    I don't particularly like Haye, but with the Klitschkos headlock on heavyweight boxing we NEED someone who's a bit of a talker, a bit of a clown and Haye is that guy.

    Personally I don't think Haye will win, Valuev will land at some point and then Haye is doomed, doomed i say!

    but as for British boxing, yes it's at a low now, but James Degale, Kell brook and Nathan Cleverly are on the way and at least one of them will be the goods

      1 - haye aint **** compared with either of the title holding bros.

      2 - valuev is managed by don "******* of boxing" king

      3 - haye would run his mouth even more. and, most neutral intelligent fight fans dont like that too much - if u want dramatic interviews, watch wwe.

      4 - neither haye nor valuev have been wanting to fight a klitschko, no matter if they say they would.

      so, this match is a stalemate boxing-wise.

      if the giant wins, that doesnt mean he will then fight a K bro. if haye wins, that also doesnt mean that he will fight a k bro. it doesnt really matter.

      personally, i think valuev vs a k bro might be a more interesting fight for real fans, while haye vs a k bro might be more interesting for wwe-style fans.

      edit: btw, i dont know why people think of haye as a major contender. doesnt he have to prove something? and, right now, i am doubting that haye dispatches of the giant so quickly as the third round.

      remember, every vitali opponent says the same damn thing, but nobody yet has even put him down let alone made him look vulnerable. it is a different thing to be in the ring against a fully resisting opponent than it is to talk about fighting one.

      I think most real boxing fans are bored stiff of the current h/w champions, not as fighters but as personalities or lack thereof.

      Haye may not have done much at h/w to deserve a shot, but then what has Kevin Johnson done? what had Chris Areolla done? what had John Ruiz done?

      At least 12 months ago Haye was ud cruiserweight champion.

      I don't like Haye but you are talking out of your ass on some of those points

        I'm going to be rooting for Valuev, even though I don't especially like him.

        Haye is an ******* who deserves the worst, and having a loud-mouthed, hateful fraud like that as WBA titleholder cannot possibly be good for boxing.

        It will be poet's justice if Haye gets stopped on Nov 7. No one in the history of boxing ever deserved to be KOed more than he.

            Haye has got people talking and showing an interest in the Heavyweight division again. Fact!

            Haye holds the WBA belt after he beats Valuev and the Klitschko brothers hold the other belts.

            All roads lead to a very big fight between a Brit and one of the Ukrainians, Preferably Wladimir.

              to be honest regardless of how this fight goes its going to shake up the division in a big way

              if haye wins then he has a legitimate right to call out both the klits and both of them, especially vitali, would be keen to beat him to get another belt

              if valuev wins then it will be the first proper 'glamour fight' he's won and it will be just a case of which klitschko bro ihe fights in his next fight

              cant decide what would be more interesting vitali v valuev or vitali v haye

                  Haye talks ****, agrees to fight, talks ****, and then backs out of fights, and then talks more ****. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck him. I hope he gets the dog **** beat out of him.

                      Honestly does anyone want to see Valuev frustrate Haye to a boring decision?

                      If Haye wins, The UK has somebody to back... and the Heavyweight division has something interesting to talk about for a change, however long it lasts

                      If Valuev wins, things stay as they were...

                      Haye might not be anything special, but his presence alone is bringing interest to the sport from this side of the pond.
                      aye travis...nice pic..exile on main street...awesome album.....anyways yea i agree mate...i hope haye really does win because hes charismatic outside the ring, knows how to throw insults, unlike the goofy dumb giant
