How about Haye keeps his yap shut until the contracts are signed? And apparently Kevin Johnson is aching to fight him.

He's been beginning to look stupid. Johnson AND Chapman can't have both 'pulled out' of the same fight, was he planning a three way match up.

Reading betwwen the lines they were considering Johnson, then Chapman turned up cheaper so they dropped kevin only for this Chapman fella (with a remarkebly similar record to Tye Fields who Haye has repeatedly ridiculed as well as Baretts W over him) to pull out.

What is Haye doing fighting J.D. Chapman anyway

Isn't Chapman promoted by the same guy who promoted the Baller-Kid Thunder fight?

Seriously.

I like Haye and part of its cause he's willing to fight good opponents but J.D. Chapman? Johnson might have been a bit too much for the first fight but J.D. Chapman?

I just hope Hayes fights somebody worthwhile. The division needs some new faces.

Haye needs to STFU about people backing out until he has a contract signed. How do I know there was no contract? Because there is no law-suit.

There are plenty of heavyweights for him to fight. But let's be honest he needs to be less picky right now, take a damn fight get the contract signed and move on. At this point he's got a date of 11/15/08 (15/11/08 for those of you outside the US) Which leaves 8 weeks for a training camp if the fight was made today. Now take away from that at least 1 week for negotiations, that leaves a 7 week training camp. Now take 1 week at the end to fly to the UK (assuming this is a US fighter) to get used to the time change, and get rid of jet lag, that leaves a 6 week training camp. Of course the training camp will need to be set-up sparring partners brought in that could another week.

So he is asking for someone to play in his backyard, for relatively little money, with an abbreviated training camp. Not sure many RANKED fighters would go for that.

Chapman is not American.....He's from Arkansas

Seriously though,Haye should just shut his pie hole and get in the ring.Enough fluff and celebra-drama already.Talking loud.......saying nothing.

This has the potential to turn into a total farce. If it goes another week and he still doesn't have somebody signed to fight him this could get downright funny.

I ain't buying it.

He's looking for an easy fight so he's trying to fluff it up that he couldn't find a legitimate contender. It's cheap drama, but it's garbage. Finding an opponent isn't hard if your offering decent money. Trying to stack the deck and get someone to sacrifice every advantage to you for cheap and still be a legit contender is real hard. That's the struggle, but he's making out to be a fear thing. Don't believe the hype.

Danny,

I got a video request......Don't believe the hype featuring the haye maker.
