David Haye vs. Oleg Maskaev on BoxRec now

[Pugilistic™]

He said he was going to fight a top ten heavyweight.

Neither BoxRec and IBO, which go by computerized objective rankings, have Maskaev in their top ten.

Maskeav's has a bad back, he's old and slow. Haye is in his 20s. He's a coward for fighting an shot old boxer.

no fighter in the world is a coward, you only dislike Haye because he is a potential threat to the heavyweight champ klitschko.

Good choice and good fight for David Haye.

Maskaev former WBC World Champion. I think Haye will win by Knockout and then fight against Wladimir Klitschko.

No, he's not really any threat to Wlad.

I just dislike him because he's a braggart, a loud-mouth, and a fudge-packer, and now he shows he's a phony, by choosing the easiest possible opponent, a shot old fighter in his 40th year, who's had serious injuries and hasn't won since 2006.

thats why i said potential, personally i think wlad knocks him out.

This would be a decent HW test for Haye. Oleg can still punch but that's all. He might last long enough to give Haye a run for his money and a chance to look good in his HW debut.

I would cry laughing if gaymaker somehow lost, he's a coward for picking a 40 year old shot fighter who should be retired right now.

The Ring ratings which a lot of people regard as being THE ratings to go by rate Maskaev as 7th! So Haye is living up to his word by fighting a top ten ranked heavyweight. Maskaev is the former WBC champion, I think thats a decent opponent for his second heavyweight fight. Calm down with the coward stuff because he's gonna whip your boys ass!!

I see BoxRec has David Haye scheduled to fight Oleg Maskaev. I realize BoxRec isn't perfect, but it is reliable most of the time...

Haye is a coward for choosing an old shot fighter. Oleg is in his 40th year, has fought only once in the past two years, and has had serious back injuries. He looked very old and slow against Peter.

He isn't fast enough to have a chance of evading Haye's punches. Haye said he wanted to face a top 10 heavyweight - I don't care what the ratings say, Maskaev isn't top 50 anymore.

Dont worry, he'll knock Wlad out soon enough.

[MWMerlino]

He needs to start somewhere. You can hate on him all you want but it's his fight after Maskaev that really matters. This is a good introduction for him.

This would be a good first fight but boxrec is often wrong.
