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

[Gandalf]

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!

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??

I think Haye will fight a credible opponent like Adamek.

[El Kabong]

I think Haye will fight a credible opponent like Adamek.

Adamek yes but never a guy like Wlad

[El Kabong]

I think Haye will fight a credible opponent like Adamek.

Adamek yes but never a guy like Wlad

And I mean that "EVENTUALLY Chicken Little will fight someone like Adamek" ...but didn't he have that chance at cruiser

I think Chicken Little MAY end up fighting someone more along the lines of Odlanier Solis (who's shape is coming into question), David Tua, or (depending on his fight vs Wladimir) Povetkin....maybe Eddie Chambers. I think he's a lot like Ricky Hatton, he wants big money but wants to avoid Cotto at all costs.

[El Kabong]

Lefty, I gave that dude a chance 2 years worth of a chance. Surely I talked my fair share of shit about him but in that time he cannot be found fighting anyone dangerous at cruiserweight or elsewhere! He has talked all he can but even you must certainly realize that he's ducking both Klitschko's and that he has not yet fought ANYONE with any power in the division.

[El Kabong]

I believe someone already asked about how many big stadiums the Diva has sold out...Wlad put 50K in the stadium when he fought Eddie Chambers so let's not act like Chicken Little is the big money draw of the division right now Chicken Little is as big as he can get without fighting a Klitschko or Adamek and its looking like he won't ever fight those guys and if you're a fan of Chicken Little I don't see how you can defend his actions. He's made a name for himself by talking shit and running away and that's what you want in a heavyweight champion?

HBO is only bothered by the Klitschko's fighting in Europe which makes the tv schedule difficult to deal with. Ross Greenburg said "If they have big fights in the US or the fights fans want to see most (vs the Diva or Adamek) HBO will pick them up"...is Chicken Little vs Audley Harrison going to be on HBO? Was the fight vs Barrett? Bonin? Valuev? Ruiz?.....then I rest my case

[El Kabong]

#1 Just read that Bernd Boente said that Wlad is so pissed with HBO that he won't fight on their channel ever again.

#2 I'm sorry allow me to explain, in recent years The Klitschko's have had the biggest heavyweight fights on HBO a network I might add that has only shown YOUR BOY in 1 promo.

#3 If Chicken Little won't fight: The Klitschko's, Adamek, or even Sam Peter, and Povetkin then who the hell cares about the guy? The Audley Harrison fight may not be signed yet but it may as well be because the dude won't fight anyone worth a damn.

[El Kabong]

Mike Tyson finally knows who the WBA title holder is and he said "he (Chicken Little) should fight top level opponents before trying to fight a Klitschko"

Tyson also said "He's not ready"

If this chump won't at least fight the Sam Peter(s) or Odlanier Solis(s) of the division then his run at heavyweight is a giant waste of time.
