NBA players since they wouldn't face a huge size disadvantage
you're too hooked on size. how many atg super heavies have we seen? lennox, that's it. wlad is borderline and if he carries on in his current fashion he'll probably end up a consensus atg, vitali probably doesn't have time on his side to reach those heights. riddick probably falls just short.
then you're into the contenders, paper champs, valuev, tony tucker, bonecrusher smith and doofy champs canera and willard.
the problem with the division is a blatant lack of skill. contenders aren't fighting enough and when they do they're more busy padding their records rather than fighting similarly ranked contenders.
He conveniently snuck out of the CW division just as Adamek was looking dangerous,
are you for real? adamek hadn't scored one win worth a shit by the time haye had beaten enzo and made his intentions clear about moving to heavyweight.
The HW division will never come back as long as the best athletes in the world keep preferring to play in the NBA or the NFL.
this arguement is such shite. if it were the case, then the thriving european middle and super-middleweight divisions wouldn't be in the state they are because all those guys would of instead pursued careers in football.
Admitted to using Prednisone for a kickboxing injury, the same stuff my pops takes to prevent gout. As long as we're keeping our facts straight. :boxing:
your old man is a steroid abuser.
If they want to have the fight in Europe they could at least do themselves a favor by hosting it at Emirates Stadium, the most high tech, state of the art venue in all of England as long as they don't mess up the pitch. ;)
the emirates is a soulless shithole and i'm a season ticket holder.
Say Haye only made 1 million for the first fight and WON!
he stood to make nothing. his one source of income for the fight went bust, what is so hard to understand about that?
