David Haye Approaches Kevin Johnson For 11/15 Fight - Boxing News

What do you guys think?

I noticed how they are giving David a guy who cant punch!! But his record looks decent enough for his first fight, i would of prefered a guy with a bit more about him in the power stakes like a Rahman or Barrett. But overall i think not the worst opponent. Aslong as he steps it up again in his next fight.

This is gonna make him look silly after the huge claims it would 100% be a ranked top 10 Heavy!!
From what i can gather everyone Hayemaker have approached has priced themselves out of it (or so we're told)
Seems a decent challenge and he is a skilled fighter who's tall and quick but poses no real KO threat so if this happens and he does manage to get Haye on wobbly legs at some stage we'll be able to measure Hayes chances of ever winning a title a lot better,which won't be looking too good if we're honest.

That's a reasonable pick. He's decent enough fighter to be a yardstick for Haye. It won't tell us if Haye has any chin, but if he knocks him over like a tomato can, it portends well for him.

If his next fight after this is not against a real top HW, we should ridicule him heavily.

sounds like a winnable fight for haye. but kevin is undefeated and young and has a pretty decent jab if he can take haye into the late rounds he might pull it off just dont go toe to toe with haye cause he will get knock tha hell out

[littlebif]

He mite of watch the Khan fight and fought i better not end up like him so ill fight a weak puncher

[Spicoli]

Johnsons and Hayes cocky attitude's combined will be worth the ticket price.Johnson does not seem to commit himself coming forward but can fight off the backfoot very well with fast hands and box abit,solid jab. I'm still thinking Haye should go in against an Oleg Maskaev type........"Name" with title lineage and it would seem right now,there for the plucking ??

Kevin Johnson is young and undefeated and carries a Top 10 ranking (7th with the WBA).

I'm pretty pleased with Johnson as the opponent and he'll provide a good test for Haye.
