Comments Thread For: Pirog: The Fans are Waiting For Haye vs Povetkin Clash

[Mr. Ryan]

The fans where? Because I don't recall any recent conversations when my buddies and I are like, "Hey, you know what fight I want to see? Haye vs. Povetkin."

Right now, David Haye is getting the X-Pac heat for his non-performance against Wladimir. I'd like to see Haye fight someone like Cris Arreola or Tony Thompson to earn his shot at a title, instead of walking straight into a title match like last time.

did u see his last fight??? he will not be on any american networks unless hes matched up with a top ranked opponent.

against maciel, yeah. he didn't impress, but he did what he needed to do to win. i really hope he is the real deal and has more impressive wins like the jacobs fight, he'd be the best challenger for martinez at MW.

All Pirog does is talk. He hasn't fought anybody decent since that win over Jacobs almost a year ago.

All he is interested in is a fight against Martinez but doesn't want to fight any top contenders apparentely. Maybe he doesn't think he can beat them but he will get paid more for losing to Martinez than for losing to those guys. Maybe Jacobs was overrated like a lot of people say and this guy isn't that good. He didn't look very good against Maciel.

I thought that Pirog and Golovkin where the big threats of the division but maybe i was wrong...

No one cares about either Povetkin or Haye anymore.
