All Quiet on the David Haye Front.....

[El Kabong]

Where's Lefty? I wonder if he's proud of his buddy.

Let's assume a Klitschko fight doesn't happen anytime in the future...is Chicken Little the 3rd best heavyweight or are there fighters out there that could pick him off? I think Sam Peter (if he continues to come to fight in shape) would give the Chicken a good hard fight, Chagaev is durable enough but probably a little too slow, there are a lot of guys that I think could hurt the guy but I'm not sure how many can finish the job or land consistently on him.

From what I've read the problem seems to stem from all of the people that are eating into Hayes pot.

Because technically Valuev is due a rematch, Sauderland have a stake in his next fights and by the sounds of it so do many other people.

There is also the Germany or England dispute which makes hell of a difference to what each fighter gets.

Haye has to fight a Klitscho next or face being the laughing stock of the boxing world. I have a feeling he wants Vitali and not Wlad, hence the delays when Wlad came asking.

Kind of ironic isn't it considering the so called reasons he avoided Vit last summer was the future commitments they were imposing. Imagine that, getting offered a huge fight with one of the top two followed by two more huge fights if he wins, or stuck fighting Valuev twice, Ruiz then Audrey as a voluntary

There's no way he can improve his bargaining position from where he is, his career could end with a whimper

Haye is a fucking joke. That is all.

Totally agree. What a charade and what a clown. All that talk only to get out of a fight not only once but 3 times now. First he was fighting Wlad, then he was fighting Vitali and now he has been offered an equal deal offer and goes and turns his nose up.

Totally lame. I'm sure him and Khan are texting each other career advice. Bunch of careerist gits!

[Nameless]

Actually. I think he never really wanted to fight any of the two, just wanted to be heard about and to make a name for himself in any way possible, now he'll go with the few HW he can beat and will run off with the money. I am almost certain at this point that he wouldn't even dare to fight a Thomasz Adamek.

Which is probably exactly what will happen.

The sad thing is, if he had got his shot at Valuev, then said he wanted to defend it a few times before taking on the big K's, no one would have minded. We would have probably understood his reasoning.

But because he has continued to call them out, he just look weak now.

I actually think he would make a fool of Vitali so I don't know why he can't set that fight up.

Do boxers actually give a shit about their legacy anymore or is it soley about cashing up as much as possible? I understand it's a short career, but you would think you would fight for free to have a chance of fighting the best there is and being undisputed world heavy champ??

[Rantcatrat]

Haye needs to put up or shut up. He should be quiet now. Because nothing he is doing or could be doing would merit any press at all.

How ridiculous will Haye look if Adamek fights one of the KBros before him?

You have to respect the Klitschko's. They are cleaning house in their division. Say what you want about it, but they are fighting every single top ten heavyweight. Vlad is fighting Povetkin after fighting Chambers. That is a ton more than Haye can say.

He would be hard-pressed to look more ridiculous at this point.

[El Kabong]

All I have to say to the supporters of Chicken Little is "What would Frank Bruno do?" If Bruno was in his prime and had the WBA belt, what would he do?

[0james0]

I watched the Haye vs Valuev fight again the other day (somehow managed to stay awake again)

I forgot all about Valuev's ring entrance. What the fuck was all that about? He had his own mini rock concert before coming out!

Just wanted to bring that back up again!

[Lefty]

Some of you guys are speaking like Haye has been out the ring for 5 years.

David Haye is the best thing to hit the HW division since Lennox Lewis retired.

Everybody for years and years has asked for an exciting HW fighter. One finally comes along, wins a title and gets a shitload of hate. The divison would be a lot worse without him. And even the haters deep down will admit that. Sure he's got a big mouth, and he aint afraid to use it. But he backs up his talk in the ring by his performances.

If anything he's got the whole world talking about the HW division once again.

So give the fukking guy a break and enjoy him while he's here, its a breath of fresh air from the other champion (No name mentioned) who plods round for 12 rounds using his left jab to reach a boring points decision. Haye is all out attack.

Soon enough he'll be retired on top of the world.

[Hunter]

I agree with everything you said with a few exceptions:

- Haye is not the best thing to happen to the HW division since Lewis
- The division would be no worse without him
- Haye doesnt back up his talk
- He hasnt breathed shit into the division

I definitely think the whole world is talking about him though, about how big a snatch he is.

Name a more exciting fighter in the HW division that has came along after Lennox Lewis retired than David Haye ? A fighter that has received this much attention from the boxing public ?

Of course it would be worse without him. It wouldn't have that charismatic figure in it who has that all out attack style. Everybody is only talking about one person in the HW divison. And its David Haye.

He does back up his talk. Went to France to beat Mormeck. Fought Maccarinelli in a 50-50 Cruiserweight bout. Went to Germany to beat Valuev. Haye will fight a Klitchsko, just when the money is right. Haye has just as much power in terms of negotiating as they do.

How has he done nothing when he's won the WBA title ? And please say something better than alphabet titles mean nothing. He's a fresh of breath air in this division that last year nobody gave a flying fukk about.

[porkypara]

When haye first won the wba strap it was a breath of fresh ir to HW boxing but now he has got to back it up in the ring.

If he does not fight the Klit boys then there are not many other interesting HWs out there.


I am sure our David will come good in the end and make the klit fight happen.
