Comments Thread For: Haye Warns Heavyweights as Comeback Presser is Set

[LacedUp]

Povetkin would make more money from fighting Haye, as Haye's comeback will likely be on PPV and they will surely offer him a big cut of the PPV money to come to England and fight Haye.

Its a more winnable fight for more money, and if he pulls it off, he could possibly ask for even more money from Wlad.

I think it will be on BoxNation again. I doubt Sky would do two ppv in two weeks apart. But as far as the word is, it's Haye-Povetkin in the UK.

Well Haye is close with Kalle Sauerland so it could be Haye vs Pulev and the winner faces the winner of Fury-Cunningham fight, that would be the best route for Haye but its 50/50 it will happen.

Can't see Kalle Sauerland putting his WBA champion in with a dangerous opponent like Haye plus i don't see Haye fighting Helenius after that garbage performance at the weekend.

Iv'e also heard it could be Johnathon Banks, Tony Thompson, Manuel Charr or Jovo Pudar...Hope Haye-Pulev happens tho!

Unless they do something similar to when he fought Valuev. Co-promoting his next 2-3 fights should he win. Sauerland probably know that Sascha will get smashed the minute he enters the same ring as Wladimir. Just a thought..

It's a problem for Haye because he's a cruiserweight fighting at heavyweight with a ropey chin.

How you know Paula anyway?

Haye's chin isn't bad. He's been down maybe once at heavyweight (Monty Barrett) then came back to KO Monty Barrett. Carl Thompson didn't KO him; more of a stoppage, and that was years ago. Calzaghe has been down more, but people always say he has a great chin (which he does). Haye took some big shots off Wlad too.

I would take Haye to beat Pusvetkin

But I don't get it, Haye will announce his opponent in Thursday or just his comeback?

I would take Haye to beat Pusvetkin

So would I but if Sasha'll come in shape (not like in Huck fight) he can surprise us all. Anyway it's 65/35 for Haye

Haye ko's out any Briton and smashes through Povetkin. Id back him to take Vitali close on points but not beating Wlad for another few years.

[Arthur Daley]

Fury beats this blown up cw chump.

[Gooch999]

Just wait and see as soon as Haye announces his opponent we will hear from Vitali about Haye being offered the fight for summer and instead fighting someone else.

David Haye can make a lot of money. No matter what people say, he is appealing and creates headlines. Women love him, guys love or hate him, but he puts bums on seats.

You think someone women love would have a better looking wife.

Povetkin would realise he is an underdog against both Wladimir and Haye. If Povetkin goes straight to Wladimir he will have a shot at being WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO, and Ring champion. Let's face it: beating Wladimir is the only chance he gets of obtaining all those titles. A fight against Haye puts that position in jeopardy.

On the other hand, money talks. If he gets a better offer from Haye than from Klitschko he could very well go with Haye.

It'll be interesting to see.

@techliam.....what are the rumours about Povetkin being 'connected' and how seriously should we take them?

Just to be clear - not dis*****g/doubting your info or credibility at all - just would be interesting to know what is being said and by whom etc.

Lot's of nasty stuff has happened in London during the last decade involving the Russian emigre community...so just wondering what might be occuring with Povetkin.

Theres all sorts of rumours, and obviously, theres no proof of it. I just found it su****ious that Povetkin is well known around many Russian power circles, is in a sport where corruption is rife and the fact the death threat conveniently came at a time just the day before the fight was about to happen. For all I know, it could have been an attempt to put off Huck. But it's still su****ious, especially if hes facing Haye, with the well known Russian community in London. Not intending to spark racial tension/debate whatever, it's just a trait that's been seen too many times.

Not sure if the link will work, but its fight news:

Can only make observations and judgements which may not be factually correct... I hope none of this happens behind the scene if a Haye/Povetkin fight actually does materialise
