    People who are mildly ******ed need a lot of certainty in their lives.

    They understand "will be" or "won't be", but something like "will likely be" is too complicated for them.

      I think I'm going to have to pick Barrett in this. Good chin, solid skillset. I'll have to think about this one awhile, it could be a bad styles matchup for Haye.

        Boxingscene has been running the same story for 2-3 weeks now, just worded differently. The stories have ran like this: "Haye is announcing his opponent," "Haye has choose so and so as an opponent, "Haye might choose an opponent today" "The Haymaker thought about choosing an opponent".....

        What's the point of running all these b.s. stories? When the deal is signed and done, run the story...

        Oh, but I forgot Tunney, you like wasting 99% of your life here on boxingscene, so reading these 'non-stories' is not a big deal for ya...

          All this hype for a guy who's not even that great. I think he has the potential to be a nice heavyweight with his speed and power. And he's a breath of fresh air in the sense that he's a big personality. Still you'd think he was Evander Holyfield the way people are hyping him up. We might all be laughing at this in a years time.

            We will be.

            Haye is going to end up gettin' KOd at Heavyweight. I would also say it will be a pretty spectacular KO as well

              I think Barrett vs. Haye will be a good fight that ends in a spectacular KO! I hope there's some way we folks on this side of the Atlantic can watch it live.

              Barrett's a decent heavyweight and the ideal gatekeeper. If Haye wins this fight, he'll have proven himself as a heavyweight contender.

                I agree with this post. Barret is a good gatekeeper and will be a very good test for Haye. I hope this fight ends up getting made.

                  Showtime might pick it up, they had Haye-Macca so they might get it, if not I am sure you will be able to get a Stream for it. I think Haye should get past Barrett, but Barrett has some power (Has a little KO streak recently, if I remember correctly) so he has a chance.

                  Should be pretty good imo. After this, I hope he fights someone like Chambers. To prove he deserves to be in the World Title league.

                    I got Barrett by brutal KO. Maybe then, The Gaye will give me a rematch.
