Haye's version of why klitschko fight didn't happen

[amat]

Yes I get that boxers are about making money, that's a GOOD thing. However, when you talk an extraordinary amount of trash, say you're coming to the division and not even going to fuck around with the other contenders and then say you're happy with your resume of Barret, Valuev and Ruiz then you will be criticized. Just because he is out to make money doesn't make him immune to criticism, and we are only holding him to the standard that he promised us.

Barret, ruiz and valuev ain't great. but really who else is there?

peter, arreola, briggs, tua, sosnowski, johnson, chagaev, povetkin, chambers, meehan.....

It's all much of a muchness. they're all fat and they're all cack

IMO there are four fighters at heavyweight, Haye, Ademek and the klits. If they ain't fighting each other they're fighting substandard oppo.

That is how I see it.

It's a game. Without publicly chasing the Klitschko's, Haye wouldn't be the name on everyone's lips. He's creating publicity for himself and in doing so he's securing his financial future, and the more he wins and sells out arena's at heavyweight, the bigger say he'll have in contract negotiations with the Klitschko's. I understand the criticism, but people have to realise what he is doing, and they have to understand he was always going to do this.

I realize what he's doing but because of this I will be criticizing him. Fair enoough right?

Holyfield has called Haye out. I think he might just accept if Evander cancels his fight in November. I know this is still not an acceptable fight as Evander is way too old and should have retired after the Lewis fights IMO, but it is certainly better than Haye vs Harrison, and of all the jokes that make up the American HW scene Evander is by far in the best shape. Problem is Haye might just get more credit than he deserves if he fights and beats Evander, as it is a name that everyone in the world knows and although everyone knows he is very old, the everyday man in the street would find this fight easier to relate to due to the glory days of Holyfield being the last time boxing was truly great.

Yeah it's fair enough to offer criticism, but some people are going way over the top with it.
