Comments Thread For: Team Klitschko: 50-50 Deal on The Table For David Haye

[SluggerFan]

Either way, f he fights them,he is getting ktfo unless his style changes. ou cannot fight the Klitschkos at a distance and try to move in and out like Haye has been doing since he moved to the HW division....you gotta be aggressive until they wilt-this applies to Wlad especially.

I agree with this as well. Haye cannot fight either Klits the way he fought Valuev. He needs to work on his speed and head movement so he can get inside and **** the body. Nobody has been able to get to either Klits body before and they are too tall to go for the head for a guy like Haye. I always thought that if anyone had a shot at beating the Klits (especially Wlad), it would be Haye. However, nothing he has demostrated so far has me convinced. He will need the perfect game plan and be 110% in shape to have a shot at winning...

No you are right about that.

You cannot beat the Klits by fighting 12 rounds in full retreat and refusing to engage for the entire fight.

David Haye's 144 punches attempted against Nicolai Valuev are as far as I can tell the lowest output in the history of 12 round Heavyweight Title fights.

Think of that... 12 punches per round... 4 per minute. One punch every 15 seconds or so... what a thrilling and brilliant effort by Haye.

No boxing PPV has ever done 3 million. Not even those with the sport's biggest cash cow, Oscar de la Hoya.

I highly doubt that the relatively boring Klitschkos will pull that number especially with the world economy being the way it is.

It's nothing to do with whether the Klitschkos are considered boring or not, it's the fact that they are considered by almost everyone to be by far the two best Heavyweights in the world, and the opportunity for Haye to be considered the #1 Heavyweight by beating one of them.

UK PPV, at only £14, is far cheaper than US PPV, which is usually at least $50. UK PPV hasn't been going that long, but the big British fights of the past, which were on terrestrial TV, and free, regularly got way over 10 million viewers per fight. 3 million viewers at £14 for Haye-Klitschko, with all the bad blood there has been, the t-shirt, and the fact that Haye would be the first generally recognised British world Heavyweight champion since Lewis if he won, is certainly not beyond the bounds of possibility.

The fights will get made next year! its all been about the hype, how much & when for both parties.

What comes out in the press is usually a load of bull anyway.

[IAMBIAZED]

Hopefully Floyd Mayweather II accepts the deal.

[Pirao]

Haye is a fraud and of course will not accept this offer (even though is more than he deserves) he'll keep ducking and fighting the Audley's of the world, I bet he'll pull some **** up to not fight Chagaev even though he's the mandatory, like Valuev did. Haye is only interested in fighting bums, he'll never fight anyone like Chambers, Thompson, Chagaev, Adamek... because he knows damn well he's very beatable and he would lose one of those fights.

[Pirao]

I fully agree.

But, also is a shame when a Vitaly-Sosnowski/Briggs or Wlad-Peter II fights happen. And, you are down in that match ups. Fans on here are quick to throw the "YOU ONLY HATING ON THE KLITSCHKOS BECAUSE THEIR WHITE OR NONE AMERICAN".

The backlash you can get by criticizing them gets old Wlad IMO is a HOF'er I give him credit for the Chagaev and Chambers victory and other wins. However, the Peter rematch was unacessary IMO.

I had no probelm with Vitaly choice of opponents when he cameback. However Sosnowski and Briggs leaves me just

So, tell me who they should be fighting, then

[Joe2608]

If it were as simple as this then the fight would have been done by now. Clearly there are money issues that make it not as simple as 50/50 on both Haye and Klitschko sides.

Yes, there are issues: Haye knows he would get KTFO if he fought either brother.

[ChopperRead]

True enough. It's probably can't suck any more than the Briggs fight, which anyone with sense knew would blow before the opening bell.

I enjoyed Vitali's performance, personally. He was very aggressive right from the first round onwards. Certainly not "boring." The fight should have rightfully been stopped after round 8, however. Briggs quit fighting after that.
