Does Boxing Need The Hayemaker?

[Violent Demise]

Saying yes is pretty much saying Boxing can't survive without Haye. That is clearly not the case.

Violent - do you honestly think i give a toss about points?
I just post my opinions and people can agree or disagree.
I have come across you on some of the other forums I post on and imo you are just a 'blinkered hater' where as I am a boxing fan

Your not a fan. Your another Pac groupie. There's a difference.

Dude, he's said nothing pro Pacquiao and he's made 6 posts for fucks sake. His thread is basically asking if Haye is distasteful and bad for boxing, or if what he's doing is good for boxing. So why bad rep him for bringing up a topic that people are discussing right now?

I think the world wide community probably doesn't, but I think the UK needs him.

No Calzaghe. No Hatton. Who is gonna fill those shoes? Witter? Kahn? Andy Lee? Froch?

I just think he is good for the country he lives in. At least for now.

I do a post on David Haye so I'm a Pac groupie?

I am a Pac fan,haye fan,Mayweather fan.I like Hayes/Pacmans all action,attacking style and prefer it to Mayweathers defensive style.However I do admire his ability.It's just personal taste.
Some people like Hagler,some liked Leonard.
In fact I think mayweather beat a far better version of Oscar Than Manny did and I also think Mayweather took Hattons punch resistance.I think Floyd would beat Manny at 147.
I am a boxing fan without the blinkers that alot of you haters have.
I look at the facts and post my opinions based on facts.
Not on some blinkered ideas because of love or hate for one fighter.

So whos the groupie now?

Anyway back on topic.
I think haye ko's Wlad inside 5

'I went with 'Yes', but not necessarily in terms of Haye per se... More what he represents - Boxers who are willing to take risks and promote the sport'

This is exactly the point I am trying to make.

Or does the Hayemaker need teh b0xing


Boxing doesnt need him, but the hw division sure does.

And mainstream boxing for the most part thrives and fails with the hw division with few exceptions.


Im still voting yes just cause I hope he knocks Wlad the fuck out.

Having Haye at HW is good, he is exciting in the ring and loves to run his mouth which brings in the wrestling fans too. It's too bad he will be irrelavant after Wladdy flattens him.

Yeah I get you bud, that's why I voted yes too. Win or lose Haye is doing something every fighter should be willing to do.....take a chance and make BIG fights happen.

Mixed bag here.Better to have the 'Homemakers' than not.A confident,punching comer & walking sound bite for media willing to fight the best.....is he able too is another question?

And for the many followers he has cheering.....count as equal the ones that are waiting & watching for another braggart to get sparked out.

imo Haye keeps winning = Interest increases,Hype grows and boxings marquis division stays in the limelight a little longer!
Wlad wins = marquis division slips back into obscurity as it has been for the rest of the Klitschko reign.

Let's hope for the sake of the division,that come June 20th Haye not only talks the talk but walks the walk

There is no doubt that Haye could be good for boxing. I don't think boxing needs him, but with the only 2 remaining marquee stars to the casual fan, Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao, probably having at most five fights left between them, boxing is going to need stars to take over. I think Haye can offer that, I struggle to see anyone else who can on a global level apart from Kelly Pavlik. The general public are generally only interested from 135 upwards, so I think that rules out Juanma for a while, who is already arguably the biggest star in Puerto Rico (ie more popular than Cotto, not a better fighter yet). I think there will be a lot of guys who are stars but in their own countries.

He's certainly doing no harm. Just hope he doesn't show himself up because he'll look like a tool.

He's definitely entertaining. Both in and outside the ring.

True he will look like a tool if he loses,and I really can't see him going on if he got badly beat.
I do think he will spark Wlad though
