Haye vs Chisora. will it happen?

[Slim the BoxingManiac]

haye has heart

I'm sorry. What David Haye do you know? Because we're talking about a different fella, I suppose. Because David Haye's only notable opponent was Wladmir Klitschko. And boy, didn't he show heart?

If bitching about your toe shows heart, I don't even know the sport of boxing anymore.

unfortunately man you are another who is clouded by your hate for haye

i dislike boxers but i dont let these feelings get in the way of my judgement of their skills

What other side is there than what he's shown us? The side where he looks good against sub-par opponents? Don't give me that bullshit.

was he not the unified cruiser champ? did he not win the title away from home? was he not hw champ? did he not win the title away from home?

was he not willing to fight wlad in wlads boxing home? did he not give up all the advantages in the fight?

he has heart, i can see why you hate him, but be realistic

He was the Cruiserweight Champion, sure. But the cruiserweights have limited competition, as do the heavyweights.

But, no. He was not the Heavyweight Champion. Maybe on paper, he was, but he didn't beat either of the two best heavyweights.

He didn't have any advantages when fighting Wlad. We sure thought he did, but he truly didn't. When you come to lose, you don't have any advantages what so ever.

Fortunately all the Haye accomplishments pale into insignificance by his Audley farce and Wlad toegate performance.

I can understand how the wlad performance and the toe thing can make people think the way they do, but lets put that in perspective, how did wlad do in his first world championship fight?

How long was it before wlad fought away from home in a world championship fight?

The audley fight was a farce, the worst i have ever seen in boxing, i knew it would happen too, as did the majority of boxing fans. BUT david haye made more money out of that fight than he would have in any other fight barring the klits in germany, do you reall blame haye for that?

Yes. You really can blame Haye for that. If he made that money working hard and taking money from an employer, that's all good and well. But he didn't. He made money off of boxing fans, and then robbed them of a decent performance. Of course you can blame him for that.

Well you have to give him some credit, he won the hw title in his second or third hw fight


And i dont know if there are many fighters would turn down 10 million to fight audley instead of maximum 1 million to fight someone like areola ( first name that came to mind as a major contender of the time)

And does it really sum up hayes hw career or does it sum up the hw division? Look who wlad is fighting this weekend

He gets no credit for not being a true champion. He is a con man that isn't even good enough to fool everybody. He needs lessons from Hopkins.

Greed is no excuse for being a terrible fighter. And yes, it sums up his heavyweight career. Wlad is fighting Mormeck because he doesn't really have many other options. Wlad can't fight Vitali, and he can't fight himself. He's earned his spot as the heavyweight champion. You can't just come in, not fight the best, and then have a spot as a heavyweight champion. It shouldn't work that way, and we need to shun that way of thinking in general.

Cruiser Weight champ, yes but that is still many rungs down the ladder from being HW champ.

Heavy Weight champion, only just in name he avoided the two biggest fighters Wlad and Vitali
Only later to be outclassed by Wlad in both the press conferences and the fight.

Even Buster Douglas, beat the undisputed HW champion, something Haye has never done.

avoid wlad and vitali yet he fought wlad? in his boxing home?

and haye doesnt have it because he didnt equal the single biggest upset in hw boxing history?

cummon man you can do better than that cant you?

He talked crap for years before stepping into the ring with Wlad. And he gave a very very poor performance.

I could have put on a more entertaining fight than Haye did. Haye didn't earn anything.

Well you have to give him some credit, he won the hw title in his second or third hw fight

It's ok to like Haye. He's actually exciting if and when he comes to fight. But you gotta rake him over the coals for his performance against Wlad. Not only was it disgraceful... it was downright disrespectful to the boxing fans who paid money to see the fight. If you're gonna talk the talk... you gotta at least make SOME effort to walk the walk.

mate i dont particularly like him as a person, and yes he deserves all of the abuse he gets for that performance

but my point is people are being daft about his skills because the dont like him

read a couple of posts above from boyla, its a typical example of a completely irrational post fueled by his hate for haye

i read in another thread someone writing chisora's performance against vitali proves that chis would beat haye? how does it? if the two were to fight only a fool would put money on chisora

Than count me a fool. Because Haye doesn't have the guts to stick it in with a fighter like Chisora.
