David Haye you punk

[Daddy T]

I can understand casual sports fans buying into trash talk, but hardcore boxing fans should know that playing the bad guy is part of the sport. The more genuine the dislike between the fighters, the more tickets sold. To actually get upset or offended by something a fighter does during the *promotion* of a fight is downright silly.

This is how boxing works; If you don't like it, watch Cricket.

exactly, he's just trying to hype the fight and get people talking about it and guess what it's working ... true he is coming across as the bad guy while Wlad is coming across as very likable, but really who wants to see a load of manny v shane build ups where the guys are practically humping eachother in every press conference.

Haye is also the biggest hypocrite i have ever seen.

Yepp.


Wlad's level of comp takes a dump on Haye's.


Not just overall quality and quantity, but in a direct opponent-for-opponent comparison of their recent history in title fights.


Chagaev, Chambers and Peter >>> Valuev, old Ruiz and Harrison and it's not close.

Why do you need trash and gutter talk to sell a fight? Wlad could say a lot more about Mr David Haye if he wanted to and be a guttersnipe like him as Haye is a joke and all boxing fans know it, but Wlad is content to do his talking in the ring. If he was calling Haye a fraud (which he is!) it hardly sells the fight, it just comes across as childish name calling. Wlad is bigger than that. He is the man, Haye is the boy.
