David Haye Plans To Spar With MMA Fighters For Valuev

[NakiFan]

If Team haye was inept then how did they get a world title shot, while guys like chambers and povetkin cant get a good fight for ****?

Haye would do more harm than good if he does that. The only MMA heavyweights that have decent to great stand up are Kongo, Arlovski, and thats about it. Otherwise he will spar with guys who throw haymakers all day.

I dont watch Valuev but I would believe he doesn't throw wild arching punches. Or am I wrong?

[NakiFan]

I wouldnt call what valuev throws "punches"

He tends to just hurl those giant slabs of meat at you!

Awesome. Bring on the gym battle of Haye vs Hong Man Choi!!!

Lmao I don't get this either. Haye would just demolish MMA when sparring, he's 3 time world champion. Haye is just create some PR on the MMA world.

Lol Valuev would be good in mma, imagine him laying on you, all sweaty and hairy, id submit instantly and run to the showers!

Valuev would only be able to compete in Asia as the heavyweight limit in the US and most places around the world is 265lbs.

I'd love to see how long Haye would last against a leggy beast like Bonjasky.

(****, that last part sounded almost ****...)

How could you forget Alistair Overeem???

David Haye, 28, is hoping to overcome his height disadvantage by sparring with MMA monsters ahead of his November showdown with Nikolai Valuev. [details]

I don't see that sparring with opponents of ANY size will help. They would basically be amateurs as far as BOXING goes.

And I think that the report isn't correct-Haye isn't any more than
6'2-3", not 6'5".
