Don King was the real winner of Haye v Valuev

[rjj tszyu]

Shit, shit, boringly shit fight.

It was a Valuev fight after all Fenster. But it was Haye that most were banking on to rise it a level or two above shit and he didn't (or couldn't)..

If the fight is shit its usually because Valuev had the ability to keep it that way. Haye seemed content to fight shit with shit..

My impression was that Valuev seemed to win by three shits.

And that is why heavyweight is so unappealing these days... How many fights can you describe as two fighters (insert bolded text here)....

Get these giant freaks of nature who are only champs because of their enormous size out of boxing, and bring back the heavyweight ATHLETES who's number one craft is boxing and bringing the pain..... Not use your giant size to keep someone away and win on points..... It is boring as sh!t for boxing, and how many belts are exchanged in this way, while fans are falling asleep in the stands....
I mean, it's fine, we have so many other divisions of boxing which keep boxing as the number one sport on the planet, but if the recipe for a certain division is the more boring you can make the fight, the better chance you have of winning, then of course the excitement is going to be at a minimum.

The problem is the top american athletes go to other sports for big money now, where they are not risking life and death. The likes of Tyson and Holyfield were similar size's to Haye and I would put a fortune on them in their primes walking through all todays HW's. They were class operators!

Tyson wasn't even 6 ft I believe, but I agree with your point about American fighters going to other easier sports. Unfortunately it's the nature of the game, fights are too infrequent and there can only really be one true champion. The reason the heavies are packed with europeans is because we have no sport that is as extreme as American Football when it comes to physique. I truely believe there is more than one Roy Jones playing in the NFL right now.

Haye cannot be compared to Tyson and Holyfield, he has worked his way to a title without really earning it. It is a very poor division. Look at how many fights Holyfield had to go through to get a shot at Buster. Haye would not have survived those battles.

Really?? I can't comment because it is not a sport I know a single thing about. I've herad the same thing said about Basketball but again can't comment.
