Haye is just talking.. he is in negotiations to fight Travis Walker
Haye is not really that good a figther.. he's exciting but technically flawed. Klitchko will beat the **** out of Haye.

Its going to take more than boxing to beat Klitchko.. ask Chris Byrd. After fighting Klitchko Byrd was never the same. Klitchko is nothing to play with.
Fair enough, but calling out Wlad isn't a crime. Just because Haye hasn't had a meaningful fight at HW. it doesn't mean he can't call out Wlad. What's the problem?
It OK for fighters in the lower weight classes to call out fighters in the divisions above and below them so why ain't it alright to call out the top HW when Haye was only a division below him?
People don't like threats.Comment

Klitschko to give Haye a "lesson in the ring"
Wladimir Klitschko has promised to give David Haye "a lesson in the ring" - if he proves himself at heavyweight level.
Klitschko, 32, defends his WBO and IBF titles against American Tony Thompson, 36, on Saturday in Hamburg.
Cruiserweight king Haye, who has moved up a division, riled the Ukrainian when they met earlier this year and has called the heavyweight scene "a joke".
But Klitschko warned Londoner Haye, 28, that he is in "a line of people who want to fight me".
He added: "When we met he was overloaded with energy, he was aggressive and very offensive - I think we will have to teach him how to behave himself."
The 6ft 6in Klitschko (50-3-44 KOs) faces Thompson five months after taking the WBO crown from Sultan Ibragimov with an uninspiring win in New York.
Washington DC's Thompson (31-1-19 KOs), who measures 6ft 5in, last year claimed the scalp of Ibragimov's cousin, Timor.
Not known as a big puncher, he is a southpaw whose steady but unspectacular style could cause Klitschko problems.
However, the champion said: "I'm right now in my prime time in the sport.
"I've heard before that the beginning of the 30s, mid-30s, is the best time for heavyweights, and now I know it.
"My mental and physical abilities are in their prime and I enjoy (being in the ring) a lot."

i cant see it until maybe this time next year myself, Wlad will make Haye take at least 2 maybe 3 fights before he will face him IMO. i would love to see this happen though, cant really make a prediction until i see how Haye looks at the weight and with decent opposition.Comment

Although Im no Haye fan and wanted Enzo to KO him so bad, Haye is no hype job, he held 3 belts at cruiserweight and took 2 of them in Mormecks backyard, he certainly has the potential to do very well at the currently lacklustre HW division, although i must admit he also has the potential to spectacularly fail. BUT to say someone who has only 1 defeat and held 3 world title belts at his weight and beat his 1st HW opponent with ease (albeit not a real test) is a hype job is incorrect sir.Comment
