Wladimir: Haye is the only fight I want now, not Peter,Povetkin or anyone

[Dave Hughey]

Wlad is saying he'll knock Haye out in the 12th round. I don't remember Wlad running his mouth for nothing in the past. I don't think he's doing it now. I think he means what he says and he is saying it to scare Haye and I think Haye better be scared.

My prediction: Wlad will keep his word. Wlad will punish Haye for 11 rounds then Knock him out in the 12th. Unless Haye sees the writing on the wall and quits first. I don't think Haye has the wind to last 12 rounds with someone beating on him, but I can imagine Wlad holding him up 'til the 12th round if Haye fags out on him.

Fighters as good as Ali and the Klits can predict rounds and get it right more often than not.

Can't believe those two appear in the same sentence??

LOLOL. I've seen what some posters on this thread think about today's hw division, i.e., the Klits' competition. I say the Klits' competition would compare favourably with any of the modern eras. (Let's not go back beyond the '70's, please.)

Ali is my hero, and always will be. But it helps in life if you try to stay somewhat in touch with reality. The athletes of today in all fields stand head and shoulders above those of the past. Heavyweight boxing is no exception.

Do you remember what people thought of Ali in his day? I do. It was much in line with what people on this forum think of David Haye. Most of the people in my part of the country wanted him in jail for dodging the draft.

So, let's watch and see if Klitschko canback up what he has said and "pull an Ali"

You got it arse backwards son. All of Froch's fights were shown on major TV stations untill the Super Six

well i remember plenty of you guys bitching that you weren't able to watch Taylor/Froch cause it wasn't being shown on any major station, had to end up watching it on streams

Correct. But Boxing in the UK is NOWHERE NEAR as strong as Boxing in the US. Plus it was more of a case that (I believe) ITV pulled the plug on Mick Hennesy the promoter not Carl Froch the fighter. More importantly, ITV have been pretty bad with their commitment to boxing at the best of times, anyway.

What Bilbo posted is right.

Anyway, your point was irrelevant and way off centre, so there

oh yea! well you smell like shit, SO HA!

[Dave Hughey]

Oh, and I remember back in Ali's day, to speak of him and Joe Louis in the same breath would have been heresy. My Dad would not have stood for that. LOL

Froch lives, fights, and is from England, yet before the Super Six his fights were rarely shown on TV, your point is?

That's just one fight. Every other Froch fight was shown on Sky/ITV. For every big fight there is you guys have to fork out $49.99 or however much it is to watch on PPV. Only PPV here is for Haye and Khan.

Taylor-Froch wasn't shown live, that was the problem. Because it was taking place at 4am UK time the TV company showed it primetime the next night. That's no good to most hardcore fans who naturally stayed up to watch streams.

Froch's Super-Six fight was PPV on a UK subscription channel that half the population doesn't have. That's why fans were pissed off with it. It wasn't worthy of PPV and even worse on a station no-one knew anything about.

You believe the out of shape Heavyweight contenders of today (Arreola, Chambers, Peter etc...) compare favourably with the Heavies of the past?

[Master]

To keep the belts you have to fight the mandatories who pay the corrupt organisation back handers from their promoters and managers otherwise they sue the organisation. Corrupt boxing and boxing fans get shite fights with the Klits beating up fighters no one wants to see, even the Klit brothers.

I really think that is utter crap. Heavyweight boxing is perhaps the ONLY exception, and a very glaring one.

[Galaxy]

Back to the topic, good on Wlad! He's got the Ring belt & the Saddo Championship that's all that matters!!! Throw the piece of sh*t trinket in the trash & don't worry about being stripped.

The Haye fight is the fight I want to see & if the alphabet idiots are going to stand in the way of Haye fighting either Klitschko then bugger them, they don't have to be apart of it. No one is gonna miss them!!!

For the record Haye loses to both brothers, but I still want to see the fights!!!

[piye]

It's funny how American fight fans have flip flopped on this; I mean I remember everyone hating the Klitscho brothers ad now all of a sudden a british challenger with an exciting style and a big mouth comes along and the Klits are now hero's and Better than Ali. Wow, national bias is pathetic the thing is if an awesome american heavy like tyson or Holyfield came along I would support him. I mean it's really sad to think about because in reality when you think about it Haye is great! big mouth and all action in the ring and he has achieved just about as much as you can in 25 fights unifying one division and winning a title in another. I mean the Klits are good fighters who desserve credit but no one can deny the hatred for them here before.

[El Kabong]

Oh, and I remember back in Ali's day, to speak of him and Joe Louis in the same breath would have been heresy. My Dad would not have stood for that. LOL

...I still don't stand for it! 25 successful title defenses is I think the #1 acheivement in the heavyweight division followed by Rocky's record and then Ali/Holyfield winning the title 3 times.


piye, GOD you Brits are fucking annoying with your "Why don't Americans like our mouthy prissy ass British fighters?" ....I didn't like Naz, I had nothing against Hatton just his God awful fans, I knew Audley was nothing just judging by his age when he won the gold medal, and the guy you're talking about right now is just a yellow bellied chickenshit bastard! I don't HAVE to like the bastard and I knew from the get go I wasn't going to like him and him being British has fuck all to do with it....he could be from the US and I wouldn't like him (like Zab Judah) or he could be from the fucking moon and I wouldn't care for him.....it's not all about England!!!! WE DON'T CARE!!!!


Wlad is on a mission and if he ever gets this fight he's going to PUNISH this guy. It's going to be brutal!

And you idol a British football team ?

[El Kabong]

And you idol a British football team ?

So you can see I'm not anti-England....thanks for helping me further prove my point that the fighter whom I don't like has nothing to do with him being from England and everything to do with him being a "busta" as the kids call the faux/wannabe gangsters these days.

That one statement proves to me that you've never really listened to Haye, apart from in post fight interviews.
He is not, by any stretch of the immagination, a gangster wannabe.

Trust me, if he was like that, he'd be about as popular as a fart in a space suit with the majority of white, working class boxing fans in the UK.

He's a good guy who knows what to say to get the press interested. FFS even Wlad is doing it now.

[TheMacMagician]

Haye and the Klitschkos are in league with each other man, there is no doubt in my mind. One or the other fight will happen for sure. The Klitschko IMO are well aware of the kind of finances at stake with the fight. If they can make the money they do fighting out of shape crusierweights / Light Heavies then the money on show against Haye will be spot on.

I would absolutely love to see Haye win though, unfortunately, the Klits are true Heavyweights, or even Super HW and I reckon after seeing all fail lately that Haye would struggle to get anywhere near inside to land. I don't remember Arreola, SafetyPin Johnson or Chambers get anywhere close to landing clean effective shots.
