Comments Thread For: Haye's Manager: Let Klitschko Go Fight Povetkin

[The Hammer]

Haye has been wasting everyone's time: the Klitschko brothers, the media, boxing fans.

Oddly, since Wlad called him a *****, he has nothing to say and speaks through his manager.

It's time for everyone to move on and forget about Haye until he decides to be a serious person. If he ever decides to do so.

As of now, Haye is a joker and should be treated as such. He's not a serious individual.

I hate to say any boxer is a coward, but there's definitely something cowardly and slimey about David Haye.

Haye said he wasn't going to fight until late in the year before Wlad called him out. I believe Haye will fight a Klitschko this year but it's going to be Vitali not Wlad.

No, he won't fight a Klitschko this year, nor Adamek (risky pick 'em fight) either.

He'll either fight Valuev again or the winner of Chagaev-Meehan late in the year because both those fights are winnible.

Boxing is a sad sport.Top athletes can duck their peers without any consequences.The only real champs in the HW division are the K brothers.Can anyone imagine Roger Federer saying that he won't play against Nadal?
In tennis a player can play a future by himself,then if he wins that tournament he will move up in his ranking,then he can play challengers,then he can play atp tour tournaments,then he can play super 9, then he can play grand slams and become the best all this by himself and nobody can duck him ever.
Boxing should be like this,if anyone really want to change this sport for better this is the right way to do it.

That's a good point. Even people who don't follow tennis know about Federer versus Nadal. When they face off it is always magic. I watched the match last Sunday and it was electric -- everyone knows what is on the line when they play. It's the kind of event every sport, including boxing, needs the most: the best competing against each other. Events like those create fans for life.

Haye's a typical bully who runs when someone stands up to him.

For all the talking Haye did previously, when Wlad called him for "bitching out" out of fights with he and Vitali, David suddenly developed laryngitis and now speaks through Adam Booth.

This from a guy who previously had the media on speed-dial for every little notion that came to mind.

I used to be a Haye fan.... But Not anymore. I doubt Haye will ever fight a Klitschko, he will most likely fight Audley Harrison and a few other bums and then retire.

[Pullcounter]

Thats it Haye is officially is ducking wlad....

[Dick Buffman]

I don't see how not allowing IBF politics to get in their way means Haye is ducking anyone.


After Klitschko wipes out Povetkin, this fight will happen. Assuming Vitali doesn't k.o Haye first.

Exactly.

he needs to stop stalling, he's supposed to fight a Klitschko this summer. he's an exciting fighter and i've been rooting for him, but I really can't anymore b/c this is pathetic.

No no no no no no no! Right there is the problem!!! There is always another fight, always some obligation, always this fight, that fight, contract negotiations etc.

Don't start defeding Haye. The coard needs to step up and follow through on his words. Anything less is a duck.

[Spray_resistant]

This isn't surprising, he has no intent of being in the sport long term so why risk it?

Haye's initial talk of fighting Wlad was just to create attention for himself for the remainder of the time he is in boxing and to aid him in whatever he does in like 2 years when he is done.

I personally would be surprised if he did fight Wlad ever at this point, he is just not what he marketed himself to be.
