I'm such a sucker for the sport that I'd probably watch a midget box a baby kangaroo if it was promoted well and there was a decent undercard, so I'm not going to lie and say I won't watch. However, it is completely irrelevant to the HW division and Haye has seriously damaged his credibility here.
Would rather see him fight somebody decent, but seeing he's a pussy, then i'll look forward to see him fight someone at least, even if it is harrison who is truely awful.
Ha. Yes we don't have a contender in the heavyweight division, that much is true. But how much does it say about your boy(friend?) that guys like Eddie Chambers, Kevin Johnson and Tony Thompson have all jumped at fighting a Klitschko before Haye? Haye could actually stand to gain by fighting Chambers, Johnson and Thompson right now actually. All those guys are better then Audley and by a good margin. Even Kevin Johnson.Quote:

Pretty much the same sentiments here. I'm not going to get up early and watch it, but I will catch a replay just for curiosities sake. Pointless fight though.Quote:

To be fair, Eddie Chambers, Kevin Johnson and Tony Thompson can't draw 20 odd thousand to watch either of them fight a bum. They would if they could. Practically anybody would. If you had the draw power, you'd line your pockets as much as you could before tackling either Klitschko. Realistically Haye has little chance of winning, so after that his career is done with. He's doing what we'd all do in his situation. The only reason he's calling the Klitschko's out is to line his own pockets. It's self promotion, putting your name at the side of a widely known fighter. He'll fight one of them, possibly even both of them depending on how he does, so i don't see the problem.Quote:

To be honest, i don't even know why i'm even defending Haye. I ike him, but i'd love it if he got ko'd by the A-Train.. I feel the same as MarkTKO feels really.
it will be a big fight in the UK so it makes sense, full stop.
No its a crap fight Audley Harrison was losing to Michael Sprott, until he actually since 2000 decided to throw a punch without thinking of the consequences. And scored a miracle come from behind KO against a C level fighter.
I haven't been following the Haye vs Klitschko nonsense, but if that fight couldn't be made why not fight.
Alexander Povetkin
Ruslan Chagaev
Tony Thompson
Chris Arreola
Eddie Chambers
Odlanier Solis
Hell even fighting the Sam Sexton vs Dereck Chisora winner would be better.
Because nobody in the UK really knows who any of those are. Haye - Harrison will sell pretty big in the UK. And it's an easy fight. You know the drill.Quote:

Sad but true. It's not just Haye. A lot of fighters are the same. If i was in Haye's position, i'd probably take the Audley fight, knowing i can make a hell of a lot of money and i could beat him with one hand.Quote:

No I agree %100, however, Haye has been so sharp in his criticism of the Klitschko's and reckless with his mouth that bigger things were expected of him. He was the one who called himself bigger then Holyfield. He created this monster and yeah it may make money, but it's AUDLEY HARRISON. It's more then a joke. So yeah he's making money but because of his own mouth we are allowed to criticize him moreso then we would any other fighter. Plus you have his fans like Hornfinger and Lefty who go to the furthest possible extent to defend the guy and call Klitschko a bitch when the reality is just what you posted. That doesn't help things.Quote:

I don't defend haye. I mearly point out that you can't attack him or critisize him without attacking or critisizing the whole division. further more no one knows the truth or facts surrounding negotiations with recent opponants. It's all here say.
