harrison after haye

[The Fightfan]

Does all of this really matter? Hopefully the Wlad Haye fight will be signed soon. Wlad will pick him apart and the British fans will still be saying that Wlad is a piece s**t plodding heavyweight who has fought no one of note until the end of his career. Then probably piss and moan about if Haye had fought more in the heavies he would have destroyed Wlad and Vitali together in the same night.

Haye is the biggest hype job of all time. There is no one who immediately comes to mind who get's as much publicity for doing absolutely nothing in the heavyweight divison but TALK the greatest fight of his life. This man is no Tyson,no Ali, and for England's sake sure as f**k is no Lennox. This is what makes boxing a joke to people who don't watch this sport. How the f**k can a guy who fought one heavyweight get a shot at the title when people have been in this division there entire career and not even been mentioned. I do agree with Lyle and Violent Demise. I sure as hell could see Thompson disposing of this fella as well as Aerreola. Haye has proven nothing to me in the heavies except knocking Barrett out in which Klitschko bounced off the canvas a half a dozen times in '00 and whom many other's have taken care of.

roy jones?

Wow that one did silence me. Let's be realistic here A REAL HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE. Not John Ruiz who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag.

Roy Jones Jr. was already a very well established fighter at 47-1 (the loss was by DQ as well), he was a champion at a couple of weight classes AND the #1 Pound 4 Pound fighter at the time that fight was made.


David Haye is 22-1 and has already been KO'd and isn't anywhere close to top 20 Pound 4 Pound

Right he had been a champ at 3 at the time the fight was made but had only been undisputed at one because he moved through MW and SMW fairly swiftly. Haye has also been undisputed at one! Fair enough he is not #1 p4p but you'll find him in a lot of p4p lists and way above Wlad in most.

To be totally honest I think your right I think he should fight more at HW before he gets a title shot (unless it was Valuev) and prove he totally deserves his shot but I really think he would destroy everyone on your earlier list and I honestly think the only people who COULD beat him at the moment are the Klitschko's but I don't see a foregone conclusion. At the end of the day he has power and speed and Wlad is quite chinny so these are big things that go against Wlad.

so you saying that it was ok for roy to fight for the title but not haye who is only 1 weight division below heavy & was the undisputed champ of cruiser? where as roy fought at light heavy? i am not being defensive here just wondered?

many fighters have moved up weight divisions & captured titles.

[El Kabong]

Roy had the clout to go and fight for A title. He beat a very weak title holder, he never tried to unify, he never defended the titles, and he never sought out a fight with Chris Byrd much less The Klitschko's.


I think it's best for boxing if Haye creates a resume at heavyweight before fighting Wladimir but if you want to see Haye get his ass stomped then fine by me, just don't complain about what a one sided beat down it was after it's over.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Just like what happened to the mighty Ross Purrity I suppose

Big talk from a guy who is supporting the very same David Haye who got KO'd by the ancient Carl Thompson

Yes but I never saw Thompson lose 20 fights did you? Puritty did! And Haye was only in his 11th fight. Wlad was in his 25th and knew he just wasn't good enough for Puritty so he had to get big bro to beat him up just like Sanders!
