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

[Hornfinger]

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

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.
