There's this thing called the Internet, which you seem to love, as you are on it 24/7 defending everything Haye does, no matter how pernicious (what is it, about 3am over there now?), and I read the UK press.
There was NO call by anyone serious about boxing in the UK for Haye to fight Harrison rather than someone like Adamek. There was no call of any kind until they started that phoney exchange on Twitter to provide a rationale to fight each other.
Haye vs Harrison might have been more excusable if Haye wasn't insisting on retiring -- but only 3 fights left and he chooses to fight Fraudley?
Try all you want, you can't defend that decision.Comment

Haye may be trying to sell tickets and all, but to me he's just setting himself up for an EPIC FAIL.
Wlad is just way, way too much at this stage in his career for someone as untested hvywt as Haye.Comment

I don't believe that it's just about selling tickets. He is just compulsive, and it seems like the more nervous he is, the more he yaps. He was petrified of Valuev and never shut up, calling him hairy and smelly and so on, really nasty, childish stuff.
Now he's petrified of Wlad, and he's yapping non-stop again.Comment

Haye seems to believe or wants to believe that Wladimir is the same guy today as the guy who lost to Corrie Sanders, a fight he admits he didn't even train for.
So much has happened since then -- including Vitali and Wlad having a major argument, Vitali telling Wlad he was likely through as a fighter, Wlad replacing Vitali's team with his own and banning Vitali from training camp with Manny Steward for the 1st Sam Peter fight -- that to think Wlad is the same fighter that fought Sanders seems to me like wishful thinking and a fatal error on Haye's part.
Wlad has grown up and become his own man instead of Vitali's little brother. That's what Haye is going to find out.Last edited by ChopperRead; 04-21-2011, 10:04 PM.Comment

You call haye "untested". He HAS been tested in the British Boxing Laboratory. He stole the title from valuev in the one of the 2 worst title fights in memory. He ressurrected mostly retired, and SHOT 39 year old John Ruiz, a well worked over fighter with 9-10 losses, and if it wasn't for his blatant rabbit punching who knows how that fight might have gone. As it was it took 9 rds for hay to win a TKO.
And finally...we come to the #1 worst title fight in memory. This was against 40 year old Audley Harrison, who had absolutely nothing a was afraid even at 6'5", to throw a single punch before he slid gently to the canvas.
So you can't say that Haye is untested, he's been a principal in the 3 worst heavyweight title fights in the past 50 years, since Marciano's time. In fact Haye's title fights were far worse, the worst I've ever seen, (I didn't see Harrison) and I'm surprised to see myself actually writing this, as I've always believed that Marciano was the worst Champion.
But, of course Haye isn't a champion, merely a fake titleholder. Let him enjoy it the little while he has left. If, by some miracle he actually wins, I'll congratulate him, but I don't expect this to happen. I've made several bets against him, and would make more if I could find a genuine Haye backer.Comment

Yes I quite agree with what you say, and remember it. He's a compulsive liar and gossipmonger, not even a likeable one. I used to strongly believe that British Sportsmen were the epitome of "class", and those I knew were, but Haye,......Haye drags down the whole group to a very undesirable level.Comment

Haye is too ***** to fight any other ranked Heavyweight obviously.
Funny how he basically **** talked his way into the picture.
No substantial wins compared to a few Heavies yet feels he is a
true contender. You had to fight to get respect at one time.
Dudes resume is no where near impressive.
Everyone wants a shot at the title before they are exposed these days.Last edited by DoomCity202; 04-21-2011, 11:56 PM.Comment
