I never said he is scared of a challenge, or never has taken one, I said he might be scared of THIS challenge. ;)Quote:

It's nothing against him personally, just logic speaking. I'm sure pretty much everyone feels the same.
Haye vs Ruiz is a total non-entity, I can't see Haye doing more than laughing at Ruiz....it'll be a Klitschko fight next, even if Haye leaves the WBA belt empty.Quote:

Some people make me laugh on here Dirrell did exactly the same against Froch and was hailed as a boxing masterclass, Haye does a similar job and no one is giving him credit hahahaha, love the unbias opinions on here. ;D
For the record I hope he drops the belt in the garbage on the way to the hotel room because it's gonna be a curse on him if he tries to keep it.
Same score I had mate - crap fight thoughQuote:

Would have liked to have seen more aggression but there is only so much he could have done fighting the giant.
He showed class and professionalism in changing his style, tactics, patience and staying with the fight plan so to enable THE WIN.
I would have liked him to be more aggressive but HE DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO TO WIN.
You yanks will love this, as its the first of the dismantling of the 'Russian dominance'
I'm sure you boys will all criticise David, but give him respect for his tactics and what he has just achived.
At the end of the day he's achived what you boys could'nt he's ripped the title away from the circus show.
Give Smooth Style some respect he's bigged up the Haye for a year now, he called it spot on.

The only Americans that have fought Valuev were from the senior league.
Problem is mate, he won't last more than 9 minutes with VitaliQuote:

Still we'll see and right now Im just going to enjoy the fact that my favourite UK fighter of present (along with Khan ...... I know slate me all you want :D) has come through. If i didnt have a fucking massive and important essay in on Monday I'd be partying it up.
Fucking Uni !!!!
