David Haye should fight a top HW next, not old Shannon Briggs

[ross]

Haye is ridiculous and so are his fans.

Getting excited over his last two fights. Be honest would this cobra have got out of the first round with Fury, Klitschko, Wilder, Joshua, Parker etc? I doubt it.

Haye is in this just for the money obviously and I suppose fair play to him. But it does grate listening to idiots who think he could beat Fury. If he really thought that himself he had two chances already and wouldnt be fighting such shit opponents now.

Briggs is a godsend for him. Promotes himself, slow, old and unfit and most importantly a ranking.

There are not many more fighters he would risk it against now in the rankings. Molina and Duhaupas have just proved that even good journeymen are still dangerous.

I'm good with it since it will shut one of these two clowns up. Neither is a legitimate threat or contender right now, in my opinion. Come to think of it, both fighters were similar in that both could punch and looked the part, but fell apart against the best big men (both had stamina issues as well).

I really don't think anyone is getting excited about Haye. There are some who think he would beat Fury, but that's because they don't rate Fury that much. There is a difference.
And I also think that of the names you posted, apart from Joshua, that guy probably would've have got out of the first round , because none of the others are particularly Heavy handed seek and destroy merchants, but it's pretty irrelevant cos the guy was shit.
You're right about all Haye is looking for is the money, and I'm not sure he believes he can be a champion.
He'll fight Briggs in a bullshit hype match up which will be some sort of crappy "semi final eliminator " then he'll have to fight someone with a pulse for a final eliminator and depending on how that goes , we see what happens .
If he wants to be a World Champion and is serious about, I think he should start chasing Wilder rather than Joshua.
But after what I've seen so far, this comeback may not get that far as I'm not sure he has the patience.

Haye should be ashamed of himself for beating this old joker up. Fair play to Briggs for clowning himself into a payday - I like him - but he's got a one round punchers chance then will get knackered and become a punch bag until he quits.

Ridiculous to think this fossil gave Lennox Lewis a decent fight in the 90s (in very brief patches)

I have said that from the very start and never changed my opinion about him. I think he has some pretty decent talent truth be told, but he has no desire to be the best he only has a desire to not get knocked out and that will only take you so far.


David Haye could have been a lot better than what he is and what he is, is a part time boxer and full time asshole

[IamInuit]

Not sure what people saw. David Haye looked like his skills, speed etc had eroded completely. If that Haye fights Briggs he will get smashed.

To put Hayes win in perspective...

Hayes opponent was taken 7 rounds by Briggs opponent.

That would be hilarious!

Why all the hate for David Haye?

David has come back from a career threatening and serious injury. He was out of boxing for a number of years so he is taking easy fights back. He is fighting quite regularly and slowly building up momentum.

Briggs is an ideal next opponent because he is a big name, ranked and easy to beat. David Haye will take on the better fighters 2017 but the main thing for him was to test his shoulder, not get injured, fight regularly and win with big crowds. He has done all that and everything is going according to plan.

Haye is in it for the long term, otherwise he could have tried to cash out but Joshua is still a bit green, Fury hates him and will not fight him, Wilder has to fight Povetkin. Realistically Haye could win the other trinket but he is keeping all his options open which is smart.

If Haye was smart he wouldnt have blown his money and be here now.

Also, Whyte has just had the same surgery as Haye and is fighting In June this year, not June 2019

He is not the first fighter to become broke and will not be the last. He is earning a lot now and hope he invests it better this time around.

This doesn't make sense mate. How do you suggest that he could possibly "Cash Out."? he has no choice but to work his way back and make himself credible. You've even written above reasons why he wouldn't be able to Cash out. He has no Fucking choice!
I like Haye, but people have to understand that all he is doing is earn as much money as he possibly can . It's not about titles, It's not about being the best , it's about earning as much as he can, as quickly as he can . if he can con a few people into thinking he's there for the duration and he's "Quicker, faster.stronger than he's ever been and his Timing is spot on", then more fool them .
I don't have a major problem with it because I'm not putting a single penny his way, and I don't feel mugged off, because I know what I expect , but other people have to realise this.
It's a bit like people feeling robbed when Floyd fought Manny because they thought it would be this amazing fight! It was always going to be what it was and as long as you realise this and don't expect unrealistic shit to happen, it's fine.

You aren't looking for an answer, are you?

[Spicoli]

Can't decide which of the two has Donald Trumped his way into a big payday more Because both have done next to nothing in six years and are about five removed from being clowned and tamed by a Klitschko. If they make this it's one of those circus acts and Briggs wins all around while Haye beats up a photogenic weezing geezer who really never could box. Haye should aim higher and stay current.
