After seeing some of the videos to the build up of his fight against David Haye he has come across as a really nice and funny guy, very entertaining! Now I'm a David Haye fan but I'm almost turning against Haye due to some of his antics and how he is acting towards Wladimir now the fight closes in. Is it just me or are any of you guys falling to his charm? :rolleyes:
No I am impressed with him also. I want Haye to win but Wlad certainly has won the promotional battle, "shake the hand" and "I love Borat" blew away Haye.
"Shake my magic had" was hilarious!Quote:

I have to say their is nothing I find more boring in boxing than a guy that tries to win over fans by being nice.
I like the bad guys of the sport, always have. They're funny before the fight, their funny if they win and their even funnier if they lose after weeks of big talk.
I really like the guy, but I gotta hope that Haye Sparks him from a patriotic point of view.
That's how I see it too. This is the hurt business, not golf or a game of ping pong. Fighter who go out of their way to be nice like Mosley/pac/wlad bore me to death. IT's even worse when you try to touch gloves every minute to make secret agreements. Bad guys will always sell more.. These guys have more personality, love it or hate it, and people watch them because of it.Quote:

I'm sorry but Haye appeared a little shook in one of the funny videos with Wlad. Wlad hasn't shown an ounce of fear yet. I hope both sides give credit where it's due regardless of who wins.Quote:

if you think Haye put Wlad in his place verbally during the run up to this fight then you haven't watched the videos OR you need to tell your significant other about your crush on Haye.
Wlad's verbal intimidation/schooling of Haye is all the more amazing since English is his second or 3rd language, Wlad has Haye so fucking flustered, he's afraid to be in the same room.Quote:

The problem with the heavyweight division is NOT the Klitchkos. It is everyone else.
Good point, and a lot of it has to do with the Klitschko's being as good as they are, in fairness to "everyone else", the K-Bros usually have a huge size advantage over their opponents.Quote:

Except for Vitali who was busted for steroids.:-XQuote:
