That was yet another series of honest, respectable answers from an obvious realist.

Anyone would think Haye just said he's better than Ali, Liston and Lewis, Cooper was a bum and refused to accept Solis beat him. He showed the utmost respect to all those guys.
If you feel like I am biased against Haye, for the last time, you are wrong. I am not a fan of certain boxers, but I'm not anti-Haye. I do believe his heavyweight stardom is a bit premature and that he gained a lot of his recognition from talking trash about the Klitschko's before he ever actaully stepped into the ring with one of them. However, for the most part, I don't single Haye out as worse than anyone else. Moreover, in the instant situation, hopefully Haye will build up a big heavyweight boxing match, which regardless of the outcome really, is good for the sport.

The point of this thread for me was to see how many times over the course of three months Haye denigrates his opponent. Over the last year and a half, he has repeatedly put down Wlad and Vitali, even when he is signed up to fight someone else. Now that he is finally set to fight one of them, I believe that his trash talking will reach astronomical levels. So far, he has proven my hypothesis correct, we are three months away (it's in June) from the fight and he is already talking heaps of rubbage about the Klitschkos.

The fact that he said he's "gonna smash Wlad all over the shop" constitutes trash-talking. Accordingly, it merits inclusion in a thread entitled "Haye Crap-Talking Thread."
OK, you just wanted to count how many times Haye says he's gonna beat a Klit?

Here's a bold prediction - from now until the end of their fight he will say it about 1 million times. Just like from now until the end of their fight, Wlad will say he will punish Haye 1 million times.

If you are waiting for either to pronounce their love for the other you have a long wait. Hope this helps.
