" David "Haye is not considering any opponents right now, he needs rest"

[amat]

Hahaha the negotiations line is GREAT!

I now know what excuse I will use for Floyd if Mosley beats him. Those Pacquiao negotiations took to much out of him, it was obvious he returned to the ring much to soon.

He took the 2 easiest fights possible and pulled out of the 2 hardest, give him a break that takes a lot out of a guy

[amat]

What amazes me about the Klitschko/Haye thing is that Klitschko did sooo much talking beforehand and then had shots at BOTH Klitschkos. So he backed out of both, he's human he's allowed to. But to STILL talk shit, say they are scared (it's obvious they're not) and keep yapping is borderlinne indefensible. It's crazy people get so caught up in either hating or liking a guy tht facts tend to blind them. When you back out of 2 fights then say negotiating 2 fights (Booth said it but w/e) took a lot out is nonsense. But Bitschko rhymes

[Fenster]

That sounds like Booth was asked a question about who's next for Haye and he politely was saying he don't know.

Where's the rest Skel?

To be fair Haye is kind of embarrassing but if he knocks out Wlad he instantly becomes the greatest human being ever.

According to trainer and manager of Haye, Adam Booth - who informed Gareth. A Davies of Telegraph Sport that his fighter has "no interest" in a fight with the New Yorker - the idea of such a fight should not even be taken seriously.

"I'm surprised it has even been taken seriously even on a website," Booth said disparagingly.

So, who will Haye, fresh off his exciting 9th-round stoppage of a game John Ruiz, look to fight next now that "The Cannon" is out of the picture? Somewhat depressingly, Booth says Haye has no upcoming opponent in mind at all, and that the 29-year-old will instead look to take a break from fighting.

"We are not considering anything or any opponents at the moment," Booth went on. "None whatsoever. We want to let everything settle, the last year was quite busy with negotiations for four world title fights, two of which have now taken place, and David is now going to take a well-earned rest."

So, it appears as though Wladimir Klitschko's own recent calling out of Haye (via a well publicised You Tube message) will also not be answered any time soon. How long, though, will Haye's "well-earned rest" last? Let's face it, for a primed and peaking warrior such as "The Hayemaker," a schedule that has consisted of just two fights since November of 2008 is not one that should have caused any problems. Yet now Booth is telling us Haye will take a break. Add to this the promise Haye has made of how he will retire at the age of 31, and it looks like the exciting heavyweight puncher may only been seen in the ring on a further two or three occasions at the most.

If Haye really does want to face Wladimir Klitschko, for the "Real" heavyweight championship, what is he waiting for? Turning down Briggs is one thing, but fighting no-one else instead, at least for the time being, is not something that will sit well with the fans. Especially when Haye declared himself, not too long ago, as being the saviour of the heavyweight division!

The initial chat was replying to Shannon Briggs calling out Haye.

I think some of you may simply be reading too much into the word 'rest'.. by taking a well-earned rest he might simply mean he's taking two-three weeks off before he begins negotiations again.

I don't understand why he needs to rest when in negotiations? Isn't Booth his manager wtf has Haye got to do just be by his mobile why sunning himself in the Bahamas or whatever he does when he has to " rest ".

This fight needs to happen now Wlad has been out of the ring for nearly two months now and no doubt will be looking to get a fight signed soon with or without Haye, so why not get the fight signed now for say September/October go have a good time for a few weeks then come back ready for the biggest fight of your life?? Oh no better idea, wait for Wlad to sign for someone else then you can come back from your rest and start negotiations with Audley Harrison!!!!

Sounds like Gareth didn't get the answers he was looking for

...I want you people who give me a hard time about all the posts I made calling this dude out to tell me I was wrong to do so. Tell me all the stuff I posted about the Yellow Pride of England was wrong!

Haye potentially not wanting to fight Klitchko doesn't make you any less of a douche. Hope that helps clarify things for you .

I agree that this makes him look really bad though.

I think his credibility has been suspect for some time now to be honest. He looked very good against Ruiz and I think he would pose a threat to both Klitscko's (whether or not he would win is another matter), but he seems content to run his mouth, keep his name in the spotlights, and take lesser fights to pad his bank account. Hope that changes soon.

[smashup]

Maybe He wants to enjoy his baby Cassius Haye whos about 2 now and spend some chill time with his wife Natasha who's pregnant again with their next baby

Or maybe for possibly the fight of his life he wants to be in the shape of his life and get it spot on with no regrets afterwards.

Or it could be as Saddo says that Booth/Haye are hanging it out in order to get more dollar

That article doesn't claim he'll be out of action for a massive amount of time so i wouldn't panic.

Booth's a smooth operator so hold fire for a bit..! and trust me i can assure anyone who thinks Hayes in fear of the Klits that they are fools if they believe he is in anyway scared.

The mans fearless -FACT

To be fair, he might aswell milk it. He'll fight the Klits at some point, that i am sure of.
