David Haye moved to Heavyweight to avoid losing the title to Steve Cunningham.

[Stormin' Norman]

you are blind to the style clash and how cunningham's completely disadvantages haye's, but whatever.

I notice it's almost primarily limeys who object.

[Stormin' Norman]

No one in the US is interested in Cunnigham, hence him fighting overseas, he's not box office, and never will be. Why should Haye bother?

exactly...thank you...

the risk isn't worth the reward

he has to go overseas, nobody is man enough to fight him...he doesnt have enough draw because he likes to stink the place up (although effectively) and makes everyone he fights look bad.

So what is he going to earn if he beat Steve C. I think a fight with Wlad is better and will provide him a better legacy than a fight with Steve C.(just my opinion) You're acting like Haye is ducking Cunningham.

styles make fights, why don't you direct your hatred and insults elsewhere. That's what ignorant people do, anyways...insult people, etc.

you need to understand that styles make fights, and cunningham's style is a nightmare for haye.


It cracks me up when these mma fans think they know something about boxing, lemme be the first to tell you- Boy you don't know a goddamn thing about Boxing!

haha. what an assumption. I just got into MMA about 2 years ago. I've been a boxing fan for over 15 years. My avatar is to support my favorite mma fighter who use to workout at the same gym as me and I met him a couple of times. Don't talk if you don't know.

I said you don't know boxing cuz you said cunningham would beat haye. thats not even a close matchup. if cunningham didn't have that belt, no one would even know who he is.

and you are talking about styles? cunninghams style is a perfect match for haye cuz cunn has no power and not even a solid jab. that fits perfectly with haye cuz he likes to keep his hands low to reel his opponents in for his haymakers. go watch a couple of fights of cunningham and then come back and give your analysations.

[sarlick]

big mac should fight cunningham i reckon he will win but haye would destory him

[rooq]

haye's been talking about moving up to hw since before cunningham even won his paper title.

he stayed down for one more fight after winning the linear title against mormeck...something he didn't have to do.

if he's only planning on boxing for another two and a half years, and he's determined on becoming a heavyweight world champion, why the hell would he bother defending against an american who can't even attract enough fans to defend his title in the states?

just the idea that haye is ducking cunningham by putting his chin on the line and fighting heavyweights is

Yh everyones ducking Steve Cunningham, well you have just proved how biased you are. Haye would blow him out early and don't come here with this only-limeys-disagree bull****! I dont care where Haye is from he is the best at cruiser and thats that

[Horus]

That's right...Cunningham would school Haye, he would identify the angle of his two right hand punches and pepper his way to a unanimous decision, Haye knew this, so what better to do than beating up on Maca and running away to Heavyweight? Where he'll have to wait a year to fight again, and it'll be against some ****ty HW like Joe Mesi (who'll probably take his overrated ass out)

It's not cool to win the title, then duck your mandatory like that. That's almost as bad as when Tyson ducked Foreman, for ****s sake.
