Has David Haye Earned His Shot At The Crown?

[Dye]

David Haye Has Done Nothing To Earn His Shot at Either Of The Klitschko Brothers, He Hasn't Really Even Earned a Top Ten Heavyweight Ranking. IMO

It Took Evander Holyfield Over Two Years To Get His Shot At The Title, But He Earned It The Right Way, By Beating The Top Ranked Heavyweights. Haye's only Fights At Heavyweight Were Agianst An unknown In Tomasz Bonin And a Former Contender in Monte Barrett.

Haye And All His Fans Need To Stop Complaining About What's In the Contract And Just Be ThankFul That He Got to Jump Ahead Of Guys Who Have Rightfully Earned And Waited Years To Get Their Title Shot.

And Please, Keep This Thread Free Of Ignorant And Pointless Immature Replies.

Haye was undisputed and 'The Ring' cruiserweight champ; that's enough for a shot at the HW title, particularly as that division isn't exactly full of stellar contenders at the moment. I'm not sure where this weird idea it's necessary to start from scratch 'at heavyweight' as if that is somehow vastly different from moving between any other two divisions actually comes from, it's complete bull****.

Add to that a certain gift for self promotion, and ability to earn truckloads of cash more for team Klitschko than they could get fighting any of those you consider more 'worthy', of course he's earned his shot. It's up to him to do something with it.

The question should be Has Wlad Klitschko Earned His Title? and the answer is no.

Easily.

He was the Undisputed Cruiserweight Champ, so he stepped up a weight to fight the best there.

Calzaghe was the Undisputed Super-Middleweight Champ, so he stepped up a weight to fight the best there (Hopkins).

Hatton was the Undisputed Light-Welterweight Champ, so he stepped up a weight to fight the best there (Mayweather).

There's endless stories like this, and noone complains about Calzaghe and Hatton gaining their shots.

Hypejob Haye talked his way into a title shot, he didn't earn it.

Wlad_owns!

would you care to elaborate?

[Kris Silver]

Does Wlad have any significantly bigger threats? Not really.

This is boxing, not the apprentice.

yes of course. he is a unified cruiserweight champ. anyone who unifies any division in boxing should be given the right to step up and challenge the champ of another division without having to build himself up again.

watching champions face each other is what boxing fans want most and fans are what dictate boxing. something haye understands but wladimir doesn't.
