Haye isn't lying..

[feed-the-goat]

Haye isn't lying..

hes not lying but here lies the problem, only bums from america will fight in uk, the elite don't francy it for some reason they believe they are too good to get on a plane. The elite in America won't fight up n coming good Brits as the tv stations won't sanction the elite fighting unknown and un proven fighters. Plus how many elite european fighters are there. So who are the Brits suppose to fight?

[MikeTysonJr]

He's right look at joe he is the most overrated fighter in boxing because he beat jeff lacy... JEFF LACY...

[THe TRiNiTY]

People call people overrated.. like it's the fighters fault.. People overrate them. As far as what haye said.. He's right.. He's fighting Mormeck as far as I know.. so, that's good.

Well most of the quality fighters reside in America so it only makes sense that Brits come over here.. It makes no sense to travel all the way to England when you can fly to any other country also, there's nothing special about Britain..

[medium-deek]

"bums". Thats an American term that. Seeing it used a lot more often in the UK.

[rooq]

he's spot on. the level of competition somewhere like america is much higher than in the uk, so fighting british journeymen for the first couple of years of your career is not ideal preparation for stepping up to world or even euro title level.

haye is one of the few uk boxers who has taken risks to work his way up the rankings more quickly.

[col Blake]

did'nt fight a bum when he was destroyed in 5 rounds by a very old Carl Thompson, Haye might have a Khan chin, good fight with Macca in the future if Mahony and Wank Warren can sit down with out fighting each other and get it on money on Macca then a fight with Bell.

[eazy_mas]

well that also goes for the Americans too.

remeber in the MW golden era in the 90s

you got James Toney, Roy Jones, Micheal Nunn, Gerald McClean, Mike McCaullum vs guy from britian Nigel Benn, Watson, Collins, Calzaghe, Eubank.

none of the wanted to risk to face the other or because of the bussiness issue and managment for what ever the reason Haye makes it as if many britian are not taking the chance but the matter of fact business first in making any fight
