It seems David Haye is committed to making this fight.....but for wanting this fight RIGHT NOW he should BE committed.


Haye is no Evander Holyfield....and Wlad has never really been pissed off by anyone that I recall....I don't think it's wise idea though

Wladimir pissed off could be a really scary sight...that guy can hit like a bus.

[cpcompany]

Klitschko is right here though. Haye is an unknown quantity at this weight. If Haye was to fight 2 fringe contenders and win convincingly I am sure that it would become a big money fight. After all, who else is out there at heavyweight?

[El Kabong]

That's very true...with Sam Peter having a poor showing IMO vs Maskaev and Sultan Ibragimov not doing anything vs Wlad and Valuev and Chagaev thinking they are in some other division and not mingling with the other GOOD heavyweights....if Haye is able to beat say a Golota, Rahman, or a Shannon Briggs he'd be a great fight for Wlad.


Honestly I would want Haye to win a title before they fight so it could be a unification fight but as long as Haye is on the way up it's all good.

I just think Haye HAS to beat a big puncher at heavyweight before he will be able to CONTEND against Wladimir. I mean sure as hell can fight everyone else and all other styles and FIGHT Wlad but to actually have a shot he's going to have to get past a puncher.


If I'm Wlad I go for the KO from the moment the bell rings, no waiting around for Haye to come to you, he's talked too much to allow him any time in the spotlight.

[JT Rock]

Its no secret to anybody that I dont Like Wlad as a fighter but I definetly respect his class... As much as I am a Haye fan that confrontation lacked any class whatsoever..

I found this this Quote quite gracious despite the tyrade of Haye.

"I understand he is young and enthusiastic but I am committed to my mandatory defence against Tony Thompson and I'm focusing on that."

It's going to be fun watching Haye get splattered on the canvas

[Fenster]

It's going to be fun watching Haye get splattered on the canvas

That's the best thing about Haye.

Win or lose it's fun.

[Violent Demise]

It's going to be fun watching Haye get splattered on the canvas

Yes indeed it will be. I actually like Haye. But I think Wlad is going to hurt the boy.

[Mark TKO]

Haye should fight a few of the others first before messing with Haye or Peter.

Apart from those two I would fancy him against any of the other top ten.

But those two are just tooooooo big for him I feel

Would love to see it mind

[El Kabong]

Haye would beat Sam Peter and maybe even stop him because his punches are shorter, he has faster hands, and he throws hooks and Sam Peter doesn't like the hooks

[:::PSL:::]

I can't wait to make a sig bet with you on this Lyle.

I hope this fight happens sooner than later.

[leftylee]

Me and Mick got a sig ready on this. Haye will knock slapper out.

[El Kabong]

I see Haye's fans are just as delusional as he is

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
Q: Who does this type of stuff?
1 - Successful UK fighters like Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton

-OR-

2 - Shit UK fighters like Audley Harrison and Junior Witter


You can tell by the way David Haye is acting he's trying to cover up something people always are. He can know Wladimir's flaws inside and out and he is still going to have to work his ass off to win, which he's simply not going to do.

Haye got knocked down versus Mormeck with a left but I'm having a hard time remembering if he was hurt or not and I didn't write whether or not he was. Mormeck is a decent power puncher especially at cruiserweight but nothing compared to Wlad even though Wlad spends more time pawing with his left and knocking his opponents glove down rather then throwing it with power all the time.

Haye also likes to hold the left hand low and try to roll with right hands. He can roll perfectly with a Wlad right hand, it doesn't matter he isn't going to be able to eat Wlad right hands and stay upright.

The good news is he has considerable power himself and I believe that power will carry. No reason not to. And if he fights Wlad he will be the busiest fighter Wlad has ever seen and he won't be scared of Wlad. The only guy not to be tentative in the ring with Wlad lately was Peter and he was able to find Wlad with power.

It's a GREAT fight. I wouldn't mind seeing it made for tomorrow.
