2) Haye takes an average of 205 days between fights.

3) As a Heavyweight he has scored 12 knockdowns in four fights.

Make up your own mind.
To take your points in order, from an unconvinced but hopeful Haye fan.

1) The average age of fighters in the top 25 heavies is 32, and in a division where age isn't as much of a barrier (see Evander getting jobbed against Valuev) 35 years isn't that old.

2) Would you rather see him take the Klitschko method beating up no-hopers once a quarter in front of big crowds in Germany. He could easily earn his pension in that way, but has said it's only big fights he wants.

3) 12 knockdowns in four fights? I'm not sure I see the negative in this. He's a power puncher, doesn't wear down fighters like the 2k's. Knockdowns are a good thing in my book.

All I'm going to say is let the negotiating teams hammer it out. Like Mayweather v Pacquiao, there's too much money there for the fights not to get made. Eventually, it will talk, and the fights will get made.[/QUOTE




i Wasnt taking sides just stating the facts! Haye fights the older guys, takes a log time doing it, but knocks them down.

If haye wanted more respect he could have easily got it by earning it against the like of adamek or povetkin, both would make great fights then brothers klit would have no choice but at a fight. But instead his mouth is a year well before his head and povetkin is in there first and id put money on adamek beating him to the the klits too. hayes opponet list with out the above four? tua, chambers, arreola. And who says the heavys is dead.
