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

[HattonTheHammer]

2 fights in a year is unheard of with david haye

expect to not see him back in action until may next year against a newly returned kirk johnson

[amat]

U-S-A

That is all. With Klitschko fighting for Ukraine, Russia and Germany all at the same time, he has been very hard to beat. He may not be from all these countries but anytime I talk to someone about boxing it's either the 'German brothers', 'tall Russian guy.'

Now I have made Klitschko an honorary American via Youtube comment, he's now welcome any time.



just try not to take anymore gay pictures please.

[Hornfinger]

WTF i hope this is some sort of BS masterplan to push the money up in a mayweather kinda way

if its not he must trully not fancy his chances.

that's exactly what it is.

Find the whole thing very amusing. Almost amusing as lyle thinking kirk johnson can spice up the heavy weight division! HAHA!

[Hornfinger]

...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!

you think kirk johnson is a credible heavyweight force. For that alone I'm not taking anything you say about heavyweights seriously.

[El Kabong]

Never once did I say Kirk Johnson was a credible heavyweight force! I merely commented on his return to boxing and given the lack of depth and consistency of the heavyweight division (outside of The Klitschkos) I merely stated that an in shape Kirk Johnson would prove to be an interesting matchup for some contenders and journeymen, I never even said Johnson would win. So Hornfinger just give it a rest

Go and kiss a klitscho ring piece you joke.

[DaxxKahn]

Isn't that just in short...

I need to avoid the klitschkos a bit more...;With any hope Vitaly retires and Wlad has a full card when i return....

Fucking Haye is a tool

Explain to me how you came to that conclusion Daxx

What one?...The fact Haye is a tool? Easy....

Since before the Thompson fight Haye has been a shit talking idiot...If you ever had MySpace and seen him on there and read the shit he would post the conclusion is easy...Haye does not trash talk he is out right belligerent....He would say shit like..."I am going to kick this Mother F***** ass he is a bitch etc...

He does these stupid ass burst in on the Klitschkos and make comments so stupid it makes Mayweathers look smart...

Just annoying and not the way for a World Champion (Even if it is the WBA) to act in public this is a sport not the back of a bar room...

The hoping Vitaly retires and Wlad has a full card comment....

Haye has been talking talking talking non stop about the Klitschkos but has yet to step up....Pulled out of a fight with one brother and found a way not to even get close to fighting the other.....

Vitali is 37? 38? He wants to retire soon....He can care less about haye and if Haye won't fight he will go about his business he is not waiting around for Haye to bitch out again...

Wlad has even called him out and Now Haye needs time off?

Yet just like the back that healed when the ink dried on the contract for Wlads next opp after Haye "Hurt his Back" David found a miracle cure for back pain...

If Vitaly retired tomorrow and Wlad signed his next 2 bouts.... Haye sure as shit stinks would have the taking the year off statement retracted and Haye would be issuing comments about Wlad ducking him and him coming ion to "CLEAN"...Up HW division and take charge while taunting Wlad and claiming Vitali retired to avoid him....

Personally I think Haye thought it was a good idea at first to taunt the brothers and fight them both...I think he did some research and looked how easy they dispose of their opp regardless of who....I think he sees Wlad beating men 6'5" with his jab and said "Shit man this is not the fight for me but I can't just say I don't want to fight them" so he plays little games...The shit he pulls is what guys pull if a champion is ducking them...Haye is not being ducked but pursued....

His act is OLD it is the SAME nonsense each time....Since 2007 his best opp is Valuev?....Shit the CW division had Cunningham, Adamek and a few more guys who would have tested him to his limit and IMO Cunningham or Adamek beats him....At HW he has managed to fight Barrett, Valuev and Ruiz.....He is his own joke....

[AdamGB]

So are you saying HBO (who had booked the date already) would not have paid Haye?

You still going on about Wlad-Haye? Tell me the HBO deal then?

Greater that $0 ergo he wouldn't be fighting for free.

Mate haye IS a business not an employee, he doesn't clock in on his way to the ring and then keep 100% of his wage packet. He has expenses... Trainers, corner men, managers, promotions, nutritionists, gym space, equipment, transport, insurance amongst a crap load of other things and living expenses and thats just during camp. If he manages to get a couple of grand from hbo and his camp cost about the same then where does he stand.

I do agree that this is a bad statement from booth though. Especially afterwlads youtube rant

Understood, I'm not arguing any of that, but my point is still true. Haye's cut on a heavily hyped card (easily billed as the biggest heavyweight fight for a long time) would have exceeded whatever Setanta was going to pay him. Plus he would get a cut of the gate. Is it speculation? Sure, but it's not like HBO is going to pay a few thousand dollars to a fighter they had already spent tens of thousands promoting.

Go and kiss a klitscho ring piece you joke.

Don't get personal....you got the wrong idea of my post and I just corrected you on it is all, no reason to get pissy about it

You're just jealous of David Haye because he's good looking and British! lol

Wasnt that the response he was giving people that criticize Haye?

[johnsebastianmiran]

I only saw this man fight twice and the times I saw him fight, I wasn't impressed. He reminded me of Floyd Mayweather without the talent. The heavyweight division is not in great shape but this fighter should be active because the other champions are not chumps like the guy he dethroned reminded me of Primo Carnera without the glass chin and of course heavier. Haye had better remember one thing, he has not arrived and Klitsko is the champ and he is dead weight until he acts like a champion instead of a glorified negotiator. You remember us David, the fans that pay for te pleasure of watching a good fight?

Well no one has come up with any real explination to dislike him.

What's worse, me saying 'You're just jealous of David Haye because he's good looking and British!' Or you fuckers actually hating on him because you're just jealous of David Haye because he's good looking and British?

Truth hurt gentleman? I think so.

The klits are top of the pile, haye has done more than any of the fat bums in the division to earn a shot. Will he beats the klits who knows, I don't. But I will back him when he does fight them.

I am absolutely amazed that there are people on here that claim to be knowledgeable boxing fans yet seem completely oblivious to the notion of spin.

Any fan of boxing knows the negotiations to huge fights never go smoothly. fighters winding each other up and getting pissed off with each other is part and parcel of the sport and has been going on for years.

Adam Booth giving the whole 'Haye needs a break' is just more spin. Does everyone on this site believe everything they read? It's more mind games, nothing more nothing less. I find it funny, almost as funny as lyle touting kirk johnson.

I personally think Haye vs klit will be announced before the end of next month.
