Oh, and I remember back in Ali's day, to speak of him and Joe Louis in the same breath would have been heresy. My Dad would not have stood for that. LOL

...I still don't stand for it! 25 successful title defenses is I think the #1 acheivement in the heavyweight division followed by Rocky's record and then Ali/Holyfield winning the title 3 times.
piye, GOD you Brits are fucking annoying with your "Why don't Americans like our mouthy prissy ass British fighters?" ....I didn't like Naz, I had nothing against Hatton just his God awful fans, I knew Audley was nothing just judging by his age when he won the gold medal, and the guy you're talking about right now is just a yellow bellied chickenshit bastard! I don't HAVE to like the bastard and I knew from the get go I wasn't going to like him and him being British has fuck all to do with it....he could be from the US and I wouldn't like him (like Zab Judah) or he could be from the fucking moon and I wouldn't care for him.....it's not all about England!!!! WE DON'T CARE!!!!
Wlad is on a mission and if he ever gets this fight he's going to PUNISH this guy. It's going to be brutal!
That one statement proves to me that you've never really listened to Haye, apart from in post fight interviews.
He is not, by any stretch of the immagination, a gangster wannabe.
Trust me, if he was like that, he'd be about as popular as a fart in a space suit with the majority of white, working class boxing fans in the UK.
He's a good guy who knows what to say to get the press interested. FFS even Wlad is doing it now.
24 Beers in a slab, 24 hours in the day.......go figure.
It's not about the guy being a litteral gangster it's about his show of bravado while behind a microphone followed by his show of cowardice once the contract comes out.
Wlad isn't going to b*tch out of fighting anybody
You guys can compare this WBA title holder to Corrie Sanders all you want but even if Corrie himself fought THIS version of Wladimir then Corrie would be the one knocked out. Wlad is on his game and you are just going to have to prepare to watch YOUR BOY get beaten to hell with just the jab and then taken out in a flash in the 12th with the right cross or left hook. Wlad says he wants the KO to come in the 12th, but I doubt the WBA title holder makes it even halfway there because either he'll be KO'd by then or his trainer will have stopped the fight.
I don't know why everyone tries to bring up "Wlad hasn't fought anyone this dangerous since Corrie Sanders" when the WBA title holder hasn't fought anyone as dangerous as Wlad.......EVER!
IMO Haye is far more dangerous than Sanders. He couldn't even KO a genuine CW in Johnny Nelson FFS. Haye is faster, hits harder and is a lot more mobile than any Golfer.
For the record though I too think Wlad right now would beat that Sanders. Steward seems to have found a good fightplan for Wlad and though it's boring it's effective. Of that I cannot argue, I just think "MY BOY" is gonna beat yours.
The dislike for Haye is simple.
