[leftylee]

Looks like Haye has signed with Golden Boy and could be fighting Rahman next.

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.

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!!

He doesn't have to got to America.

The fights can be put on early-hours to suit American TV.

I very much doubt either HBO/Showtime will have much interest in haye-skelton fighting in britain possibly for the commonwealth title.

[hitmanhatton]

why would david haye be interested in the commonwealth title anyway

"And he wouldn't want to get in the way of the fantastic trilogy that's been served up to the British public with Williams, Skelton and Harrison."




please tell me thats tongue in cheek and im not very good at reading between the lines!!

[DatsiK]

Sounds like it Hatton, reading between the lines I think he's saying "Their nobodies compared to me".

He didn't wear down Mormeck or Fragomeni?

No he didn't wear down Mormeck he caught Mormeck with one shot that turned out his lights, wouldn't say he wore down Mormeck but Mormeck's stamina is also suspect. He did wear out Fragomeni but lets remember Skelton's style is made to wear opponents down in 2nd half of the fight, and because Skelton is much bigger physically it takes a lot of steam out of you when you have a big physcial boxer like Skelton leaning on you. Im not saying Haye can't wear down opponents but that isn't really his style he looks for one big shot to KO his opponents like he has done in majority of his fights. Like i said it will be interesting to see how Haye will cope should Skelton get Haye past the 6th round.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

you have to think that haye's speed and power will be to much for skelton, matts never had much grace, he's looked half decent at domestic level in there with an overweight williams, flabby john mcdermont, and stunk the place out with sprott........... haye would be nothing more then a good payday for him, hayes to good, skelton would get beat up

i've heard so much garbage from warren over the years, so many big fights that were soppused done only to never happen................. if harrison gets the shot against peter its a disgrace

The end was sudden but he spent 7 rounds smashing Mormeck with heavy shots, especailly to the body, which must have been beneficial to the finishing blows.. so I would class it as wearing him down

As for Skelton - I see your point, but Haye should (would) have too much skill and speed.

[Violent Demise]

Thought Haye made just under £1 million for Enzo?

Why cuz Warren said so?

[Bomp]

Skelton would be a decent fight for an opener, he could prove a point by beating him more comprehensively than Chagaev. Skelton doesn't really have the power or speed to bother Haye but you might get a good few rounds out of him, he's certainly as credible an opponent as Rahman is at the moment.

[Kev]

I would have loved to have seen Matt Skelton outbox and outwork David Haye.

Rahman sadly is virtually done these days, fat, slow and lethargic. Even Zuri Lawrence almost took him. Still he has made a habit of winning when not expected to whilst losing when expected to win.

Who knows, if he lands, maybe he could spark Haye, surely nobody will be cheering more wildly than myself for that to happen.
