Comments Thread For: David Haye's Options: Harrison, Chagaev, Tua, Arreola

[LeadUppercut]

With the Klitschko brothers committing to other fights, WBA heavyweight champion David Haye has been left out in the cold. Wladimir Klitschko will defend his WBO/IBO/IBF heavyweight titles against Alexander Povetkin on September 18. WBC champion Vitali Klitschko continues ongoing negotiations to fight Nikolai Valuev at the end of the year.

If Haye isnt fighting a Klit brother next the only other fight I will accept is a fight with Fraudley and whilst that is WAAAY lower level then a Klit, Im british and it would be a grand fight over here - forget you guys, on this little Island they would both make a bucket of cash for their retirement.

If Haye lines up to fight one of the other pretenders in the HW division he can take a running jump as far as im concerned, as that is pure cowardice.
I'm well up for him ****ing the Kltis around (no pun intended), screwing them into getting the deal he wants and on the terms he wants as they have enjoyed being the bullies in the HW for too long - but any other fight with anymore drama from Haye and im afraid he loses some respect from me...and i do have a lot of respect for him - but i give him until end of next year to be in the ring with a Klit or I will be like some of you short memoried kids i read on here, who want it all yesterday and forget everything else other then the latest news and will too call Haye a coward

OK..... this is ALMOST EXACTLY where I stand on this issue.

Haye is not a coward..... yet

**** the K's..... they had their chance and they acted like asssholes.

Good on Haye for jerking them around now that he has a title and options.

When I asked for $10,000 for my old piece-of-**** honda.....
I priced myself off the market, and ended up with nothing, just like I deserved.

When K-bro's (who I respect) insisted upon a 2-bro 3-fight rematch clause..... they too priced themselves off the market, and ended up with nothing, just like they deserved.

Why did the author say David Haye was left in the cold. This isn't like when Mayweather and Pacquiao were supposed to fight each other and Mosley was going to be left out. No Haye waited for the the Klit bros., to fill there dance card and now he's out of hiding.

I find it awkward how some of the posters are trying to pinpoint this as a loss to either the Klitschko or Haye side.

The real loser is us, the boxing fans.

No way he waited for K2, he took the phone off the hook

They left a message for him.....

..... along with the plumber, the doctor, and a carpet salesman.....

..... and, he will get back to those good folk.....

when he is sick-and-tired of poncing around London being the WBA Heavyweight World Champion

K2 needed to.....

1.) Jump on Valuev
or.....
2.) Jump on Haye
or.....
3.) Stop Haye from jumping on Valuev

And they couldn't do any of those things.

Now.......... they wait.

Haye will fight a unification bout, just not til he's had some fun.

Diva "The *****" Gay

@LeadUppercut & antrob/// Whatta morrons you are. Clitors are between your legs idiots. By insulting KlichKOs you prove over and over that Diva Gay's fanboys or ex-fanboys are IDIOTS. Once again clits are between your legs.smd btches

And don't even try to write that klit "is not an insult". Just go to the street and say "Hi clit!" to any big men you just saw. And we know the outcome. Your butts will be remade into vagina.

ok, point taken.

I definitely didn't mean it as an insult, I've been watchiing the k-bro's since Haye was a teenager.

I won't use that term again, I can see it can be taken the wrong way.

The coward of london Haye's only option is to face the klits not these other bums like Tua the tub or crying chris the taco arreola. Haye called out the best now in typical english cowardly fashion wants only to fight guys that have been pummelled everywhere else. But that is the english way talk big walk small.

Your theory only makes sense if Haye doesn't believe his own claims about how he'll knock out the Klitschkos. If he believed those claims, there would be no reason for him to put off the fight any longer, now that he's been offered the terms he said he wanted (50/50 with no options).

It's all very well to say he's doing it just to spite the Klitschkos, but (a) that would be even more childish than I believe Haye to be, (b) he's losing credibility and therefore commercial clout, due to the perception that has now become close to universal that he's ducking, and that he therefore doesn't believe he can beat the Klitschkos, and (c) as others have pointed out, it's the boxing fans who are the losers here.

In short, I don't buy your theory. I really don't think Haye believes he can beat the Klitschkos any more, if he ever did. Perhaps his performance against Ruiz, which badly exposed his vulnerability to a decent jab - combined with Chambers' performance against Wlad, which showed that Wlad's timing, footwork and jab allows him to easily dominate fast and skilful but small Heavyweights - changed Haye's mind; but the general perception (not just the perception of Haye haters) is that Haye has lost his confidence that he can win. And it was his confidence that he could win that originally made this into a prospective mega-fight, so I think it will become less and less of a mega-fight the longer he appears to most fight fans to be ducking.
