    If we are talking heavyweights, where is the evidence that Haye is more exciting than Wlad and Vitali? He's hardly fought anyone, and when he has, he hasn't looked very good. Some Klitschko fights are better than others, just like some Lennox fights were better than others (the title fight with Tua was hardly a classic, as far as that goes). Lennox quite often got criticized for being "boring." So do "The Klitschkos," though they are two different fighters with two different styles.

    We'll see tomorrow how exciting Haye is. He'd better come out and spark Ruiz big-time. If he struggles, he will become indefensible.

      Hatton was one of the dirtiest fighters around, as evident from the Tszyu fight, he shouldn't be talking ****.

        I'm sure you'll agree, but I doubt race entered Ricky's mind, he was just backing a Brit fighter like most Brits do. Haye always backed Hatton too, he was raging at Cortez after the Mayweather fight. As an aside, Haye's mother is white, which kind of shows the folly of all this race stuff.

          Of course it did not enter Ricky's mind. But it did Carnivore's.

          Ricky's favorite fighter is Roberto Duran if I'm not mistaken. And given Ricky likes to come forward blasting away...who is closer to that...David or Wlad?

          Haye will go for the knockout for sure if he can. Wlad doesn't always. So I understood exactly what Ricky was getting at. He prefers a certain style more. And absolutely Ricky is supporting his friend and countryman David Haye.

          And even Haye...most of his talk is just for play. Why some don't get that...different sense of humor and way of thinking I guess.

            If you really do like Joe Louis, then why not change your username to something like Joe Louis? I'll donate you the points to do it, but of course you won't. We both know why you like Benny Leonard, so there's no point in wasting time discussing it. You are extremely ethnocentric and racist.

              Exactly, Hatton was supporting his countryman Haye. Sadly, Benny Leonard is 100% focused on race.

              No, it didn't until YOU BROUGHT IT INTO THE DISCUSSION.

                I don't know how to

                Benny Leonard has been there from the start. I used it after I read a funny article about him. I told you this story before. I needed a name and that was fresh in my mind. Easy to remember.

                Considering I put Joe Louis and Ali as a tie for the top spot as HW Champions...and Sugar Ray Robinson as the best P4P in history...you have a better case against the "white" thing so you should have stuck with that.


                If I was going to change it...I might go with a Philly fighter like
                Tommy Loughran

                  No idea why people say Vitali is boring. The guy is very dynamic. Wlad's fights can be very tedious however.... but at least they usually end in a devastating KO.

                    You ripped Hatton. You can't take that back.

                    I brought race up because you always message me about race if I say something about a "white" fighter you like...which included Hatton. I guess not now though.

                    When I said Hatton was not "Great" you ripped me for it and disagreed. But now you showed your true colors and ripped Hatton back.

                      Yes, I did. I was angry because his comments about the Klitschkos seemed unnecessary and classless.

                      No, I don't. I've sent you only ONE message, more than a year ago.

                      You brought up race because you're 100% focused on it. As I said to you over a year ago, you should leave those old hatreds behind, give up your racism, and move on to bigger and better things.
