David Haye: "Barrett's Punches Will Bounce off My Chin"

[The Surgeon]

I dont think Haye will KO Barrett at round 3, but Barrett can send Haye to dreamland in round 7.

Im picking David Haye but im well aware Barrett could derail the Haye Express with some of those Bombs that Dropped and Stopped Tye with!

Whoever goes tho i dont think it lasts as long as that, 5 rds max id say.



Fancy a bet on the fight?

Do you think that David Haye is the second coming of Michael Spinks?
Does he have the pure boxing skills and ring generalship to make it big-even in today's heavyweight division?

He aint Half as slick as he thinks he is but can win the right fights at HW and even the ones he cant win he will bring entertainment too

thats the most realistic interview haye has ever conducted

Agreed...unbelievable that it was him who said that it makes no sense to challenge Wlad if he can't win against Barrett. The pressure on him must be immense at this point. He said that he retires if he doesn't win the fight...that's crazy, he's young and has a lot potential. I don't like him, because he has a big mouth, but he's definitely a classy fighter.

ironic based on Ray Austin's recent performances and Ibragimov,Thompson

Wlad has fought 3 straight bums

Those bums that Klitschko only turned out to be "bums" after Klitschko beat them so easily. Until then they were highly respected heavyweight contenders or champions.

Austin was 24-3 and the #1 contender, his losing fights were his 1st, which was a four rounder, a 6 rounder, and his 1st 10 rounder, all early in his career.

Thompson had lost only 1 fight and was #1 contender.

Both of these guys were 6' 6" and highly respected.

Ibragimov was the WBO Champ and unbeaten.

So....................THINK before you jump in with your mouth wide open.......you could drown.

Ibragimov, who held a world title and won a Silver Medal at the 2000 Olympics, is far from being a bum. Wlad's fight with Sultan was a heavyweight unification.

Thompson was Wladimir's WBO mandatory and is actually a very good fighter. He wanted to be Haye's opponent and was ducked!

Austin was Wlad's IBF mandatory. He's shot now after 1 1/2 years of inactivity, but he was actually more of a fringe contender/journeyman than a real bum. He had draws with a couple of decent fighters.

Bonin, who was KOed by Fraudley Harrison, is a clearly a bum.

I wish I'd read your letter before replying. Clearly, we have the same opinion.

[Allucard]

Haye is good for boxing but him alone can't change **** and for every Haye who won't (apparently) make us waste our money waiting for a meaningful fight there are 10 undefeated crap prospects who will make you wait till they are 30 until they have a meaningful fight.

its whats behind the numbers

how many fighters do you think ive seen with unbeaten records that fight like they could not fight their way out of a wet paper bag and leave you thining how on earth has this guy got an unbeaten record

its who you have beat not how many you have beat

[Mr. Ryan]

Not what I wanted to hear but OK. He shouldn't worry about trying to be too tough, just get the win.

[STEELHEAD]

Former undisputed cruiserweight champion David Haye has promised to show the boxing public on November 15 that his chin is better than many think. Haye will face ranked heavyweight Monte "Two Gunz" Barrett at Greenwich’s 02 Arena in London. Because Haye was dropped and rocked a few times at the cruiserweight level, many experts believe that he's going to struggle against hard punching heavyweights. Haye believes his chin will take Barrett's punches. [details]

auhhhh no.
haye was doing so good.
with all previous rational statements about barrett.
now he's back with the narcistic leader of the master hvwt clowns
persona.
i put this loud mouth down because of that but have hope he can pull it off to being a top contender in this weak hvwt circus.
he needs to do like khan and get away from the regional meathooks. and train with real proffesional trainers!
just hope he breaks away from being a hyped regional brit fighter to being world a class boxer.
