I stand by my accusation of fraud.

But surely you have to wait until the fight is a definite no-go to come to that conclusion. For instance, if Haye was to retire tomorrow...
Running his mouth off about how he's going to beat the Klitschko's is exactly what's keeping him in the limelight. He's a smart guy. It's a necessity for him to do that if he wants to sell out Arena's in the UK. Look at the difference between the Monte Barrett fight and the John Ruiz fight. They had to give tickets away for the Barrett fight and the attenddance was still less than 10k. The Ruiz fight sold out the MEN. The Harrison fight will also sell out.
The competition has stayed the same, but the tickets are selling. Now this is because Haye is a British, World Heavyweight champion, and because he's consistently very publicly called out the Klitschko's which does wonders for selling tickets. It increases interest in him and he knows that. So rather than say he is a fraud, i'd say he is actually pretty astute.
haye will always sell well ticket wise because he backs up his flashy attitude in the ring
i like the guy as a fighter but what constantly bugs me about him is that he speaks of himself as some established pro who has seen the world and back when in reality he is coming up to 30 and has barely 20+ fights to his name.
Nikolay valuev is his biggest scalp to date - that says a lot about how untested he has been
one dangerous horrible bloke
