David Haye: Can he live up to the hype?

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Agreed.

I also agree with Fenster.

I also concure

[BIG H]

I think he would get destroyed by Klitchko and I don't even rate Klitchko

I just see him getting koed when he fights a true decent heavyweight (there must be one out there)

[Danno]

Isn't it getting too close to November 15th to be naming a top 10 opponent?

And, when we say top 10 - what is this WBC, ring's top 10, an other organization?

[El Kabong]

He just needs to fight a solid heavyweight...I don't care where they are rated as long as they are good.

Oleg Maskaev
Hasim Rahman
Kali Meehan
Jameel McCline
Sergei Liakhovich
Eddie Chambers
David Tua
Vladimir Virchis
Tony Thompson
Matt Skelton


Anyone will do I just want him to fucking fight already, I'm tired of everyone trying to sell him to me.

[rjj tszyu]

I don't know what to vote for because I don't think he will be the greatest British fighter of all time. But I think he COULD make it to the top of the division without any setbacks. For me the only man who may beat him is Wlad but I am intruiged by a possible matchup between the two and wouldn't write Haye off!

[SigmaMu]

Considering how terrible the slob weight division is, he should do alright. Then again, maybe he will help stink up the division even more.

[ross]

I think he was hoping for Maskaev, although I thought it was Rahman but he said he was wanting a Wladamir clone and Oleg is quite close I spose and does have a high wbc ranking having only just lost it.

Maskaev was already down to fight a warm up opponent and Haye was probably hoping hed take a bit more cash but Maskaev knows he could get the guaranteed win (I dont rate Haye but Maskaev is washed up) and then a shot at a title with his name.

Why he was going to announce a fight that wasnt signed I dont know, hes made his set up look foolish, people like Waren will laugh at that.

[Otley]

Hopefully Haye will go all the way.....but im not sure if mentally he will be there....I think he already thinks he is champ before he has even fought anyone.....I have watched a few of his fights and yes is defence is rather leaky and he will eventually get found out....it will be fun to find out and he will give the division a bit of glamour and excitement whatever he does.

Also with the bulk of muscle he has added I think will obviously slow him down a tad and his chin will be questioned and when that happens we will witness a sensational knock out by most of the quality heavyweights who will soak up his relentless pressure and pop him with a peach of a uppercut.


Job Biscuit (Sorry Hayes but you are on borrowed time)!!!



eh eh!!!

[smashup]

I also agree...so we're all agreed then? Agreed

Does'nt really answer my initial question of how Lyle can possibly survive so long whilst living up Wlads bum
He's a big fella is Wlad so it must be fairly roomy........

[El Kabong]

Funny Smash.....call me crazy but I just think Wlad has experience amongst other things over David Haye who hasn't even had a heavyweight fight (to speak of) yet.

So Maskaev is a Wladimir clone Crazy

[ross]

Yeah, in so much as hes straight up good jab and right hand and has a few knockout losses

[El Kabong]

Unlike David Haye who just schooled an ancient Carl Thompson


Wlad WILL stomp a mudhole in David Haye's ass

[rjj tszyu]

Funny Smash.....call me crazy but I just think Wlad has experience amongst other things over David Haye who hasn't even had a heavyweight fight (to speak of) yet.

So Maskaev is a Wladimir clone Crazy

Must admit I was wondering how Maskaev was a Wlad clone!

[ross]

Hate to repeat myself but

Yeah, in so much as hes straight up good jab and right hand and has a few knockout losses

[Gandalf]

What hype? Haye hasnt done anything at heavyweight yet. All talk and and talk and talk some more. Haye has done nothing to threaten anyone yet.
