I'm hearing Wlads shit himself and Haye will fight Toney!!!

[El Kabong]

We've never seen Haye take a punch from a power punching heavyweight, we haven't seen Haye fight a top 20 heavyweight yet, we haven't seen him last 10-12 rounds with a heavyweight, and we haven't seen Haye show defense vs a heavyweight either.

I would like to see Haye vs a bigger heavyweight, someone 6'5-6'6 who knows how to box or is just a dangerous puncher. There is a long list of fighters Haye can fight and prove himself against before getting a shot at Wlad

[Kirkland Laing]

Yes Lyle... because we all know that Haye's professional Career started when he fought Monte Barrett.

I'm not even going to bother listing the amount of title holders (plenty of them not even close to being undisputed Champion...) who have went on to immediately secure title fights in higher weight classes.

You can say what you want about the Cruiser Weight Division but the Heavyweight division isn't exactly much better... What Haye has done at cruiser Division deserves a lot more respect than what you Klit nut huggers are prepared to give him.

To really justify a fight with one of the Frankensteins Haye needs the kind of record of a Corrie Sanders or a Ross "The Boss" Purrity.

Thats an ignorant thing to say. Wlad hadnt won a title when he fought Purrity, and when he fought Sanders he was only WBO champ. Completely different circumstances. Now Klit is undisputed champ with 7 defenses.
If he doesnt fight Haye but fights Arreola or another top HW i'd be happy with that. Haye can then just force him to fight by winning more fights. I think Haye deserves a shot.

He's a chinny fraud who got knocked out by a pro-celebrity golfer. The only reason he holds any belt is because the heavyweight division is total garbage. The fact that a chinny cruiser is the most exciting fighter at heavyweight tells you everything you need to know about the division.

Could you name a power punching heavyweight ? I can only think of David Haye.

Haye has fought 2 top 15 ACTUALLY ranked heavyweights. Bonin number 11 and Barrett number 5.

He hasn't lasted that amount of rounds because he blows his opponents away with his power.

Monte Barrett hit Haye. Haye stayed up straight.

Well i guess if they fought it'd be a big chinny fraud v a smaller one, who got KO'd by a 40 yr 32-6 cruiser. The Thomspon fight has as much relevance as the Sanders and Purrity fights. Fuck all.

Haye had 10 fights when he fought Thompson and was VERY inexperienced.

Klitchsko had how many ?

That's right, a chinny heavy versus a chinny cruiser. And the chinny cruiser is the most exciting fighter in the division and the fight is the best that could be made in the division right now. The entire division is garbage.

Do you know anything about the division? Vitali Klitschko 35 of 36 wins by KO, thats a higher KO% than Haye. Wladimir Klitschko, Samuel Peter, Lamont Brewster, Wladimir Klitschko, David Tua, Arreola, the list goes on.

Not the time Barret hit him and he went down, but for some reason it was considered a slip.

No way is Barret considered number 5 at heavyweight by the ring or in any credible list

Tony Thompson, Arreola, Both Klitschko, Peter, Ibragimov, Valuev, Chagaev, Povetchkin, Chambers, Witherspoon, and probably Holyfield amongst others would all be ranked higher than him, and are all better than him.

Andrew Golota is out there for Haye to fight, if he wanted to impress somebody he could have at least fought someone who USED TO BE somebody in the division. David could fight Sam Peter, Lamon Brewster, and the way Haye likes eating right hands I would even feel good if he fought Hasim Rahman and won.....I would feel better of his chances than him just jumping in vs Wladimir.

Not all heavyweights are as easy to KO as Monte Barrett and Bonin.....I mean hell Audley Harrison TKO'd Bonin before Haye even thought of fighting him. And I'm sure even you agree that Audley Harrison doesn't deserve a title shot.

[Wayne]

fans of the sport are the real losers in this if Wlad has indeed chickened out of a fight.

Haye told setanta last thursday that it was pretty much in wlads camp now and that if any fight was to be made it would have to be done by this weekend otherwise he would go looking elsewhere.

I have a lot of time and respect for Wladimir Klitschko - just hope to god he doesnt sell everyone who`s other had faith in him short and head for another easy pay day.

I hope people aren't taking Haye's word as bond. He could be posturing to get more money than Klitschko wants to agree to. Look at it this way: you and I agree to a fight in principal. We expect 20 mil in ticket sales and I say I want 11. While we're still negotiating I announce to the public that the deal is done and it's just a matter of you agreeing to it when you know there's more to it than that. You think you deserve 12 because you're the champ and I'm some upstart, but since I went and blabbed to the public I'm making you out to be a pussy if you don't agree to the agreement that's 'already in your hands'. I think Haye is trying to put the squeeze on Klitschko. Wlad hasn't had reason to chicken out of any fight and I doubt a guy who just arrived at HW has him quaking in his boots.

I don't know whether to think you've seen the Audley-Bonin fight or not... Was one of the worst stoppages I have ever seen... Bonin was well in the fight into 9th round or when ever the referee decided he was bored of it. Haye completely fucked him up within a round.

I don't know what's scenario is worse... that you simply read boxrec and based your opinion on the fight off that without even seeing what happened or that you did see the fight and despite supposedly knowing a thin or two about boxing thought that it was a legitimate TKO...

[Taeth]

To be fair, I actually think Haye is pretty slick at slipping the right hand. I mean Mormeck did catch him with that one huge right hand that had him wobbly in the legs, but besides that Haye was slipping most of Mormeck's punches quite effectively. Same with against Bonin he got caught coming in that one time, but there were still many other times where Bonin couldn't land anything even when they were (sluging it out) he was landing hard punches while Bonin wasn't landing clean shots at all.

In what world is Barrett #5 and Bonin #11? If this fight comes off in June, we'll be able to put all this silly David Haye talk to bed.
