David Haye interview.

[rjj tszyu]

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.

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.

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?".

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.

If you guys want to talk about politics there are plenty of places on this site to do so. This thread is not one of them .

No offense homie, if you want to bring up nationality and country and all that stuff into this. The only people that supports Haye's actions or rather lack thereof are his countrymen.

Outside of the UK residents, you don't see anyone agrees with Haye talking shit on the Klits and then pulling stunts like this.

I have yet to encounter any boxing fan on any boxing forum that isn't British that supports Haye's tactics.
