    Tony Thompson dropped Haye in sparring?

    rumors are that Haye got dropped in sparring not too long ago.

    Tony Thompson was the best of Haye's sparring partners, so its naturally him that dropped Haye.

    When is Wladimir going to man up and give Thompson a fair rematch(unlike their first fight)?

            I heard Haye fired Kali Meehan as a sparring partner because he kept getting knocked down by him.

            I've always thought that the tough, durable Tony Thompson would rather easily defeat Haye. So it wouldn't surprise me if he knocked down The Gayemaker in sparring.

            To have another shot at Wlad, Thompson needs to become MORE ACTIVE and fight a contender or two.

              Wladimir making him wait almost a full year to fight.

              Inactivity kills.

                you and I both know Im bull****ting, dont start with this 'facts' garbage.

                If Thompson was a big name fighter somehow, I guarentee that people would be making that excuse for him though, and would actually believe it.

                  I do think inactivity has hurt Thompson, but it's his own fault. Goossen isn't like Don King, he doesn't force fighters to be inactive. Thompson could take a fight from time to time if he wanted to.
