Cringeworthy press confrence from David Haye earlier today..

[skel1983]

Adam I am just trying to get it straight, Solis KO'd Barrett in 2 rounds in a fight where he was supposed to fight Kevin Johnson and then Fres Oquendo...and I'm just trying to judge what this means in comparison to what beating Monte Barrett meant for David Haye and that is a title shot. So by the rational of David Haye and all his idiot fans Odlainer Solis deserves a title shot yesterday as the "dangerous"(Haye's words not mine) Monte Barrett was Solis' 3rd option and yet Solis was able to KO Barrett earlier and Solis did not get knocked down in the process.

In the end, I just want to know what this win means for Solis and I wanted to use David Haye as an example because his most recent fight was against the very same Monte Barrett

and in this thread I wonder why Haye suddenly rates Valuev so high when he had PLENTY of opportunity to fight Wladimir or Vitali

Lyle he was the undisputed 200lb champion, who held the Ring,WBC,WBA and WBO belts, do you not think that gives him any advantage??

Ok if the division was full of talent and world beaters maybe he should wait for his shot but the division is weak, I dont understand why the hell Haye is anything different to other champs who have moved up in weight and challanged for a title in there first coupld of fights happens all the time.

When was the last time that meant something in the HEAVYWEIGHT division? ......NEVER, Holyfield had to work his way up when Mike Tyson was fighting BUSTER GOD DAMN DOUGLAS so don't give me that BS about there not being any contenders out there


When Haye is mentioned one HAS to mention that he tucked tail and ran away from 2 guys who offered him direct shots at 3 recognized titles. And what does he do He brags about his skill and scurries away like the chicken shit little rat he is to fight some big Oaf of a title holder.

...and you guys circle the wagons and defend him! England, where is your pride

So because the last undisputed 200lb champ had to work his way to a title fight thats the written rule is it?

Bullshit, do the heavyweights have different rules to the other divisions??
Why did Manny not have a few fights before fighting Hatton?? Calzaghe fighting Hopkins?? The list is endless, the state of the heavyweight divison is awful have a look at the top 10 pityful.

Difference is he doesnt have to fight the klits 48 thousand times and then fight there dad and grandad and 4 uncles in a tag team match if he is still unbeaton after the 48 thousand fights. Valuev fight is a fight for the wba title one fight win or loose walk away to other things, from the daft clauses the Klits had in the contract it's pretty safe to say they were the ones shitting themselves not Haye.

Skel you can complain all you want to about why the cruiserweights get the shit end of the stick but the 100% FACT of the matter is that even light heavyweights do better in the heavyweight division than cruiserweights.

Being a cruiserweight means either you're too slow or too big to be a champ at 175 or you are too small or lack the skills needed to be a champ at heavyweight.

EVANDER HOLYFIELD is the one guy that was a cruiserweight champ and a successful heavyweight champ. He ruled over a DEEP cruiserweight division and then fought his way to the titles at heavyweight.

Look at David Haye, he's no Evander Holyfield...his style alone (not to mention his horrible attitude) make him a potential subject to beat downs from relative nonentities in the heavyweight division.

Who's idea of that shit stunt was it??Worst stunt to promote a fight i've ever seen

...he tries this shit thinking he'll liven up the division but he ends up looking like a moron because he doesn't have the charisma to pull it off.

If one of my favorite fighters did something like that I would be ashamed of them...not because it's in poor taste, but just because it was a pathetic display....Haye makes it seem so forced

[ross]

I feel dirty.............

I just watched that pathetic shit, it was painfull and embarrasing, im glad I didnt have to sit in that room.

I really hope that Valuev just clonks Haye on the top of his head and hammers himin to the canvas like a pile

Haye is really getting good at being boring, how stupid did he sound when he was going on about how his training for Klitschko helped him here
