Haye wouldnt fight roy

Just like he wouldn't fight Audley?

Apparently a win over Sprott is enough to get Haye's attention.

Here's the story:

Having won the most recent Prizefighter heavyweight tournament at the sprightly age of 35, we are possibly seeing the best of Michael Sprott right now. His tactics, speed, patience and agility seem better than ever. Therefore there is no surprise that he is calling out the likes of Roy Jones Jr in order to capitalise on his new found form.

BoxRec News caught up with Michael Sprott and he discussed the possibility of a fight with Roy Jones.

"Roy Jones was in the UK for a few weeks and I caught up with him and his team. Currently the fight is being negotiated and I'm hoping for a target date of March next year."

There have also been rumours of Sprott moving to MMA due to his speed and agility. BoxRec News also asked Sprott about this distinct possibility. "I am always up for a challenge and MMA is an option for the future, but right now I want to focus on a potential fight with Roy Jones Jr. I know I can beat him and he will be a big scalp on my record."

Sprott has been looking sharper than ever, partly due to his new found focus and preparation. "I feel better than ever. I am currently in training and I started last week. I will probably spar with Wladimir Klitschko for three or four weeks in preparation for his fight with Derek Chisora. Things couldn't be any better."

Are you kidding me? If catchweight Green was able to drop Roy then Sprott will retire him in the first 6 rounds, whenever he gets a good shot in on a slow, leg/reflexless Roy. And a fight with Haye wouldn't make it past the first 2 minutes.

Roy needs to stick to fighting tricycle drivers in his backyard. At least he'd be entertaining us. But seeing him get massacred by a hungry journeyman with nothing to lose in Sprott or a bigger, stronger, faster, 11 years younger knockout puncher in Haye would be sad...

Haye wouldnt fight roy

Uh huh.

[Spray_resistant]

Its somewhat interesting to see if at his level of shotness the best P4P fighter of a long era can beat a completely mediocre HW journeyman........I mean again.
