For sure, I will be surprised if we don't see a little Calzaghe/Hopkins style bumming.

The only thing I care about is that this fight isn't on HBO PPV for Americans but just on regular HBO championship boxing.

I BELIEVE MILES MAY HAVE THE SAME HANGUP I HAVE ABOUT PROPER ENGLISH. IT BUGS THE SHIT OUT OF ME TOO. CAPS WERE NECESSARY HERE. OK, case closed. I agree it has little shit to do with boxing. Muhammad Ali wrote great poems and never went to school.

I don't think you really need to go to school to know how to use your tenses etc, we all learn a language without direct instruction. But to be nearly 30 and saying something that is clearly quite weird is wrong. It also bugs me when you have people from the UK confusing there/their. I understand that we have localised slang language, but that isn't slang, it is simply using a word in an incorrect form. There is just no excuse for such basic errors. It is a sign of societal decay.

Everybody goes to school so there is no excuse for not learning to use language appropriately. I had to do it, you had to do it and David Haye should have done it. He is surrounded by language every day, there is no excuse for not getting it right. Wlad should knock him out and then give him a grammar lesson whilst the referee is counting, it would likely be the same amount of attention that Haye gave whilst at school.

Oooh, I'm such a bitch!

Ali was a man that knew how to talk and he didn't make such errors, that is very true. There is no reason for not being able to articulate properly unless you have something like Klinefelter's syndrome or Down's syndrome. David Haye is alright though, on the whole he is entertaining and he is clearly more articulate and smart than someone like Khan, who is quite frankly a serious meat head. He isn't Norman Finkelstein, but he does know how to put together fun catchy sound bites. Haye can probably read complete paragraphs too. Khan's Twitter on the other hand has shown us serious signs that he is in fact completely retarded.

Wlad would beat them all in a spelling test!
