Haye-Wlad - HBO Face Off Video

[Gandalf]

He's just a potty mouthed Londoner. Chris Hitchens is articulate, Oscar Wilde was articulate, Steven Fry is articulate. David Haye is just a big mouth, but he is clearly a better boxer than those other far more witty and slightly out of shape characters.

I actually imagine Mayorga to be something of a poet too. The insults flow fast and easy, with a wonderful sense of diction and phrasing. I would love to read a book of verse written by Ricardo Mayorga.

Ahh but he's the only one in the list that isn't gay

Haha, good point. Though I am sure Lyle would beg to differ.

[Gandalf]

What am I talking about? Chris Hitchens isn't gay, at least not as far as I know. He was definitely married at one time, but I don't really know much about his personal life. Might be, but I doubt it.

[Gandalf]

Oh, scrap that, he seems to have written about his homosexual experiences. I never knew he was a big bender. You learn something new everyday!

I didn't know either I just guessed he was

Mayorga is very talented. I particularly liked the one entitled "I shagged Oscar's wife four times in one night". It was very touching and full of tenderness. The man just has a feel for language and knows how to put words together. "I love my Mum" is another very good one. It's all about how he has been made a man because of his mother. Lovely stuff indeed. "Penis mountain" is just downright weird though and he was quite likely off his head when he wrote that one. Still, all in all a top notch poet.

He IS talented. The downright weird ones are second on my list, but the touching ones that are often filled with tenderness I do prefer. About being "quite likely" off his head I have minimal doubts: he was well OUT of his head on "P M" in all likelihood. Only "Thirteen Disappointments of My Teenage Years" struck me as under-par.

Hitchens has some decent ideas when he sticks to a more Conservative Libertarianism, but other than that he's a nutjob.

Miles, for future reference anyone who has that much love for Gore Vidal is gay.

Mayorga published in 2005 a half dozen or so iambic pentameter sonnets from his house in Tegucigalpa. The titles of 2 I remotely recall. "Startin' to Smoke, Pink Wig Puffin' " or something like that. Then there was a weird one like "I'll Rock His Socks Off, I'll Sock His Rocks Off" or something like that also.

As for Haye he is certainly a boor, a cretin, an obnoxious illiterate, worthy of a 2nd round shellacking. I preferred to listen to Jesse The Boogeyman Ferguson's postfight interviews.
