David Haye is here

...Oh how I wish we had another overhyped heavyweight, I don't think Audley Harrison or Sam Peter disappointed us enough

Well Lyle, thank God we've got Wladimir Klitskcho and his neverending and boring "madatory" title defenses against lackluster opponents to fill that void.

Haye's pencilled in for a fight in november, hopefully he'll show all you haters then

What you guys have to remember all the mouthing off before even fighting gets on my nerves too, but Haye's a businessman, he needs to keep himself in the media etc.

That is all well and good, but a lot of the same guys on here who whine and moan about guys like Mayweather talking are the same ones who say it is ok for Haye to do it. Mad double standard.

Yeah i agree with what your saying, good point. All the talk does my head in too, but it gets the boxers back in the paper/magazines/websites etc keeping them in the public eye. Suppose thats what we gotta understand.

Wish Haye would hurry up and get an opponent though!!

Haye's an awesome fighter. I love watching him. Devastating at times.

Hulk correct me if I'm wrong but Wlad does want to unify AND he's taken steps to do so. Ray Austin, Tony Thompson, and Povetkin have been/are his mandatories and he's forced to fight them or relenquish the belts. Sultan Ibragimov was a unification fight...sorry it was boring but Sultan is a southpaw and Wlad is getting better at fighting those guys (after 2 consecutive fights vs southpaws).

Mandatories are a pain but they are mandatories for a reason, to give guys who have "earned it" title shots. Mandatories can be swayed by $$$ and it has happened and will happen again...and being a mandatory doesn't mean they are great fighters to watch it means they earned their shot.

It's just the game of boxing

Fair enough. Mandatories are always a pain in the ass.

Wlad should be taking them outta there though, and his last two times out he has been very lackluster.
