Comments Thread For: Evander Holyfield Discusses David Haye vs. Tyson Fury

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield believes Tyson Fury is capable of causing an upset against fellow Briton David Haye and even thinks both Englishmen could dethrone the all-conquering Klitschko brothers in the future.

Haye and Fury are scheduled to do battle in February after their original bout last month was scrapped due to a cut suffered by the Londoner in training.

The younger, taller but inexperienced Fury still suspects the fight may never happen. However, four-time world heavyweight champion Holyfield believes the 11/4 underdog from Cheshire does have a chance of beating the former WBA titlist.

"It's an exciting fight," Holyfield told Press Association Sport. "David Haye is a guy who went the same route as me, being cruiserweight world champion and moving up to become a heavyweight champion of the world. Like me, he showed it's not about the size of the man, it's about the size of his heart.

Your post makes no sense..why the hell would he have signed
up if he was afraid? Besides, they even made the odds in his favor.
Tyson Fury is a B level fighter at best

I would still pay to watch him and Tyson get it on again.

Holyfield should move into commentating. Many things he could do.

Ah, hell no!!! Anyone can take his slurring speech and extremely slow mental processes and filter that into a written article to make some sense but he is extremely frustrating to listen to live. He does not belong within 10 feet of a microphone.
