Ha. Yes we don't have a contender in the heavyweight division, that much is true. But how much does it say about your boy(friend?) that guys like Eddie Chambers, Kevin Johnson and Tony Thompson have all jumped at fighting a Klitschko before Haye? Haye could actually stand to gain by fighting Chambers, Johnson and Thompson right now actually. All those guys are better then Audley and by a good margin. Even Kevin Johnson.

To be fair, Eddie Chambers, Kevin Johnson and Tony Thompson can't draw 20 odd thousand to watch either of them fight a bum. They would if they could. Practically anybody would. If you had the draw power, you'd line your pockets as much as you could before tackling either Klitschko. Realistically Haye has little chance of winning, so after that his career is done with. He's doing what we'd all do in his situation. The only reason he's calling the Klitschko's out is to line his own pockets. It's self promotion, putting your name at the side of a widely known fighter. He'll fight one of them, possibly even both of them depending on how he does, so i don't see the problem.
To be honest, i don't even know why i'm even defending Haye. I ike him, but i'd love it if he got ko'd by the A-Train.. I feel the same as MarkTKO feels really.

No I agree %100, however, Haye has been so sharp in his criticism of the Klitschko's and reckless with his mouth that bigger things were expected of him. He was the one who called himself bigger then Holyfield. He created this monster and yeah it may make money, but it's AUDLEY HARRISON. It's more then a joke. So yeah he's making money but because of his own mouth we are allowed to criticize him moreso then we would any other fighter. Plus you have his fans like Hornfinger and Lefty who go to the furthest possible extent to defend the guy and call Klitschko a bitch when the reality is just what you posted. That doesn't help things.

Yes you really can. Where is that video of Haye after the Enzo fight where he criticized the whole division and said he was different. Or the escalator confrontation? Or the talk after the Barrett fight? He's gone against his own word consistently so yes you can criticize him because he's the one who talked himself up as being different and going straight for the title. When Wlad told him to wait in line, he said he didn't have to because he was better and only the champions matter blah blah blah. Then he fought Valuev and beat him less convincingly then Evander Holyfield did, wasted time fighting his WBA mandatory and now fights Harrisson. It's garbage. '
This was 08! It's been 2 years and nothing. Note that Barrett was supposed to be 'big, dangerous and a name.' He brings all this on himself.
You should have just said "Lyle, all your seemingly inane rantings from 2008 regarding this one fighter were 100% correct and well founded"...and I would have just say "Thank you, I was just doing my due dilligence as a boxing fan"
I posted all the videos, I told everyone Chicken Little was nothing but a little punk, and I told you that if Chicken Little does fight Wlad then Chicken Little will get STOMPED...when, when will people start to believe meHe compared WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO to Enzo Maccarinelli and Alexander Gurov...really
I mean REALLY?!?!
Wlad said it best (all you Chicken Little fans pay attention) "TALK IS CHEAP"
....After listening to that commentary no fucking wonder Setanta went under

Just for future reference they've already rubbished the idea of fighting Chagaev. I actually do respect Ruslan, he's a tough dude and has had some hard breaks, the hepititus, the achilles injury, seemingly being "stuck" as a WBA fighter...its a shame. He was willing to fight Wlad on short notice (and vice versa) and that took guts.
No its a crap fight Audley Harrison was losing to Michael Sprott, until he actually since 2000 decided to throw a punch without thinking of the consequences. And scored a miracle come from behind KO against a C level fighter.
I haven't been following the Haye vs Klitschko nonsense, but if that fight couldn't be made why not fight.
Alexander Povetkin
Ruslan Chagaev
Tony Thompson
Chris Arreola
Eddie Chambers
Odlanier Solis
Hell even fighting the Sam Sexton vs Dereck Chisora winner would be better.

Yea i know mate but to me its still rubbish fight, i just hate all this waiting for the big fights. I was really buzzing about a possible Haye vs Klitschko fight, and its bit of let down to have Haye vs Harrison to say the least LOL, im actually interested to see how far Dereck Chisora goes.

There's too much money to be lost, and infact too much is made of a fighter losing, for a fighter to go and take risks against tougher opponents for less money than he could make for fighting a better know but lesser skilled guy. Sad but true. It's not just Haye. A lot of fighters are the same. If i was in Haye's position, i'd probably take the Audley fight, knowing i can make a hell of a lot of money and i could beat him with one hand.
