Let's hope Haye fights a Klitschko and not Audley Harrison
His trainer is right. He will be the laughing stock of boxing if he fights Audley Harrison. I could only imagine how bad he would look if he got knocked out by Audley Harrison.

What sort of trainer is he if he's letting this garbage fight take place?
Not a manager worth having.

I would rather Haye get KO in one round by Wlad or Vitali and he gets my respect than him winning aginst Harrison. He has Valuev's rematch still hanging, He now has a mandatory in chagaev so if he doesnt fight the Klits now we would not see him fight them until 2012.

Very strange for Booth to be talking like this, maybe there is a full version of this interview, but it read like Booth was getting frustrated by Haye's behaviour regarding the Klitschko's. If its true that Haye was offered 50/50 and no future rights then I can understand Booth getting frustrated if David isnt inclined to take it. After all the Hoopla created by the two of them about the Klitschko's it makes Booth look like an idiot, and I cant see him being too pleased about that.

Adam Booth: "Haye will be called a coward for not facing the Klitschkos and his credibility will be shot to pieces."
Haye ALREADY is a proven coward and his credibility has ALREADY been shot to pieces.

David Haye's camp rubbishes Audley Harrison over hopes to fight WBA heavyweight champion
By David Anderson 9/06/2010
David Haye's camp rubbished Audley Harrison after he tried to jump the queue to fight the WBA heavyweight champion.
Haye's manager and trainer Adam Booth says he would hate to see his man fight Harrison, claiming the ex-Olympic gold medallist has done nothing to deserve a world title shot.
Booth believes Harrison ditching his European title yesterday is a ploy to improve his chances of getting a crack at Haye.
He dismissed Harrison, saying he got lucky when he stopped Michael Sprott to win the European title and put himself back in the picture.
And even though Harrison is being pushed by German promoter Sauerland, who have a say in who Haye fights next, Booth claims the champ prefers one of the Klitschkos.
"As a boxing fan, I would hate to see David fight Audley," said Booth, speaking at a London lunch yesterday in Haye's honour.
"He's never boxed anyone in the top 40 and never produced in the ring. Audley's only hope would be that he finds his b******s and David's chin at the same time. I believe I know why he's given up the European title. He won the lottery by knocking out Sprott.

"He was losing that fight and got out of jail when he pulled out a shot to stop him. He thinks that will get him a fight with David, Vitali or Wladimir Klitschko. That would make him around £1million.
"But he knows if he were to lose his mandatory European title fight to Alexander Dimitrenko it's all over."
Booth claims Haye would be "shot to pieces" by critics if he fought Harrison after claiming he was only interested in fighting the Klitschko brothers.
"I would not like that fight as a boxing purist," he said. "In Britain, it's a fight people would like to see and it would generate some money in pay-per-view sales.
"But the criticism dumped on David would be horrific. He would be branded a coward and people would say he was running away from the Klitschkos. He would be shot to pieces."
Despite Booth's opposition, Harrison is being touted for Haye's next fight, which will be in October or November at either Manchester's MEN Arena or London's O2, along with the Klitschkos, ex-champ Nikolay Valuev and Pole Tomasz Adamek.
Haye missed the lunch to look after his sick wife Natasha, following the birth of their daughter Sienna.
