Haye one of worst heavyweight champs of all time?

[CutMeMick]

Nowhere near that IMO.
He packs a punch, he's exciting and he still hasn't retired...

The worst for me are Sharkey which in turn leads you to Carnera.
There's also room for Nikolay, Rahman & Thomas.

After all the talk, he is definitely a huge let down. All he ever wanted was a belt and a few pay days to finish off his career. Building himself up the way he did and not following through harms his reputation immeasurably. He has been talking smack for 2 years. 2 years!!! You can pass your A levels in that time.

[El Kabong]

The problem with Chicken Little is that his talk doesn't match his actions...he talks Ali and walks Valuev and for the average fan of the sport it doesn't add up. We're (according to his own planned out future) more than 3/4ers through Chicken Little's career...is it a pretty record? Only 1 loss but I ask the age old questions "Who did he fight?" And "What did he prove?"

I also ask "What would Frank Bruno do?", if he was in the same situation. I think Bruno (regardless of what he thought his chances were) would fight both Klitschko's and take his whuppin like a man.

I would say he's a dissappointing champ. I think the guy has very little faith in himself to beat either of the klitchko's so i doubt he can too. The HW division is just a plain mess. I've simply just lost faith in the guy.

We havent seen the best of Him yet

[JonnyFolds]

I know he is talking a lot of smack and not exactly backing it up. But, I still think he is trying to market himself before his big farewell fight. But isn't it in our nature to be impatient? (I'm talking about you, fellow Americans)

I am just glad he made it through the easy part. Picking off some names here and there against top 10 heavyweights. If I were his management, I would not be putting him in there with Tua, Poketkin, Peterson, hell even Briggs. They are playing so damn safe... even worse than Khan! On;y difference is Khan has good opposition in his weight class on many levels.

[El Kabong]

Wladimir gave the Diva EXACTLY what he wanted in a contract 50/50 with no rematch clauses or promotional ties or anything....and what did Wladimir get? A fight vs Alexander Povetkin, that's all anyone needs to understand about the situation. The Diva may be the biggest fight for Wlad but Wlad is 100% the absolute biggest fight for the Diva and Wlad has sold out 50K+ arenas to watch him fight Eddie Chambers so let's chill out with the whole Napoleon complex....ironic that the Brits would suffer from that

the klitsckos dont need to fight haye in my opinion but haye needs to fight @ least one of the klitscko's.

[skel1983]

From what I have read Klits offered straight down the line 50/50 which is more than fair, But Haye and Booth wanted to keep all the English ppv money.

if this fight never happens & then the brothers retire they can claim to be the best since lewis retired

but haye can never claim to be the real heavyweight champ

haye needs to back up all that talk now with some action

There is the problem when he is going on the likes of Alan Carr's chat shows and the cock telling everyone he is the Heavyweight Champ and giving the impression Haye is the second coming of Ali, he can earn top doller fighting fucking bums like Harrison.

[El Kabong]

If all he wants to do is be heavyweight champ of England then yeah...I think he'll end up like Valuev or Ruiz and just fight guys in the WBA top 5. Everyone knows how the WBA works, THEY (WBA, Don King, Sauerland) keep their heavyweight title holder out of unification bouts on purpose (so they don't lose any power although no one rates their belt anyway).

If he just wants to be a fraud or risk getting picked off by someone like Ruslan Chagaev then fine by me, the fans (some of them will hold out, like Lefty) will see him as a chicken shit coward.

[Drago]

i think the opinion of the average man in the street is i that haye is unbeatable

but anyone who knows anything abt boxing knows that he is far from that

[0james0]

I think the celebrity had got him, I believe he genuinley went into the HW division intending on fighting the Klitschkos and cleaning it up, then he realised he'd struck a money pit and the new lifestyle was too good.

Now he's happy creaming it and wants to milk it longer.

I can't blame him, I really can't. But as a boxing fan I want to see fight talk backed up. If you offer someone out, you just get the fights made.

He creates such a charade about everything, in an attempt to draw interest which he does. But he does have a genuine talent, but his mouth runs away with itself.

[erics44]

klits v haye will happen

it is all building up to a mega payday

Haye will have probably one more fight and then fight one of them

and you are all saying he is happy fighting bums and nobodies but who should he fight next?

harrison? rahman? these are the names i am hearing, areola? there isnt exactly a lot of choice
