David Haye another Amir Con? Manufactured "champ?"

[JazMerkin]

There should be a ban on posters attempting to do these VD-esque threads like these. He gets the balance right, so at least if you don't agree you at least get something funny out of it. Now whenever I read these kind of threads, I just feel disappointed.

This is like turning up to see a Manny Pacquiao fight & getting to watch Mark Melligen instead.

Anyway, no Haye isn't manufactured. You could accuse almost any of the hyped Brits of recent years (Hatton, Calzaghe, Khan) of being manufactured and taking weak opposition, but you just can't say that about Haye. He's always taken tough challenges and chances, and with confidence I can say he will have fought a Klitschko by the end of the year.

To be honest i'm not sure of either guy really...haye had even me going for a bit. But now that i look back i don't think he ever intended on fighting either klitch. I think the talk and t shirts were more meant to help him sell lesser fights against valuev, ruiz, arreolla, chambers people like that. I actually feel kinda bad for doubting the brothers for not fighting haye when he was just using thier names the same way people use floyd. But hey it worked so can't knock him for it. I know everyone hates khan but he's another i'm not sure about. He does have some potential there and one loss can be better for some guys than bad.
