I'd think you'd be happy to see David Haye making a lot of noise and attracting attention Lyle. I mean, he is bringing fans and attention to a division that needs it...and if Vitali knocks his head clean off, with all the hype leading into it, I would think that would help legitimize the Klitschko's to the general boxing public.
I think it is win win for the HW division. I too don't think he is ready for Vitali and will lose...but I think the HW division is ready for him.
YoungBlood, I think you expect that when Vitali KO's Haye that it will mean that Vitali will get respect... that sadly is not the case.
Haye fans will make excuses for him, "he wasn't ready yet" etc.
If David Haye worked his way up to a title shot THEN Vitali would get credit for hammering him into the canvas...but that's not the case.
Audley has never fought anywhere remotely close to top opposition and has never hinted at wanting to, yet continues to run his mouth as if he is something special..Quote:

You talk about Haye not earning a shot yet Vitali gets straight into a title fight after a 4 year absence? Rahman gets a title fight after a win over someone with 8 wins, a win over someone with 12 loses, and a no contest with Toney.. hardly what I call title shot deserving.
#1 Vitali was named WBC Emeritus Champion therefore giving him the shot
#2 Rahman only fought Wlad because Povetkin got hurt and Wlad wanted to keep the date and Rahman was I guess the only guy willing to step up. Also out of respect for Rahman being so cool about when Vitali hurt his back he was given a chance to earn some big money.
If you want David Haye to damage his career then fine by my, all I'm saying is Evander Holyfield prepared himself to fight for titles and once he got to his title shots he won....we'll see what Haye does
I'am a Haye fan i respect he wants to take on the best and he is doing by fighting Vitali.But i would be in total disbelief if he was to win.
So what your saying is that you rather have the Klitschko's fight weak no name opposotion the rest of their careers.. I mean I think haye is more legitimate than Valuev, since you have made it known he is a bum and Arreola who would probably knock himself out with his own man boob..Quote:

I still feel Haye sparks Wlad out, beating an old Rahman shows absolutely nothing in terms of Wlad, he remains still untested against a fast nimble figher with just as solid as a punch as he has
The Klitschkos have not dodged anyone and many of the last few fighters W has faced were in the ring top ten when he KO'ed them. V came out of retirement and took on the number 2 HW and made him quit.
There is no way Haye KOs either brother...Once he feels the thuding jab and one right cross he is going to shell up a bit and take a nice beating over the next 4-5 rounds until he catches one on the chin....and then it's good nite sweet heart well its time to go......
I have no problem with Haye getting a shot at either brother, I mean he did prove himself at cruiser...I just feel by him taking this fight he will have a short lived career...
I rewatched the Peter and Rahman fights and those jabs the brothers throw have to be some of the hardest jabs ever thrown....
oh man is haye crazy or stupid? ;D
I think haye is full of it, if he thinks going after vitaly right away is a smart move then he needs to have his head check. his just going to look like a loudmouth after vitaly knock his ass out and then whats next for his career? Haye should seriously considering pulling out of this fight, his going to have a reality check when his in the ring with vitaly. It wont be pretty and he will learn the hard way. I think Haye is just despret for attention, his an ok fighter but his not that impressive. oh well its always nice to see a loudmouth get pummel by a cool guy like vitaly :cool:
Haye is gonna get pounded into a bloody pile.
What I am saying is that Haye needs to be prepared when he fights Vitali or Wlad just because if he isn't (and he isn't) then he's no different than the so called bums you're talking about although those guys bar Rahman earned their shots. The Klitschko's don't duck anyone....look at the guys fighting for the WBA belt, THOSE GUYS duck everyone with a pulse in the division......Valuev, Ruiz, Chagaev, Holyfield....those guys don't stand a chance in the real worldQuote:
