David Haye: I'll Retire Vitali!!

[erics44]

everyone calling him a fraud, you tellin me you wont watch the build up and enjoy the hype and pay for the fight?

i bet you do

and i bet by the time the fight comes around you are as excited as me about it

doesnt sound like a fraud to me

[GAME]

Im actually gonna go against the trend in this thread and say good on ya David!

I feared he may just reire but he's proved he still has abit of pride left. Maybe he is just after the payday for retirement buit he still has to face Vitali to get in and thats a big risk.

Lets see how Vitali performs tonight but right now I give him no chance. Vitali is a monster and will beat Haye up worse than his younger brother did. Hope I'm wrong cuz David may be able to salvage his rep

It's interesting to read the posts defending Haye. Just goes to show that NOTHING is unanimous in the world of boxing.



My own opinion is that Haye IS a fraud. He might be a good fighter at his proper weight (cruiserweight), but he's still a fraud. Why? Let's face it... every fighter talks trash and believes he can win. But Haye's 180-degree turn was almost comical. He probably broke a few world records on trash-talking.... and then proceeded to turn in a pathetic effort that was just embarassing to watch. THEN... to top it off, he blames a broken toe. He never intended to put up a good fight. He just wanted to build up the event.

No matter how you slice it, the guy's a fraud. Oh... and will he get people to watch his next fight? Hell yes! 90% will watch in the hopes he gets his brains beat in. The other 10% will blindly believe the hype once again, and watch in hopes that Haye beats Vitali.

"Win-win" for the fraud.

It is funny, to see people still believing him and defending him. I mean hayes performance was the most negative of any of wlads opponents since sultans, which was just hilarious after all the trash talking he did.

Oh as for everyone NOW calling Haye a fraud.....I told you so! I told you guys YEARS ago!

[AdamGB]

Did you?! Your medal is in the post. Thanks for setting us straight, we wouldn't have noticed otherwise...

AHye is a good fighter who gave Wlad his hardest fight in years no one has damaged Wlads face bar Haye since Peter.

what in the world are u talking about? haye was pathetic in that fight, and didnt do shit to wlad.

[armin]

So hayes going to talk his way into a big fight yet again and get bunch of gullible folks believing his trash talk, fine whatever but I'm pretty sure vitali won't let him leave that ring on his own two feet.

[imp]

We all know haye is a wanker, but he has to fight vitali. That is his only option. And lets be real he is the only threat left in the heavys to the klits.

Haye was a great cruiserweight
But no one really likes that division.

He must take this fight or it has all been for nothing...imagine if he beats vitali!!??

[CFH]

I think Haye can beat Vitali or at least give him trouble. I said well before the Wlad fight that he was a much bigger threat to Vitali and I still feel that way.

[imp]

Vitali would be more prepared to fight which might create more openings for haye.

Vitali chin might not be solid as it was now compared to the fight with lennox so that gives haye hope.

But why would vitali need to fight haye? Stick to the same blueprint as your brother and stick to the jab.

I just don't see how Haye could get inside against vitali. He managed to against valuev, but he's a lot slower and not as skilled. Vitali is a well condionted athele and I think Haye would get worn down similar to that Adameck fight and lose a late stoppage. Haye showed in the wlad fight that he can't get on the inside
against a tall decent heavyweight. I think Vitali would punish him.

Agreed with this except I think haye would be far more defensive and just try to survive 12 like he did against wlad, not sure vitali would allow that to happen and yeah he'd get him out sooner or later.

[killersheep]

The only way I'd watch Haye fight Vitali is if they Played the Benny Hill sound track during the rounds every time he dives

I don't think anyone wants to see Haye come in to not get beat up and take a payday. What's the point?

The UK can develop another heavyweight surely.
