It's in Haye's Setanta contract that he has to fight a top ten heavyweight this fight as ranked by the WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO. Are any of those guys seriously going to put Skelton in the top ten just to earn a sanctioning fee? It's not like they have a history of doing things like that in the past, is it?

Dont quite get the point of that statement but my point is and I think every body who knows boxing whould agree.
If you lose to Audley you are not very good.
The point is simple. Watch the fight and then come back to me and say Bonin lost it, cuz he never. Boxrec say he lost. And the ones who have seen it disagree. Just go watch it :)Quote:

I think you have lost the point of the whole thread which is that Skelton while not idea would be a lot better opponent than most.
At least a win against him would proe somthing.;D
I'm not sure what your point is. His performance against Audley means nothing, he's a doorman who's never beaten a guy with a winning record, for all his limitations Skelton has faced good opposition including a creditable performance against the WBA champion.Quote:

Calling Skelton a doorman is a slur and not true at all. He's a removal man.Quote:

He wont fight Skelton, Warren offered him 600k to fight Skelton turned it donw because of his low ranking in world terms, also i cant see him working with Warren again.Quote:

Good test
To me that would make the most sense as the guy is quite well known considering he is a prospect and has been on HBO, and take into account that he was looking for an opponent in November, shoul be easy to be made.Quote:

I don't know of their sparring history, but Arreola will need to learn quick to keep his right hand up, that's the biggest flaw in his game IMO, Arreola is very sloppy, but his power is very real would be a great fight.Quote:

Haye needs to fight a top Yank in the US or London to get the Wlad fight
Skelton would not help him

Way to dangerous for Haye at this early stage of his HW life.Same goes for Arreola as well.
Would be a great fight though IMO.
It wont Happen, but Haye would stop Him early if it did 2 or 3 rounds Me thinks ;D
Haye doesn't want to fight the Brit heavies (like Skelton) because if it all goes wrong he'll have them to fall back on ;)
