Haye should forget about Vitali and either retire or fight someone else
By Michael Collins
It’s kind of sad to see former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) still hanging around waiting and hoping that he’ll somehow get a big fight with WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko. It’s pretty clear that isn’t going to happen, and he’s just wasting his time talking about the fight all the time when the signs are pretty clear that there’s just no interest from Vitali’s side.
With all this wasted time by Haye, he could be fighting four times a year and making the money that he would have received in a fight with Vitali. It might take Haye two fights to get what he would have gotten in one against Vitali, but who cares?
It’s not as if Haye will need to take on anyone good in order to make good money in the UK. Haye could essentially do what UK heavyweights David Price and Tyson Fury have been doing by taking on old guys like Martin Rogan, Matt Skelton, Audley Harrison, and Vinny Maddalone , and Haye would do really well. I think it would be more admirable for Haye to stand up on his hind legs and take on Price and Fury, so he can prove that he’s the best fighter in the UK.

Jonathan Banks interview (from The Ring website):
http://ringtv.craveonline.com/blog/1...nitely-changed
Ring: How is everything?
Johnathon Banks: I can't complain. I can not complain at all. I'm here in Detroit, and I can not complain at all.
Ring: How has life changed for you in Detroit?
JB: Well, you know, I was told by a very good friend of mine, Jameel McCline -- as a matter of fact, I just got off of the phone with him.
But we were in camp when I was training with Wladimir when I was told by Jameel McCline, you know, he said, "Listen young man, I'm going to tell you this now."
He said, "If you pull this off, meaning that if you train Wladimir, and you get him this win, and then, you go to Atlantic City, and you get yourself that win, then your life will never be the same."
He said, "I kid you not, but just be prepared for it." Then he said, "I'm looking into your eyes, and I'm seeing the intensity that you're training with, and I believe that you're going to do it."
But when he told me that my life would never be the same, it sort of went into one ear and out of the other. I just didn't think that it would be this way.
Then again, the week of the fight, he said, "Are you ready for your life to change?" I said, "Of course," but really, I didn't pay him no attention.
Ring: So was he right?
JB: Yeah, he was right. My life has definitely changed. But I had a lot of heart break as well, because I just buried an extremely close cousin of mine this past Saturday.
So there has just been a lot of heartache more so than anything, because I had to deal with Emanuel, and then, I had to deal with the fight, and then, after the fight, there was celebration.
After the celebration, I got some calls and did a lot of interviews, but I also got some calls about my cousin being killed. He was just buried this past Saturday, so it's been crazy.
Ring: What sort of demands have been made on your time?
JB: I've been doing so many different speaking engagements. I've been going to so many different juvenile homes and institutions and juvenile delinquent centers and youth homes.
I've been speaking to a lot of children. I've always done that, but now, the demand is higher and the attention rate has improved.
They're paying more attention because the majority of them have seen the fight. So since they've seen the fight, that's what I've been doing. I just did a television show yesterday.
A lot of people were shocked that I was working on Christmas day. But any message that I can get out to the children, then I'll do it.
The guy that I was on the show with, he's a local from Detroit, he said that he's never received that large of a call volume.
Ring: Will you continue to be the perceived underdog entering the rematch?
JB: I will come into this fight the same way that I did for every other fight, including the last one. My focus will be the same, and my game plan will be the same. My plan will be the same.
I'm not about to start changing anything because I have no reason to change anything right now. Just because I was the underdog before doesn't mean that I'm not the underdog now.
Ring: What do you mean?
JB: Well, there's a reason that they want this fight, and there is a reason that they want this rematch right away. They saw something that they think they can capitalize on, and all that I can say is, "Okay." You know?
So that's what they're coming to do. They're coming to try to capitalize on something that they didn't do the first time.
So a rematch is actually more dangerous than the first fight, because they fight has already happened and it's been said and done.
In the rematch, so much can be gained, and so much can be lost from the first fight when you go into the second fight. So that's what this is all about.
This is boxing. Boxing is what I do, and boxing is my life. Am I worried about the rematch? No. Was I worried about the first fight? No.
Am I confident about the rematch? Yes, just like I was confident about the first fight. I don't underestimate Seth Mitchell.
I say it once again, just like I said after the first fight, that I take my hat off to the guy. I have nothing bad to say about the guy.
He's a big guy. He's still a strong puncher. I still have to be careful. I still have to bring my best. If I don't, I'll be in trouble.
