David Haye interview.

[El Kabong]

Haye is the man in the division everyone want's to fight. Therefore he is the man. It's simple.

Wlad has the belts, Wlad has beaten the best, Chicken Little is nothing more than a commentator at this point. Yes everyone wants to fight him because he has run his mouth for nigh on 4 years about what he'd do as a heavyweight and what has he done? He's pulled out of fights vs the very people he said he'd be more than willing to fight to bring excitement back to the division and he's picked off: Monte Barrett, Nicolay Valuev, and John Ruiz, and rumor has it he's going to fight Audley Harrison or perhaps James Toney next.

People don't want to fight that cat because he's "the best" they want to fight him to shut that fucking mouth of his, but the issue with that is that Chicken Little who has been running his mouth is now AVOIDING The Klitschko's....in my part of the world if you say "I can kick your ass" and are given the opportunity to prove it you had best at least ATTEMPT to do it. Chicken Little has no back bone, he is a yellow rat bastard of a coward and it is a shame he even has a title.

All irrelevant. Haye is the man everyone in the division wants to fight.

klitschos need to stop the silly clauses in the contracts and get the pay day they're not going to get with anyone else.

[El Kabong]

All irrelevant. Haye is the man everyone in the division wants to fight.

klitschos need to stop the silly clauses in the contracts and get the pay day they're not going to get with anyone else.

Yeah...as I stated before people want to fight him because he calls out both Klitschko brothers, backs out of fights with both of them and then he goes out and fights Monte Barrett and thinks he's beaten someone worth a damn and that proves that all the bullshit he's spouted off is true. People want to fight this guy to shut him up, making money doing it is just extra incentive.

The Klitschko's offered 50/50 down the middle and yet we have no fight....If the WBA title holder wanted rematch clauses, I'm sure Wlad would be more than willing to oblige...I'm sure he'd LOVE the chance to beat Chicken Little down 2 or more times....if you are truly "The Best" then you don't care how many rematches there are.

And Riddle me this buddy, if the Klitschko fight is Chicken Little's biggest pay day out there, then why not have a go for a few rematches? Why if it's so easy to beat Wladimir and if he's wanting big money then why not have that fight multiple times?

Don't even waste your time with him Lyle he speaks out his ass...Anyone who thinks a guy who runs his mouth is more important then the fellow who holds the titles and has the resume that proves he has been kicking ass is just talking out of his...I can understand Hayes point with the contracts he is not the first fighter I have heard that has complained of such things but again maybe if Haye did not act like such an ass they would not make it so hard for them?....So forget nthe Klitschkos for now...Plenty of guys out there he can defend his WBA trinklet against.....Adamek would drool at the opportunity...Boystov would be a great slugfest...just to name a few....

I love how he mentions that his people are looking around to see what fight is best for him....I think the guy that Arreola barely made it past last night is hpping for a title shot

Who would a heavyweight rather fight?

You can go on about politics and various other crap all you like. I don't care one fact remains. Haye is the biggest fight out there for the klits. and any contender out there would rather fight haye not just for the simple fact that most fighters think that haye is an easier fight than the klits but also they'll get a fuck load of money.

Just because you talk out of your ass doesn't mean you should judge others by your own standards.

Weather haye has proved he is a worthy champ or not is irrelevant. he is the man where the money is. Fact.

Weather haye has proved he is a worthy champ or not is irrelevant. he is the man where the money is. Fact.

Well the first part is kind of easy...fighters fall into 2 categories #1. Fighters who really want to be "The Best" and in that case they choose Wladimir or #2. They want the easier fight and in that case they want to go after the WBA title holder

Chicken Little might make the Klitschko's the most money, but that is a two way street pal, a fight vs Wlad is EASILY the biggest pay day for Chicken Little.

Don't duck the question.

If you were a contender in the heavyweight div who would you want to fight. Simple (just to repeat myself) it would be haye because you feel you'd have the most chance of beating him and you'd get alot of money and exposure.

I'll just take it that you agree with me and thats why you're ducking it.

And what is your part of the world Lyle? Ukraine? Germany? No! Fucking Texas unless I'm mistaken. You have one of the all time great HW's in Big George and you'd rather talk shit none fucking stop about 2 fucking boring shit retards from the opposite side of the world to you, and then you bring up your part of the world? Bullshit is what springs to my mind!

My part of the world is North Carolina and I only bring it up because, having never been to where ever Chicken Little (or Hornfinger) is from I wanted to make sure people knew that at least in America arrogance and cowardice are not good personality traits.

Judging from your posting bullshit doesn't only spring to your mind

Well sorry for that post Lyle, I was a bit pissed last night and the flags are quite similar lol.

I am disappointed in Haye and I won't deny it. As far as any evidence we have goes it certainly looks like he has turned down a 50/50 fight with Wlad to make more money (probably) before he risks fighting a Klit. I honestly think though that at the minute the 2 Klits and Haye are the only people in the HW division who CAN beat each other and I'll get behind Haye until the cows come home because a) he's british and b) he has a very "pleasing to the eye" style which is good for boxing at the moment. The one thing that is not good for boxing though is his apparent reluctance to fight the men he has called out.

[armin]

I really don't get the people that keep backing haye up. I mean dude said he was coming to clean up the heavyweight division like 2 or 3 years ago, now he's backed out of klit fights twice! Granted the first one was the deal involving sentana and that went belly up, and even then he couldn't be honest but came up with some back injury. The second one from all indications was 50/50 down the middle. I don't think you can defend not taking that after talking so much shit and making yourself a name on calling out the klitshkos. If I was kltishko I would just start completely ignoring the dude, and anytime someone mentioned his name in an interview be like "who?".

[0james0]

Haye isn't stupid, he is in this for the money. Everything he does and says us designed to make him more money.

I believe the fight/s will happen, but Haye isn't in this for the legacy, so he had realised there are millions more to be made first. I think his plan came together quicker than he expected.

His final fight, win or lose will be against a Klitscho, I think he knows that so is dragging it out a little now. He is very calculated.

He didn't unify a weightclass without having an eye for timing and match making. He knows exactly what he's doing, rightly or wrongly, he obviously has a plan.

Yep I totally agree. Nice to see some intelligent posting.

Although I disagree slightly about legacy. Haye was undisputed cruiser weight champ before moving up, that is no mean feat. If he was to then become undisputed heavyweight champ that would cement his names in the history books weather it is his intention or not.

David Haye's £10 million world heavyweight title defence against bitter rival Audley Harrison is set to be finalised next week.

The biggest all-Brit heavyweight fight since Lennox Lewis defeated Frank Bruno almost 17 years ago is likely to take place at Manchester’s MEN Arena on November 13.

Talks are ongoing between Haye’s manager Adam Booth and Eddie Hearn who represents Sydney Olympic gold medallist Harrison.



Promoter Barry Hearn, Eddie’s father said: 'I’m not part of these negotiations. My son Eddie is fronting up the discussions.

'We are in talks, I understand the talks are going reasonably well. In the heavyweight division, there is nothing else out there as far as British fight fans are concerned.

'The fantastic thing about David Haye is that he’s burst on the scene and done a fantastic job against Nikolai Valuev, boxed the ears off John Ruiz and put him into retirement. He’s hot.

'People don’t know what to expect from Audley Harrison. He’s been talking a great fight for years, never delivered it. He’s at that last stage saloon - every fight fan in England wants to see this fight.

'The fight’s going to be amazing. I hope Eddie and Adam Booth get this fight together. Watch this space.'
Meanwhile, Vitali Klitschko will defend his WBC heavyweight title against Shannon Briggs of the United States in October.

Klitschko’s management says the fight will take place in Hamburg on Oct. 16.

The 39-year-old Ukrainian says Briggs has 'great experience, has even fought significantly more professional fights than I have and is one of the hardest punchers, in the heavyweight division.

a) Yes we do. He'll be awful as he always is.

b) Every fight in England does NOT want to see this fight.

c) David Haye has still blocked me on twitter. It's a shame as I've sent him a few 'nice' tweets recently.
