    Does Haye really think he is the savior of the heavyweight division? Being exciting is one thing but if he wants to survive at heavyweight he'd better learn something more about defense.

    I wouldn't mind seeing him fight Brock or a top 15 heavyweight or something but he shouldnt be talking like he is already the best heavyweight on the planet when he hasn't proven it.

    How do you decide which fighters you're gonna obsessively hate or love and go on and on and on and on about? Is there a system or is it a random thing? Its kind of a random thing with me.

    1. Zab Judah or anyone who's faced Zab Judah is 10 times better then you say they are. As is Zahir Raheem.

    Just look at the Jaime Rangel fight, and look at how well Rangel has done against guys like Timothy Bradley, Emmanuel Augustus. Just goes to show that if Zab had fought everyone else with the same focus that he had against Rangel......Pineda would have gotten fucked up Brooklyn style son.

    You know I was just thinking, remember the Derrick Gainer-JMM fight and the way Gainer exposed JMM's lack of ability coming forward. That was great. So under appreciated.

    I'm a Cotto fan, he's even in my signature but what's his excuse for not fighting Clottey?

    and Zab was hurt against Pineda and I knew Baldomir was a bad stylistic matchup for Zab.

    Now I will attempt to redirect the conversation.

    I don't have a system. Some fighters I like some fighters I don't like any boxing fan.

    I think Haye is good, but i'm not gonna pole jock on him just because he is a knockout hitter.

    Just because I have an negative opinion about a certain thing the boxer does doesnt mean I'm gonna bias myself if I think he is gonna win or lose. I appreciate all fighters but when people talk up themselves before they've accomplished anything at that weight then I can not like them. Sure if he proves himself thats good. But he has a long way to go in the heavyweight division before he acts like he's calling the shots.

    But there's no criteria to who and who I don't like, different strokes for different folks. I may think a boxer is good but that doesn't make me a fan. So I speak openly what I think about them. I don't mind what he said about Warren, I just mind that he acts like he calls the shots at heavyweight already when he hasn't done anything. No one else seems to want to focus on "what" i was saying as to who I was saying it about.

    But did that answer your question?

    He's just trying to create excitement, as far as calling out Wlad and all that.

    Nothing wrong with creating some excitement and noise in a pitifully boring heavyweight division is there?

    As far as who you like, I wasn't being too serious, I could care less who you or anybody likes or dislikes on here.
