Comments Thread For: Monte Barrett: "David Haye is The Future of Boxing"

[titan_1987]

Almost two years later and he's still complaining that Haye didn't buy him food and pay for him to stay at a top hotel. He really does seem to care too much about the whole thing.

Yes, actually he does. I doubt Haye ever apologized to him anyway for that cheap trick.

I respect Monte for being a class act, he dislikes Haye but praises him for his abilities, even calling him out as "the future of boxing".

Monte knocking out Tye Fields in the first round on June 28, 2008 is still fresh in my mind. I laughed seeing Arum get shooked that day.

Haye should go on and fight with the klits bros. Win against one and he would be slightly on par with Pac and Floyd

or better yet win against both of the klits then he'd be higher that Lennox Lewis. It's a shame he would be retiring after one year or so.. So much for the future of boxing.

Haye picked Harrison when both of the Klits bros were on their knees begging him for a fight. Such a d@mn shame really..

Heavyweight contender Monte Barrett walked away from the sport in style. Last Friday in Atlantic City, Barrett was the heavy underdog and took the fight to big puncher David Tua. He took over the second half of the fight and handed Tua the first knockdown of his career in the twelfth round. The judges scored the fight a majority draw. Many observers saw Barrett as the winner. A surprising outcome since Tua was expected to knock Barrett out within the first five rounds.

Maybe Haye is the future. He certainly is not the present.

Is it Possible that we as fans are being played by David Haye in some sort of MAD MASTER PLAN which he is following to a T .................I just could not understand why he had made all that NOISE and had even made a point of chasing the Klitschkos around europe promoting the fact that he wanted to DESTROY THE KLITSCHKO strangle hold on heavyweight boxing and then TWICE he walks out on contracts to fight them -and then he slips away into the night after and his fans have been getting slaughtered on the boxing forums = DAVID GAYE ring any bells ?

Wicked!!...

I think Barrett's outburst about the hotel was a sign that he could not handle the occasion mentally, thats, imo, why he came to the ring the way he did (running)and fell over the top rope, he could not control his nervous energy, he let it consume him.

It seems to me if you are going to be " the future " you need to be boxing ,,not playing silly games to get attention ?

If David Haye is the 'future', he better start fighting in the present. At the rate he is going, he won't be fighting either Klit until 2015 (if he ever fights them at all) and by that time, they both will be too old....

Haye wants to retire from boxing at 30.
