David Haye interview.

[CFH]

I really am hoping that it is not Harrison. It would be a real step backwards for Haye. I was kind of hoping he was holding out to see if Adamek beat Grant then (if he did) took him on in november then after that fought both Klits next year starting with Vitali who I think he would beat now as I've watched both Vitali's last 2 fights and in both it was hard to believe that it was the same man that caused Lennox all those problems. I feel Vitali is ready for the taking and I think Haye can take Wlad too.

I'm not sure he'd beat Wlad, but I think he has a very good chance of beating Vitali. He'd probably beat Adamek too, but that would be a fun fight to watch.

Holyfield is scheduled to fight Sherman Williams November 5th

Looks like it will be Audley Harrison (or at least NOT Holyfield) unless we are to wait until the summer for a fight, I wouldn't be shocked either way though.

CFH I don't get your view of the situation....NO WAY does Wlad lose to this punk, Vitali may be older and a little slower than he used to be but he's still effective enough to beat anyone (other than Wlad), and as for Adamek, I think he's already proven more at heavyweight than the current WBA title holder...that's a HUGE risk to take when it's The Klitschko's that are the big money fights.

Would you give Haye credit if he did take on Adamek then Lyle??

I don't think that the fight with Audley will happen, both Booth and Haye have said they don't want to fight Audley, and Booth seems to keep bringing Adameks name up without the interviewers even mentioning it. I may be way off the mark here but that is the fight I'd like to see Haye in before a Klit fight. Adamek is IMO tailor made for Haye, he is slower, doesn't hit as hard and most importantly is making noise at HW, something that the likes of Audley and co are not doing. Haye can really put his name out there if he beats Adamek and if he loses then we have another decent name at HW and boxing benefits.

Yes, I'd give the guy full credit for fighting Adamek.....providing Adamek keeps showing well, he has to get through Michael Grant and while it's hard to say that without laughing right now the idea of Tomaz Adamek, the guy who got beaten up by Chad Dawson at 175 just got finished beating up Cris Arreola at heavyweight is still sinking in.

As for what Chicken Little and his manager/trainer say about wanting Adamek....didn't they not too long ago say "We want a Klitschko"? Adamek is a smoke screen, they are floating the name out there, maybe they'll even have "talks" but in the end they'll b*tch about the location of the fight, the contract, or they'll cite some injury that Chicken Little suffered and eventually the Harrison fight or one like it will happen. I'm going to explain this for everyone again.....the guy isn't what he seems, he's called out the best but he's made his name fighting the EASIEST competition he could to get a belt and I don't see it changing any time soon as even before Chicken Little won that belt the recent holders of the WBA title haven't really challenged themselves. When you compare who has fought for the WBA title and who has fought for the other titles there is a HUGE disparity of talent.

David Haye is the prime example of why we need 1 title per division.

Only in this era of 4-5 champs per division can one become a "champion" without taking on the real legitimate champ.

And people wonder why MMA is now more popular in the USA mainstream wise is because of shit like this.

There's about 70 odd prime examples.

17 divisons, 70+ champions and only 4 or 5 can lay claim to being the actual "man."

[Hornfinger]

Such a mint interview for so many reasons.

I don't think he beats Wlad and I've never said so. Vitali is old, his skills are diminishing, and I think he's primed for a loss. Haye's speed would trouble him. I don't think it's a sure thing by any means, but I'd have Haye - Vitali as a 50/50 fight. As for Ademek, I'm still not sold on him as a legit heavyweight and I would absolutely favor Haye if they fought.

[El Kabong]

Vitali has fallen off quite a bit due to age and injuries but I don't see any legit threats to him, I don't see anyone other than Wlad that could do better than be a 50/50 shot vs Vitali right now. I give Shannon Briggs a very slim puncher's chance because Vitali hasn't been hurt much and Briggs doesn't have it in him to follow up and therefore he's nowhere near 50/50.

The speed of Chicken Little bothered Valuev....Vitali is more agile and a lot more crafty and cagey than that lumbering oaf. Besides Vitali's awkward herky jerky style would mess with the rhythm of whoever he fought so I think that kind of makes pure speed a moot point. Vitali's defense is also very good, he's hard to catch.

As for Adamek I think if he can decision someone like Arreola and mix it up while he's doing it, I think he's tough enough to out work the WBA title holder.

Arreola is dog shit and is a fat lazy bastard who we will not see in a world title fight again, Adamek would loose to Haye aswell.

Well yeah after last night's performance by Arreola, I may rethink that hypothetical matchup, but I don't think it makes Adamek a fight that Chicken Little wants, it would make Arreola a fight that Chicken Little wants.

David Haye is the chosen one, like Luke Skywalker. He will bring order and excitement to a moribund division and restore boxing's rightful place within the mainstream media. For he who brings order and excitement to the HW division will be the savior of the sport.
