Haye v Audley - Will it happen? Looks like it might

[J_C]

"David Haye is a false prophet. One punch and that chin will shatter like glass," said Harrison.

BBC Sport - Audley Harrison camp says David Haye talks have opened

ive just read this on fightnews too, he needs to realise that if he got in the ring with Haye or either Klit, Harrison would end up brutally knocked out! I cant believe some of the shit that comes out of the guys mouth, he knows that if he fought Dimitrenko he would get KO'd too so instead of fighting him he vactated the belt. Hes a coward Audley and not in a millions years does he deserve a fight against a champion.

We're getting back to 2007 here, the best are going to stop fighting each other. Time to get back to watching prospects and upcoming fighters, they'll fight whoever are put in front of them, and I don't have to watch the negotiations soap operas.

I'm sure this fight will sell in the UK, but it's hard to imagine it getting play in the US or even Germany for that matter. Not sure what Haye is doing here, just waiting out the Wlad until he's 38? maybe waiting for Vitali to turn 40?

At this rate if he fights Wlad next year, Wlad will be 35 and still be the youngest heavyweight on his resume.

Tomaz Bonin - 36 years old
Monte Barret - 37 years old
Nicolay Valuev - 36 years old (only 10 in Yeti years)
John Ruiz - 38 years old
Audley Harrison? - 38 years old (39 if the fights after October)

I hope he fights him and i hope A-Train lays the smack down.

Wow, just wow.

Haye 3rd round KO.

[BIG H]

If that chump gets a world title shot from winning Prizefighter and losing 11 rounds out of 12 to Sprott it's unreal!

[CFH]

I would love to see Harrison knock out David "All Talk No Action" Haye.

Haye has to be doing it solely for the money. Sky would hype it up like you wouldn't believe and the majority of the clueless public would be taking in by it. Harrison has absolutely no chance whatsoever and I just hope that Haye's people sign up with one of the five fighters they are in talks with. Haye would lose a lot of respect by taking this fight imo. Will be taking the easy option, thats for sure.

Looks can be decieving.

If you were Hayes manager and someone said to you "Iv got the perfect opponent for your man, hes 6,5", 18 stone, can punch and is a southpaw"

The last thing youd think is "thats an easy fight"

I reckon Harrison is pretty confident to be coming out with teh shit already and to be serious about the fight too. Maybe he did a bit better in the sparring than we heard?

It's Audley Harrison - so, yes, looks can be very deceiving as it will be an easy fight.

Everyone SAYS they want to fight the Klitschko's but when it comes to actually fighting them it's a different story. For example a certain person has been calling Wladimir out for about 3 solid years and now things have become a little more quiet, especially since a tv station went bankrupt, the fighter got injured shaddow boxing, and perhaps had a hang nail we really haven't heard much from that guy recently for such a loquacious person things have been silent.

Audley Harrison is worthless.....maybe Dominick Guinn will get a title shot soon

Harrison and Chicken Little deserve each other

[TheMacMagician]

I'm gonna keep it short and sweet. Haye takes this fight, and he drops way down in my estimations. Total balls if you ask me.

I do wonder how many of our British forum members have lost respect for this guy....has anyone just stopped being a fan of his on account of his actions?

If he takes this fight, he will lose a lot of respect from me - even though, to be fair, I've been losing my respect for him since he pulled out of a fight with Wlad last year. Either put up or shut up. (Haye not you).

Boxing - Bönte: No Klitschko-Audley talks

Apparently Audley was told by the Klitschko's that on the world stage he's still a nobody....I wonder if the Britain Chicken will tell him that?


I thought James Toney, Hasim Rahman, and Shannon Briggs were also on the radar of one certain vociferous title holder
