I thought James Toney, Hasim Rahman, and Shannon Briggs were also on the radar of one certain vociferous title holder

Thats a pretty damning statement. Great stuff. Everything Bonte said was spot on to be fair.

If Harrison hadn't got lucky with that punch in the 12th round agains Sprott, he'd be retired by now. There would be none of this nonsense. He is, literally, hanging on to his career by the skin of his teeth. His fight with Haye, god forbid, will be his last and can't wait to see him get a beating - a beating which I hope one of the Klits dish out to Haye IF they ever meet in the ring. I know he is British etc but just because he is British doesn't mean we all have to support him. Hell, I got more respect for Danny Williams than I have for David Haye. ;D

Haye will beat the crap out of audley, and the sad part is haye will be the one that looks worse for going from stalking the klit's to braggin about beating harrison. Props though to audley for making a living and suckering people to even consider this fight as remotely important.

Utterly laughable!

If Haye hadn't been banging on about beating the Klitchsko's for so long I would be happy to see this fight, but as it is, if it happens, it will clearly be a stall to try and squeeze more PPV buys from fans and to pad out his record.

So far I've respected Haye for the people he has fought, Valuev although shit, still hadn't been beat for a long time and he still had to get that decision. Ruiz is a solid and respected heavyweight so I can see why he took that one.

If he fights Harrison I hope he gets beat and I hope that Audrey goes on to fight and beat a Klitscho.

Despite the fact I can't stand him, I actualy want him to win a world title, would make me laugh my ass off if he did manage to achieve what we all think is impossible for him.

One thing you cannot knock him for is is self belief (out of the ring) and the way he makes himself an attraction.

Let's say this fight happens....

#1 What would Chicken Little have to do vs Audley to impress you (if it's possible)?

#2 Let's say Harrison gives a good account of himself ends up maybe hurting, dropping, or even winning this fight. Where in the top 10 heavyweights does Audley go to and where does Motor Mouth go from there?

#3 Do any of you rate Chagaev's chances vs either fighter? Given the fact that he's the #1 WBA challenger.

Chagaev has NOOOOOOO problem whatsoever against Harrison, and is 50-50 against Haye IMO. Haye has power speed and skills over limited Ruslan, but ANY durable fighter has a shot at Haye in the later rounds.

Audlei isn't a top 30 heavy, flippin ludicrous fight for a beltholder to consider.

Agreed, but I'm just posing a hypothetical question....suppose Audley dominates (I and everyone else know for certain he won't), I guess what I am saying is will Audley move up more spots or would the Chicken drop more spots?

I told you this fight was happening over two weeks ago. :)

This is sad that Haye is even considering this, there are far better opponents for Haye to fight and get ready for the Klits, but the truth is he is running scared. Smart business move but the lies of him wanting to fight the kilts are embarrassing.

can see where you all coming from but I'm all for this one

i) great domestic showdown the likes of which we not seen for years

ii) will sell

iii) if haye records an impressive blowout win we will be rid of audley who just won't fuck off from the scene AND it will generate much more interest in a Klitschko fight over here

iv) if audley wins it will be hilarious (and I'm a big Haye fan !) and he will get a shot at the Klits which will again generate much more interest


I know true boxing fans want Haye in with Klits now but financially long term this makes more sense for Haye and for boxing in the UK for the 'man on the street' type fan.

If we were in Haye's shoes and didn't want to be fighting for many more years then we would all take this option - it guarantees a few more million.

it simple...............
GREAT MONEY FOR AUDLEY.!
EASY FIGHT FOR HAYMAKER TO MAKE.!

2 FACT
AUDLE HAS NEVER DELIVERD AND WONT THIS TIME, HE LOST 11 ROUNDS IN HIS LAST FIGHT "NUFF SAID"

HAYE IF U EVER READ THESE PAGES " BE A MAN OF UR WORD DONT TAKE THE EASY FIGHT GIV US WHAT WE REALLY WANT" DONT TAKE A STEP BACKWARDS ITS ABOUT GOIN 4WARD GEEZA................
" I BELIVE "

It makes sense for him to take the fight money wise but for his career, well, it's a step backwards.

Honest question, mostly for the UK guys. Would you pay for PPV or buy a ticket to see this fight (don't consider the undercard for the sake of argument). How do you feel your friends perceive this and would they pay for it?
