Thread: David Haye should fight a top HW next, not old Shannon Briggs

David Haye could have been a lot better than what he is and what he is, is a part time boxer and full time asshole

Not sure what people saw. David Haye looked like his skills, speed etc had eroded completely. If that Haye fights Briggs he will get smashed.

To put Hayes win in perspective...

Hayes opponent was taken 7 rounds by Briggs opponent.

That would be hilarious!

Why all the hate for David Haye?

David has come back from a career threatening and serious injury. He was out of boxing for a number of years so he is taking easy fights back. He is fighting quite regularly and slowly building up momentum.

Briggs is an ideal next opponent because he is a big name, ranked and easy to beat. David Haye will take on the better fighters 2017 but the main thing for him was to test his shoulder, not get injured, fight regularly and win with big crowds. He has done all that and everything is going according to plan.

Haye is in it for the long term, otherwise he could have tried to cash out but Joshua is still a bit green, Fury hates him and will not fight him, Wilder has to fight Povetkin. Realistically Haye could win the other trinket but he is keeping all his options open which is smart.

If Haye was smart he wouldnt have blown his money and be here now.

Also, Whyte has just had the same surgery as Haye and is fighting In June this year, not June 2019

He is not the first fighter to become broke and will not be the last. He is earning a lot now and hope he invests it better this time around.

This doesn't make sense mate. How do you suggest that he could possibly "Cash Out."? he has no choice but to work his way back and make himself credible. You've even written above reasons why he wouldn't be able to Cash out. He has no Fucking choice!
I like Haye, but people have to understand that all he is doing is earn as much money as he possibly can . It's not about titles, It's not about being the best , it's about earning as much as he can, as quickly as he can . if he can con a few people into thinking he's there for the duration and he's "Quicker, faster.stronger than he's ever been and his Timing is spot on", then more fool them .
I don't have a major problem with it because I'm not putting a single penny his way, and I don't feel mugged off, because I know what I expect , but other people have to realise this.
It's a bit like people feeling robbed when Floyd fought Manny because they thought it would be this amazing fight! It was always going to be what it was and as long as you realise this and don't expect unrealistic shit to happen, it's fine.

I dont think hes earning alot. Hes funding these shows which is why its shit opponents and shit undercard fights and the first one he pulled a few of the fights off. Remember Billy Dib? Had an injury which is why he couldnt fight yet just a few weeks later he had a fight!

Apparently there werestill ringside tickets available on whatever site it was that you could buy them from on the afternoon of the fight. Probably gave tickets away or allowed people to move forward because there were alot of empty seats in the back.

David Haye may pay the price for taking the boxing public for granted

Oh but it was SOOOOO much fun watching him go from "I'm going to retire by 30 as champion after beating Wladimir" to "I'm going to have a super fight with Shannon Briggs" at age 35.


He talked so much shit for so fucking long and I'm happy he's broke, I couldn't be more pleased.....seeing Briggs knock him out would actually be the icing on the cake though. Then I will guarantee you there will be a rematch vs Chisora!

Like Master don't know why the Haye hate, apart from Ross obviously.

Should fight a top heavyweight? - Who the fuck would that be? Having a Giraffe?

On one side of the divide we have the fly tipper, who appears to be going loopy, versus Klit, who may well be shot and retire before the fight, lets wait and see what happens there.

On the other side of the draw we have Joshua, Haye and Wilder, Now that Lucas Browne is out of it (belly laugh).

Heavyweight boxing now is shit, and as much as I hated Hayes shit show on Saturday, at least it was free and kept some tight bastards on this site happy.

You cannot blame any of them jockeying for a money making position in the dying days of competitive world heavyweight boxing. Sad but true.

You aren't looking for an answer, are you?

Can't decide which of the two has Donald Trumped his way into a big payday more Because both have done next to nothing in six years and are about five removed from being clowned and tamed by a Klitschko. If they make this it's one of those circus acts and Briggs wins all around while Haye beats up a photogenic weezing geezer who really never could box. Haye should aim higher and stay current.

Haye is a media whore and will beat the biggest slag in boxing called Shannon Briggs.

Love him or hate him, he is attracting fans and attention to boxing.
