Rahman: Bring on Haye !!!!!

[Wayne]

Haye would whip his ass three ways from Thursday and twice on Saturday.

Rahman is easy after you get him tired. It really depends on how hard you can make him work. Against Tua (2nd fight), Rahman was fat, but light on his feet and had enough to last 12 rounds easy. Against Maskaev (1st and 2nd fight) he had to work and got tired. Now if Haye thinks he can just clear him out he jumps on him, but what if his power can't get rid of Rahman? To my knowledge, Lennox is the only one to clear Rahman out without him being tired first.

Rahman will lose unless he KO's the Hayemaker in 1

Give Lyakhovich a shot. He will prevail against Haye.

I think Haye will ultimately fall short at heavyweight. Put him in there with Toney and be done with this nonsense. Seriously.

You know I do. Haye can beat Rahman and he can beat the likes of Maskaev. He will have fits against Toney though. Toney is one decent fight off of a crack at a belt and I think Haye is the perfect build up fight for it. Of course, I want Toney to fight Haye. He would make Haye look stupid. Not that it takes much.

To be honest i haven't been impressed with James Toney in a long time he was outboxed by someone like Samuel Peter now ask yourself does Samuel Peter have the skills of David Haye or the speed etc ? Samuel Peter is a slow plodding Heavyweight.........

I didn't see James Toney against Hasim Rahman but i did see his last fight before that and he looked utter rubbish and couldn't lift the pace i used to enjoy watching James Toney but i think he should of retired atleast 2 years ago.

It was Toney who backed out.

Former unified cruiserweight champion-turned-heavyweight David Haye believes heavyweight boxers refuse to fight him because "they know it's going to be their last fight." He has yet to find an opponent for his debut fight at the O2 Arena in London on November 15th. Haye told Setanta Sports News that he was in talks with four heavyweight boxers for the fight later this year and that one unnamed boxer had backed out. "He agreed the money, he agreed the fight, the date; everything was sorted. Obviously he's gone home and watched some DVDs of me in action and made a U-turn. He thought I was just a cruiserweight champion but he's watched me in action and thought to himself "he's no ordinary cruiserweight."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haye also revealed that money was an issue, claiming that many of the names touted were fighting for their pension. "They've come in with some ridiculous figures. A lot more than I'll be making from the fight after all's said and done. They realize they're not only going to get beat, but they'll get violently smashed."

I would like to see verification of this. Sounds like British hype, to be honest.

In an odd way,I'd hate to see Rahman some what rewarded with such a big scale spot light fight here.Think what you will of Haye but he gets the headlines and generates huge interest right now.Rahman's "desire" was questionable and wanning last outing and I would not be surprised to see Haye tune him up badly should they fight.

[kingfrnk]

rahman would be alrite for a warmup but i would rather see him fight samuel peter before a waldimir fight just to see if he can take the heavyweight punches
