Haye v Klitschko - Contracts due to be signed today.

[Majesty]

Wonder what happened to Haye fighting 1 or 2 top 10 fighters first?

Hayes needs to fight somebody fast. If this goes through and happens then great... but if it flounders on much longer then he should just keep busy... get some experience and put himself in a better bargaining position and then come back.

Obviously Wlad's people don't think that being undisputed in the division below theirs holds that much pull.

Gangsta Klitschko.

Not so quiet and conservative anymore


But he is going to beat Haye. Haye should really have tested the waters at heavyweight first but oh well, he'll find out the difference between him and Holyfield and the difference between Wladimer and Buster Douglas soon enough.

Haye doesn't get Klitschko if he gets knocked out. The chances of that happening if Haye were to face a top 10 contender are at about 70%.

Find it hilarious how Haye constantly brings up Holyfields accomplishments and says he will do the same. LOL. Haye needs to look at how many contenders and former champions Holyfield faught before getting a title shot.

[rjj tszyu]

Still no news on this one. Could just be the good old fabricating Sun upto their usual tricks!

In fact I thought that taking Haye directly to a title shot with wlad was unfair compared to other fighters who really worked hard to get there.

but Wlad also deserve easy payday time to time...I don't denied Haye has power knockout and athletic abilities, but this is just too soon imo.


if it happens, I really don't see it beyond the 3rd round, with Haye laying on the canvas.

It has been so long since I've seen Haye fight that I even forgot what he looks like let alone his style. I wish I was kidding.

It sounds as if he is counting on the minds of people that dont follow boxing which a majority of the demorgaphic of 18-21 year olds dont really read up on history.

Haye could say his cruiserweight resume was better then holyfields and some of his fans would believe that. I don't think he counts on anyone to do research on the thngs he says. But you'd think a smart journalist would have called him on it by now. But I doubt they would because they probably want another interview. It seems like Haye has a bunch of people in his ear. I watched his confrontation with Wladimer on youtube and after it was done he had people telling him "He don't wanna fight(referring to Wladimer)" Not a good thing.

If Haye actually believes that he'll get beaten fast. The last person that said Wladimer didn't have balls got beaten with one hand by the guy...

I will believe this fight is going to happen when the bell rings.

David Haye is a decent fighter, he COULD bring some depth and excitement to the division but then again he could bite off more than he can chew and as we have seen that could ruin his career. Sure Haye lost vs Carl Thompson, but he was young and maybe he did use a bad strategy vs Thompson but if he steps in vs Wladimir and anything he decides to do gets him busted up with a jab or power punch then he's going to take too much damage and maybe end up being a shell shocked fighter a la Gerry Cooney or Michael Grant.

I think it's best for David Haye and boxing in general if he works his way up in the division, it gives him experience, it lets people learn about who he is, and he creates more buzz about a matchup vs Wladimir or Vitali.

That's pretty much it. Them mindless sheep think whatever comes out of Haye's mouth is gospel.

Everyone would love for Haye to do well in the division but to jump right in with Wlad ....That's like swimming with Jaws

i dont think anyone would put there house on wlad winning so makes for an exciting fight, have they signed yet?

[mrbig1]

I hate to say it,but I don't see anyone beating the K brothers

Has David Haye been hurt by cruiserweights? Has he taken a punch from a power punching heavyweight? And who knows if David Haye's power has carried up with him to heavyweight.....sure it's likely that it has but who knows? Who has Haye fought and proven himself against in the heavyweight division?

There's a lot we don't know about Haye...sure he COULD beat Wladimir but there is a larger chance that Wlad smashes the crap out of him and Haye never competes at a high level again.

I mean, we were lead to believe that Audley Harrison was the second coming....who's to say that the story is different for David Haye?

I know.

Honestly I would have liked to see him do that first.

I'll still back him against Wlad and I think he has a damn good chance.

But beating Monte Barret then fighting for a title is pretty iffy.
