Warren offers Haye skelton bout

[HattonTheHammer]

So I guess this means Harrison fights Peters, if it isn't a load of crap like hitman says. I think if the harrison that messed Danny williams up in 3 rounds turns up he stands a good chance.

Anyway, I think Haye will KO skelton, but it'll be boring to watch up untill the KO, as is the case with all of skeltons fights.

skelton will give haye way more problems than he actually needs at this stage.

not only is he very good at making his opponent look ordinary he is actually a half decent grappler who knows how to grind out a result.

My fear is if showtime/HBO for some reason decide to take this fight on and haye goes chasing a spectacular knockout which he wont get!!

Dont know why but this makes sense to me. Matt skelton...despite being unbrearable to watch.He does know how to win a fight, and is probably the best in britian, mightaswell start small and move up.

On the other hand if hasim rahman is on cards, go for broke.

[Tysonbruno]

This fight would be a step backwards he needs a well known name Hasim Rahman is said to be Hayes choice that sounds a better fight to me.I think Warren is just bitter and wanting one of his men to beat Haye because Haye smashed up his boy Enzo

I know people may laugh at this but i give Skelton reasonable chance in this one, Haye's stamina has never been that good, so if Skelton can apply his rough tough style on Haye to good effect he has a chance to wear him down in the 2nd half of the fight and could stop him. Plus Skelton has always shown a pretty good chin so he could out last the early onslaught smothering Haye etc.

PS how the hell did that smiley face get above my post i didn't put it there huh ??

Skelton is pretty one dimensional IMO, we seen him box a little against Williams 2 but apart from that fight he is just a brawler, I fuly expect Haye to wear Skelton down for a late stoppage.

Haye isn't the type of fighter that wears fighters down for the simple reason his stamina just isn't that good. Skelton's style is built on wearing fighters down to take over in the 2nd half. I would like to see how Haye would cope with the rough style of Skelton should Skelton get him past 6th round.

He didn't wear down Mormeck or Fragomeni?

As said the reasons for haye not to take this on are endless, he would now be much better off relocating to america and working his way up through the ranks there rather than fight a couple of bums over here and then get a world title shot cast upon him.

America will love haye that im sure of. cocky, arrogant and packs a hell of a punch.

Whats the point in seeing him beat on ordinary british heavyweights when he can be over in america doing the ground work towards a mega fight with klitschko!!

iT WOULD BE INTERESTING FROM A FANS POINT OF VIEW.
Haye could well blow Skelton away , or he may be worn down by Skeltons brawling tactics as ICE says.

Personally i think Skelton is an average fighter , but he holds a ranking which is a good reason to take the fight for Haye.

Id go for a KO win inside 6 for Haye.
