I don't understand why the HAYTERS find this so hard to understand. It won't happen this time around with the backing of SKY anyway.

---

The Vitali fight was backed by SKY.

---

Yeah the Vitali fight I don't quite understand... One minute he was fighting Vitali, the next he was fighting Valuev!
I guess he just wanted the easier fight 1st ???

I'm not sure if the OP's intent was to mislead but that statement was a response to a question about Shannon Briggs.....

Booth was responding to a question about Brigs calling out Haye and saying That Haye shouldn't waste his time with the Klits.

To which Booth responds "Briggs must be too far gone to come out with a statement like that.........We are not considering anything or any opponents at the moment....None whatsoever....We want to let everything settle.....” bla bla bla

Jesus christ, the guy has fought 4 fights in two and half years but he needs rest?? I thought he wants out by the time he is 31?

Getting very boring this, needs to sort out a fight with the Klits no doubt they are waiting for them both to be tied up then they will come out with the Klits didn't want any of David Haye, fuck your rest sort the fight out for late summer/Autumn then have your fucking rest!!!!

I think where in the age of modern boxers, where they think they have fought a lot if they fight more than twice a year. In the old days Sugar Ray Robinson fought 19 times in one year in 1950...19 times in one year !!!!

Sugar Ray Robinson - Boxer

And the fights were a lot harder in them days than they are now.

---

Ain't that the truth!!!! Like you said some of those fights were tough!! Not todays tough either...Career ending tough....

So Hornfinger just give it a rest

You're just jealous of David Haye because he's good looking and British! lol

Wasnt that the response he was giving people that criticize Haye?:vd:
;D

---

Well no one has come up with any real explination to dislike him.

What's worse, me saying 'You're just jealous of David Haye because he's good looking and British!' Or you fuckers actually hating on him because you're just jealous of David Haye because he's good looking and British?

Truth hurt gentleman? I think so.

The klits are top of the pile, haye has done more than any of the fat bums in the division to earn a shot. Will he beats the klits who knows, I don't. But I will back him when he does fight them.

I am absolutely amazed that there are people on here that claim to be knowledgeable boxing fans yet seem completely oblivious to the notion of spin.

Any fan of boxing knows the negotiations to huge fights never go smoothly. fighters winding each other up and getting pissed off with each other is part and parcel of the sport and has been going on for years.

Adam Booth giving the whole 'Haye needs a break' is just more spin. Does everyone on this site believe everything they read? It's more mind games, nothing more nothing less. I find it funny, almost as funny as lyle touting kirk johnson.

I personally think Haye vs klit will be announced before the end of next month.

---

very good points. im not sure about the klit fight being announced in the next month but it will happen. negotiations mean money not cowardice. haye is hot property at the moment and the world knows it. whether he beats the klitschkos or not doesnt matter at the mo. he brings a belt to the table

You are obviously unfamiliar with the negotiations and mind games in boxing.
