Comments Thread For: Haye Fires Venom at Wladimir Klitschko, German Boxing

I wonder if Eddie Chambers has had to sign a 3 fight contract with The Klits like they wanted Haye to do? Haye would knock Chambers out in 5 rounds.

Lol, Haye has absolutely zero chance against Chambers. Try watching the guy before you talk about him.

Ignorant statement.

How are they cherry picking opponents when they're fighting mandatories and top contenders? Well, Kelly Pavlik defended against Gary Lockett and Marco Antonio Rubio. Both guys were mandatories and top contenders. Both guys were cherries. So the two things are compatible.

They were mandatories but they were not top contenders, especially not Lockett, who was ranked #50 by boxrec at the time and wasn't rated higher than that in any independent rankings.

If you call it cherry picking to fight two men in a row whom most reputable independent rankings have among the top 3 contenders then you simply don't know what "cherry picking" means. What's he supposed to do - retire because there aren't any real threats available for him to fight? He's fighting the best opposition available to him, (given that two brothers can't be expected to fight each other for money), which is the exact opposite of cherry picking.
