i know i know, any work by me is a work of excellence. Im just kidding as well. but ive done the article, i will post a thread about it when i can

Dont make anything more of this then what it is,a test the heavy weight waters fight,heck Barrett got dropped in the second by Cliff"Who?"Couser last year

and he knocked him out in the rematch. it just showed he had a lack of focus, it can happen to a fighter.

and it shows the state of mind he must of been in losing to a fight of that calibre. It was a one off though, its nothing to worry about. Barrett knows that and thats why he settled the score in the rematch

---

And cmon again,the only fight he's won recently against a fighter with a decent record was Tye Fields who had his record inflated by never fighting anything but tomato cans
Monte's record in his last 6 fights is 3-3
Not exactly a prime Tyson or Lewis is it?
Like I said,dont get too hyped about this,this is a testing the waters fight,and in all honesty I think its a good idea to do it that way.

And again,if your a serious contender you CANT lose to a low level club fighter, thats like being a former title holder and getting dropped like a rock by Jeremy Bates

but loosing two fights on the trot can effect a fight mentally and i believe that he was in a negative state of mind going into that fight. again as i said it was a one off fight and he proved that in the rematch didnt he ? Tye fields was still working up the ranks and to get a big guy like him out in the first round was good for Barrett, a real good confidence booster IMO. He struggles against bigger fighters ie wlad and valuev, he lost to rahman due to the fact he was his mate and couldnt really get skyed for the fight. he lost to whittaker and mesi in close fights. couser is the only fight that he shouldnt have lost at all, but he wronged that loss and hes back on track now.

hes got bottle stepping in with haye on his home ground and i respect that.

I think this will be a great test for Haye. I think Barrett will test him I'll give him a little bit more credit than most I believe he could go the distance with Haye. It just depends how much he's lost in the last few years. I remember a similiar fight when Barrett fought Owen Beck. It was supposed to be Beck's coming out party but Barrett put an end to all of that in a hurry in a great fight. I am not jumping the gun and saying it will happen in this fight also but one never know's.

Sorry,if your a top flight fighter,you dont get sparked in whats supposed to be a tune up fight against a professional tomato can. Heck Golata came out retirement and sparked a similar fighter in Bates.
Barrett is a career also ran,sort of like Fres Oquendo.
Face it the Beck win was 3 years ago,and Beck hasnt exactly tore up the division since then.
Its a good fight for Haye to get a feel for the division,but thats all it is

okay i appreciate your point. but all i have to say is he righted that wrong though? its not like hes coming off the loss to couser and going straight into the haye fight though, hes avenged the loss in quick sensation and coming off a first round win in the hands of tye fields. Haye could have found a worse oppanent but hes not, Barrett has a name in the heavyweight ranks and thats all that matters for haye ;)

Oh dont get me wrong,I think Barrett's a good choice,he still has name recognition,he hasnt fought well lately,and it gives Haye a chance to get his feet wet at heavyweight.
Im just saying,dont make it in to a clash of the Titans. I mean Barrett has a punchers chance,but thats about all he has.
And Haye finally had to fight somebody,between one guy pulling out,and Chapman's manager not bothering to mention the fight to Chapman,it had been 110& Snafu before this
