For once, Haye says something with which I totally agree. I don't understand how Wladimir could live with himself if he goes to Rio and beats up on a bunch of kids (all jokes about him not throwing a punch aside).

This is indeed insane and the guy wants throwing out of his position immediately as he is a danger to the sport.

Can you imagine a totally green unseasoned 17 year old up against Wlad or Aj or indeed Haye .....totally ridiculous idea.

totally green? LOL They'd be at least 50+ amateur fights anyway I don't see how this is a problem

He's right. You're gonna get some kids killed.

It's ****** to allow professional fighters fight amateurs. People can get seriously hurt and if someone does its almost a guarantee that they won't get the financial help to cover medical bills. Boxing isn't like any other sport where its not a big deal if professionals play amateurs like basketball or other such games.

Totally agree with David Haye on this issue.

No way Pro's should be fighting Amateurs in the Olympics
