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

[Violent Demise]

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

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?

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.

The Haye-Wlad fight was all set. And 2 weeks before it happens the hand injury comes up. Scratch that. Back injury. And groupies got the nerve to claim Wlad is ducking Haye.

I'm not defending Haye and I definitely don't think Wlad is ducking him, but Haye clearly pulled out of the fight becuase the TV company with rights to the fight was about to go bankrupt and he wouldn't have got paid. He had to use an injury as an excuse. It turned out to be a wise decision becuase Setanta did go bust before the date of the fight

I don't understand why the HAYTERS find this so hard to understand. It won't happen this time around with the backing of SKY anyway.

Yeah the Vitali fight I don't quite understand... One minute he was fighting Vitali, the next he was fighting Valuev!
I guess he just wanted the easier fight 1st

I'm not sure if the OP's intent was to mislead but that statement was a response to a question about Shannon Briggs.....

Booth was responding to a question about Brigs calling out Haye and saying That Haye shouldn't waste his time with the Klits.

To which Booth responds "Briggs must be too far gone to come out with a statement like that.........We are not considering anything or any opponents at the moment....None whatsoever....We want to let everything settle.....” bla bla bla

No one is ducking anyone. Wlad wants haye haye wants wlad. simple.

You can't say that an injury means that a fighter is ducking someone. I wouldn't go into any kind of pro contest with an injury. George Foreman sustained a cut before the rumble in the jungle and the fight was postponed. That was a genuine injury. George wasn't going to fight injured and he was the vast favourite to win. Was there an outcry that he was trying to duck ali?

It's all down to negotiation, spin, media/fan manipulation and mind games now. The fight will happen, it's about building anticipation. The whole 'will they, won't they?' thing is a big part of that.

Make the fans desperate to see the fight and then they're happier to part with their money and it will also attract bigger numbers.

It happens in all big fights.
