Haye needs the Klitschkos
Man up and fight Vitali or take the July 2nd fight with Wladimir. He is in a rush to retire so he can avoid fighting tough competition and retire as a champion. With the belt, he will continue to say that he is a great fighter. Haye will come back to boxing when he sees the Klitschko's continue to win and no one caring about his weak career. He is nothing without the belt. Wladimir wants to fight him in July two months after the fight with Chisora because he knows Haye is no competition. How is he a coward?
Negotiations
The Klitschko's deserve to get the better of the negotiations. They have more more fights and have been dominating the division for a long time. They have been fought big names. Who has David Haye fought? He just happens to be a champion after beating bum ass Valuev. Haye better fight a Klitschko before he retires and Mayweather better fight Pacquiao before he retires or the criticism on their careers will never end.
The main things that Ruslan needs to improve on are cutting off the ring and MOVING HIS HEAD. He should also keep his hands up better is he is going to constantly pressure his opponent.
Can't do it again
Marquez knows that he takes a chance of losing legitimately to Pacquiao if he fights him again (he always claims he gets robbed in his losses). I know there were some debateable wins from Pacquiao in the past, but Marquez was getting his ass kicked before the stoppage in fight four. He wants to take the KO win and run. He knows he may lose, he know he may take a beating (his nose was badly broken in the 4th fight), and he knows he can't duplicate the KO. He came in looking like a linebacker and dropped and stopped Pacquiao, which he never did before. He also worked with a former drug cheat. That KO seems suspicious to me and cannot be duplicated unless he comes in as a linebacker again. I can't say Marquez cheated definitely because he seems like an honorable fighter, but some things looked suspicious to me
Making money
Doing business with a coward will make money because everyone wants to see the coward fight Pacquiao. Margarito is old news, lets talk about who Floyd is ducking today. He is ducking Manny Pacquiao to protect his zero in the loss column. People need to stop paying for PPV matches with weak opponents and then Floyd will choose some better competition. He only fought Canelo because the Guerrero numbers were horrible. The Canelo win was a good win, but he took the fight because he could take Canelo. He does not want to risk losing against Manny. He has more than enough skill to win and most likely will, but he still won't sign the contract. He continues to talk badly about Manny and won't fight. This is a huge money fight against a supposedly "weak" opponent. Why won't Floyd take it? He is "Money Mayweather" right. First the drug tests, then the money, and now Bob Arum. Manny was with Bob Arum ever since Floyd was making problems about the money and testing. Now that Manny agreed to take less money and take the tests, now Floyd won't do business with Bob. People need to stop focusing on the undefeated record and look at what is really happening. He is just looking to stay undefeated by choosing the right fights. Ali, Leonard, Hagler, Duran, Ray Robinson, Frazier, the list goes on and on....would never duck and dodge. Manny was knocked out because he continues to step up to the plate and take tough fights, unlike Floyd
This fight should have happened in 2009 when Manny was in his prime, but Floyd made it difficult and he continues to make excuses. If he does not fight Manny, he will be ridiculed for ducking. Manny is the second biggest name in the sport and this fight would be the richest in the history of boxing. Floyd tries to make Manny look irrelevant because he had back to back losses, but he will consider Khan who was stopped by Garcia and Peterson and who looked horrible against no name opposition. Manny is a bigger name and better than anyone Mayweather can choose but he makes Manny look irrelevant to avoid the fight. Mayweather will do anything to protect his undefeated record because all of his marketability is tied to it. First the steroids, then the money, and now Bob Arum. Manny said he will take all the tests and will take less money, so stop ducking Floyd
Tune Up?
Floyd always talks about how great he is and how he can beat Pacquiao easily. If he can beat him so easily, why does he need a tune up? Sugar Ray Leonard fought Hagler without a tune up and he was away for a longer period of time than Floyd. He was at the Ortiz/Berto fight looking for his tune up. If Pacquiao took a loss recently or started looking like trash in the ring, Floyd would fight him in the very near future. He is doing anything to protect that zero in the loss column. When will he fight Pacquiao? Is he going to disappear again after the tune up. If he does then that defeats the purpose of the tune up. He needs to fight a tune up as soon as possible and then fight Pacquiao in late 2011. The tune up oppenent can't be a pushover either. The opponent has to be respectable if Floyd says he is the best. Ortiz looks like the most likely oppenent because I can't think of anyone else who is on the come up in the 147 division and has a recognizable name. Floyd will not pay the sanctioning fee for Ortiz's belt because he does not want to be forced to defend it and he does not want his opponents to be chosen. Anything to protect his undefeated record. Shameful. Pacquiao is a real champion because he remains active, fights anyone, and continues to win. Floyd thinks being undefeated can stand alone. Fighters have lost before and still have been regarded as great. You cannot be regarded as great if you duck opponents. All the PED controversy that Floyd started about Pacquiao was just pure jealousy. Floyd did not want the public to believe that any other fighter could be better and achieve more than him so he tried to damage his reputation
floyd will fight khan next and say that the lopez win was very impressive. He will he beat a guy who beat a tough competitor in victor ortiz and showed great heart in his losses. smh
Bradley is dreaming
Bradley will not even get a shot at Mayweather. He will not be able to beat Khan, which is a fight that he must win in order to get a shot at the big names. Floyd's defense, movement, and combinations will allow him to avoid being hit by Bradley and counter all night. He is also faster than Bradley and hits harder. He has more knockouts than Bradley. It will be an embarassing fight for Bradley. Bradley wins a horrible fight against Alexander and feels that he can beat Mayweather? Bradley just charges forward looking for a big shot. Mayweather will hit him at will and Bradley's style will make his punches very obvious to Mayweather and easy to avoid. I am getting tired of these fighters that want big fights for the money and fame and have not yet proved themselves.
Duck?
Really Richard Schaefer? Guerrero is ducking Thurman but Mayweather is not ducking Pacquiao though right? I guess you have to kiss Floyd's ass for business purposes.
Bradley is a coward
Bradley is trying to talk tough now, but he was caught on tape saying that the reason he did not fight Khan is because he thought he would lose a shot at Pacquiao if he lost to him. This confidence about beating Khan is BS. He is using the same "I don't need him" coward line that Mayweather uses for Pacquiao. It will be a travesty if Bradley gets a shot at Pacquiao. He has not beaten anyone to earn a shot like that and he has not been active. Avoiding loses should not put you in line for huge fights. Bradley style is not exciting at all. He just plods forward and throws looping shots. He would get destroyed by a skilled boxer with fast and devastating punches like Pacquiao. I do not want to see him fight at all. It won't even take someone on Pacquiao's level to beat Bradley. He is not an elite fighter and is one dimensional
Career setback
Wow. Fighting an all defensive fight against Pacquiao really hurt Clottey. He earned respect as a fighter and now he won't even be televised. He threw away the biggest fight of his career and now he is paying for it. He is going to have to win a few fights convincingly to get people to support him again. He should have taken more chances against Paquiao because he landed some good shots on him and was capable of hurting Pacquiao. Even if he got knocked out, he would have been given more respect.
go ahead and retire!
David Haye has done nothing. The only thing that he can say is that he won the belt from that bum Valuev. He is the ***** that backed out of the fight with both Klitschko's. He also said he does not want to fight Vitali because he hits too hard. He was saying the he wanted to fight both Klitschko's. What happened? Haye is the coward, not Klitschko. Klitschko knows he can easily beat him and has no problem taking a fight two months before. Haye should jump at that opportunity, but he continues to complain.
Mayweather?
Bradley has no chance of beating Mayweather. Mayweather is too skillful for him. He should at least get through Khan before he calls out Mayweather. These guys are so desperate for big names when they know they are not ready. I don't think he can get through Khan. Khan will out box him just like Mayweather. Bradley just comes forward and tries to bully his opponents. Mayweather should only fight Pacquiao and should not look to give fighters a step up to the big time.
All these excuses about weight. Andre Ward is the better fighter period. He complained about weight and then he went back to his natural weight where he was champion and got stopped in one round. Dawson talks about going to another guy's backyard, but that means nothing when you get knocked out. That is only relevant when it goes to the judges. Dawson was flabby and out of shape in his last fight. He needs to get it together.
Why does he want this fight? I know he is looking for another belt. He should not be able to compete for Cotto's 160 pound belt at a catchweight of 150
Liar
Solis get nothing out of lying about Alvarez beating him up, so I doubt he is lying. Alvarez is just saying his brother did it because he has more to lose than his brother.
Hand Picked Opponents
Mayweather and Ellerbe really try to hype up handpicked opponents. They know Maidana is too sloppy to win, but they use his win over Broner to justify. Broner is a hype job that has not beaten any real fighters yet
Lmao
Haye said that the Klitschko's should knock down his door if they want a real challenge? He was already beaten by Vitali and fought scared so why they need him and why would anyone want to see that. They say Vitali has a better chin and is stronger than Wladimir so how is Haye going to beat Vitali if he cannot beat Wladimir? Haye is all talk and his career has been a joke. His only "claim to fame" is the heavyweight belt he got off of that stiff Valuev. He had most of his success in the cruiserweight division, which no one cares about. He fought like a chump in the biggest fight of his life. The Klitschkos definitely do not need him. They have all the belts and continue to win. Their is no reason for them to waste time fighting clowns like Haye. There is no money or respect to be gained from that.
No Contest
When refs and judges mess up or when fighters cheat, the decision should be changed to a no contest. It is unfair to get a horrible decision, an incompetent ref, or fight a fighter who is using steroids or loaded gloves and have the loss remain on your record.
Another Floyd fanboy comment. No one even brought up the possibility of Pacquiao using steroids until Mayweather used it as an excuse to avoid fighting Manny in his prime. Manny didn't take the tests because he should not have to submit to testing because Mayweather does not want to risk his undefeated record. Pacquiao was never caught with anything. People say he walked through big fighters, but all of those wins, except for Hatton, were late stoppages. He beat those guys with superior speed and angles. Pacquiao always had power and brought it up throught the weight classes with him. If you keep landing multiple punches on a guy, he will eventually fall. Just because a guy is big does not make him invincible. Pacquiao was skillful enough to hit these guys at will. Steroids cannot give you accuracy. People also want to say he avoided the drug test because of a fear of needles but has tattoos. Last time I checked, tattoo needles don't draw blood. He was worried about giving blood because he is superstitious and lost to Morales when gave blood. Bottom line is that Mayweather is ducking and tried to destroy Manny's reputation as an excuse. All of Mayweather's idiot fans support anything he says, whether is has basis or not. Mayweather also came up from a light weight class and dominated. Is he on the juice too???
This is not a middleweight fight and the 154 pound belt should not be at stake. If Floyd does not want to fight at 154, he should vacate or be stripped. It is Leonard Ellerbe's job that say whatever will show Floyd that he is kissing his ass so he can stay on the payroll
Finally
David Haye has been avoiding both Klitschko's and now he wants to talk tough. I guess he finally feels that he is ready. He will still get destroyed though. He can get sloppy and the Klitschko's will take advantage of that. He needs to fight at least one for anyone to give a damn about his career.
About time for the big fight......
Are they trying to protect Alvarez. It is about time that he fights a big name. He keeps fighting guys that are not on his level. Gomez? Mayorga? C'mon. Mayorga is a bum and keeps talking loud to get fights. He cannot beat any talented fighters.
Gamboa is not going to beat any quality opponents until he learns to keep his hands up, bring his punches back faster, and stop throwing loopy shots. He gets dropped too often because he leaves himself exposed.
Calm down Khan
Khan is talking like his fiht with Maidana was the fight of the century. The only reason why that fight was do dramatic was because he made stupid mistakes like backing straight up with his chin out and let Maidana smack him around. Alexander didn't fight scared. He tried. Bradley just landed the cleaner and harder shots.
Brook does not deserve a shot but Ortiz and Guerrero did when they beat Berto? Maidana did when he beat Broner. He must see something in Brook that he does not feel comfortable with. Brook would be a better choice than Khan
