Why are people talking Fury-Haye now?

[TitoFan]

It's a huge fight. It's two English guys for the heavyweight championship and it'll make huge money in Britain. It'll make several times more than the cabbage farmer has ever made for a fight. Fury looks like he's going to duck Wilder as long as he can so his moneymaking future is fighting guys in English football stadiums on UK PPV.

I think Fury will avoid Haye/Wilder level guys as long as possible assuming he wins the rematch with the Kulak but if he manages to keep hold of the belts he'll have to fight Haye, Wilder or Povetkin at some point. He definitely doesn't fancy the Haye fight. From the way he was talking on Monday he's not looking to take any risky fights.

Two Englishmen fighting for the world heavyweight title is a huge deal indeed. I know this place would be buzzing. However, I have a problem with any fighter, not just Haye, feeling like he can just exist around the fringes of boxing, then come strutting in to get a title shot. It's absurd and a slap in the face to all the contenders who work toward actually earning their shots. About Fury ducking Wilder and Haye, I can't say since I haven't been all that exposed to Fury other than the Cunningham fight and now this one. He certainly made good on his word to rid us of Wlad. If Fury fought Wilder, for me it would be a tossup, and I'd be happy with any result as long as it was a good, entertaining, quality fight. If Fury fought Haye, I'd be rooting against Haye almost as much, if not more, as I was rooting against Wlad.

Haye is an ex world champion. If he looks good in his comeback fight then he's marketable. I'm not sure you can name anybody who has held the heavyweight title for any length of time who hasn't fought an ex champ who is on the fringes of the heavyweight scene, especially when it's a money fight. Haye is a credible and extremely lucrative dance partner for Fury.

I'm not sure the fight happens though because Fury's people are acting like a bunch of little girls about it -- we're not even going to talk to him, not going to mention his name and so on. I think they know that if they do make the fight Haye knocks him out easily.

As talented as Haye might be, it's his attitude toward boxing I can't stand. If he played Monopoly, he'd want to hoard a bunch of Get Out of Jail Free cards and go directly to GO to collect his $200. Just because he's David Haye. I say f*ck'im, no matter how a fight between and Fury would actually pan out. For the record, I have no problem imagining how Fury could actually lose to Haye, maybe even by knockout. All the more reason I don't want the fight. Let Haye earn his way back, first. In fact, should Wlad lose his rematch against Fury, I'd say have Wlad and Haye meet in a "loser retire" kind of fight.

It's professional boxing mate. It's money first second and third and everything else after that.
