Comments Thread For: Haye Trouble: British Board Likely To Reject Chagaev

[ChopperRead]

He should fight 11-time champ James Toney.

Seriously, I don't see how this is a bad thing for Haye. Chagaev is an absolute nobody. At least Ruiz is an English speaker and has a win over Holyfield, that's an easier sell than Chagaev. I'm sure he can find somebody who's both a lower risk and an easier sell than Chagaev, even if it's a ****ty Valuev rematch.

In sporting terms it was ****, but financially Haye's done ****ing well by rejecting the Vitali fight and going for the WBA title instead.

The problem is he wants respect for doing so.

Chagaev looked like Ali fighting Valuev next to Haye's sad effort.

I think a Haye fight with James Toney is actually a possibility.

Not only would that be hilarious, it would be awesome two-fold. One, Holyfield would become the oldest fighter to win a legitimate belt and two, Bernard Hopkins won't...

Holyfield would CRUSH David Haye.

There's no way Haye accepts a fight with Holyfield unless he somehow became his mandatory.

[D-MiZe]

Holyfield isn't going to crush Haye.

Does anyone honestly believe Haye cares about respect? He sold PPV against Harrison. HARRISON. It's all about the money and he can do better than Chagaev, certainly in risk:reward terms.

In the UK he's a hero and the Klitschkos are ducking him. There are very few real boxing fans.

I wouldn't want to get in the ring with a guy that has the hep. What if cuts open up on both guys?

Haye's already been vaccinated. All UK pro boxers are required to be vaccinated for Hep B.

In no particular order, I'd like to see Haye fight
Either Klitschko
Adamek
Chambers
Arreola
Chisora
Boytsov
Pulev
Povetkin
Solis
but the odds aren't looking good.

Hate to say it but I'd actually prefer Haye fighting a shot Holyfield. Yes, it may sound controversial. I couldn't rule out Sam Sexton as a possible opponent for Haye, you just don't know. And looking at the bigger picture, I doubt Holyfield is going away till he gets one more title shot, it makes sense!

[The Hammer]

I'm thinking it will be Danny Williams.

He's shot, and is around the same age as Haye's four opponents since moving to HW.

This time, Haye will bet money on a 5th round KO - and he won't throw a serious punch until that round, after saying "now" to Danny.

Do you live under a bridge? Because you're either a troll or a ****ing massive mong.

Yeah if only Haye was brave enough to turn down an unification bout to face a "tough" challenger like someone who isnt ranked in the top 15 in the world.
