I'm a big Haye fan and have been for a long time now. I'm starting to get a bit tired of all his talking though. I had no complaints up until the Fraudley fight. Barrett (for a warm-up), Valuev (to get a belt), Ruiz (because he had too) and then Audley (why?). I guess an estimated £5 million for taking 1 punch is why, but in my opinion he really does need to fight a Klitchko next - no excuses. I think he's gone down in a lot of people's estimations and rightly so but if you were in Haye's position would you turn your nose up at £5 million for 8 minutes of (non) fighting? If you answered yes then your probably lying!!
Personally I think he loses to both brothers. I don't have him getting demolished like some people say as I feel he has a chance against both. I don't think they've ever been in a ring with someone like David. He's quick and he really can punch. But likewise, he's never been in a ring with anyone as good as them. What worries me is that both Ruiz and Audley (albeit only once) have landed jabs. David won't be able to stand there and take them and I think that's where he might lose. He'll have to try and get inside and that's when he'll leave himself open to a counter. Nothing would please me more though then seeing Wlad wobbling all over the place ala Corrie Sanders!! But that was back in the day when he wasn't so frightened to fight....
