I sound like a fucking broken record but if Ruiz is seen as soft Harrison is a foooooking joke, like I keep saying Harrison has never beat a guy in the top 50, he has never even been British Champion. He was Euro champ by de fault it's a shame the Polish fella got a shot at Vitali Harrison would already have retired after being beat again.Quote:

Yes I suppose let him fight Audley and lets see if it's Klits next if not we should boycott the fucker for good.Quote:

@audley_harrison you have the chance to become the worst heavyweight champion in history - don't blow your chance! Actually throw punches.
No doubt he'll block me as well just like Floyd, Amir khan and David Haye all have. ;D
Hahaha!!Quote:

it could be great for british boxing but they have both had stamina issues in the past and they have both been to scared to get involved in the past so i just hope it aint another black eye for the sport and they really go at it. :cool:
I can't see it being a fight, I see Harrison doing what he usually does - backing off, not throwing anything and generally being scared. Then again, Haye is bound to be a bit cautious at the start as he's obvously seen that punch which knocked Michael Sprott the fuck out. Fully expect a quick KO though, within three rounds. Once Haye lands his first properpunch, he'll go in for the kill and it won't take long for Audley to fall on his arse. Then Haye will be mouthing off to Adam Smith how he is 'coming for the Klits'. ;DQuote:

It's obvious that haye has nothing to gain in this fight but absolutely everything to lose. From that point of view it's a silly fight to take.
And that's the issue right there. It's not that Haye is fighting yet another gimme opponent in Harrison, plenty of fighters do the same thing, it's that he's fighting yet another gimme opponent after talking all that shit about the Klitschko's, got everyone excited about the HW division for once, and then turned down multiple fights with them.Quote:

I know I'm of the minority but I am actually looking forward to this and I will pay for it. Hell, I would've gone to it if it was in a different venue as I've already watched Haye Vs Ruiz at The MEN. O2 would've been cool.
I doubt for a second Haye is proud of fighting Harrison but put yourself in his shoes:
Fight Harrison for $15m and then a Klit for at least $15m again
Or just fight the Klit for approx $15m ??
Everyone takes the first option, that's business. Haye WILL fight a Klit, he knows he has to or he'll forever be known as a joke. Even Booth has said this on record so you know Haye is more than aware.
He talked shit for over 2 years and then fights Monte Barrett, everyone said "Give him a pass, let him get accustomed to the division and extra weight"...he kept mouthing off and fought Nicolay Valuev "Let him win a belt so he can negotiate better with the Klitschko's", he kept on mouthing off and fought John Ruiz "Well he has to fight his mandatory", and up until recently he's been quiet and now he's fighting Audley Harrison and people STILL want to give him a pass "Let him build his fan base up in England...THEN he'll fight the Klitschko's".....I'm begining to think the likes of Barrett, Valuev, Ruiz, and maybe Harrison assuming Chicken Little can pass that "test" are the best fighters he can hang with at heavyweight...he MAY fight Adamek, (but I've heard rumors that Adamek has 1 more fight and then Vitali, but nothing is set in stone) but even then you really start to question his skill, his dedication, and his ethics....is he in fact white washing his career to make a fight vs a Klitschko look a lot closer than it will actually be?
SIGNS POINT TO YES
I doubt he ever fights a Klitschko and if he does he'll be humiliated...or his fans will be, I bet Chicken Little knows what's coming to him if he dares set foot in the ring with Wladimir.
Oddly enough I think fights vs Povetkin and Boytsov would be quality....if he has ANY trouble with Harrison then he should steer well clear of Dimitrenko and Pianetta
is it just me or did anytone else think harrison won that press conference? he really got under hayes skin;D
