Irrational Hate

[Fenster]

No I have a problem with a guy who calls out Wladimir Klitschko and then acts like Monte Barrett is the greatest fighter in the entire division.

Haye is so caught up in trying to act the part of a professional fighter he may well lose to Monte Barrett. Monte Barrett is nowhere near the top of the division.

Show me when he said this

[El Kabong]

"At the same time, he's also a dangerous heavyweight who has surprised up-and-coming heavyweights." - David Haye


Sounds to me like he's overrating Monte Barrett more than likely on purpose just so he can pat himself on the back all the more if he wins or console himself when he loses

So.. from that perfectly reasonable quote you decided - Haye acts like Monte Barrett is the greatest fighter in the entire division.

Ridiculous even by your standards Lyle.

You do understand boxing is a business, right? Haye has to help SELL this fight. Considering no-one in Britain (apart from hardcore fans) has ever seen or heard of Monte Barrett, it wouldn't be the wisest business move for Haye to convince everyone Barrett is a bum that wont last two rounds.. so you have to expect SOME praise for Barrett
