David Haye-Arnold 'The Cobra' Gjergjaj - May 21/London 02

[ross]

Its a shame Haye never wants to test himself and fight the very best, or take anything like a risk in his career as he is (was) actually a very good fighter.

Athleticism, speed, explosive power and good technical boxing skills. He also, deep down, has a fighters heart.

I've always be frustrated with him, as I could see that latent talent, and then had to watch as he pulled out of fights, avoided anybody dangerous, picked joke opponents, turned into a media whore and disrespected the sport that gave him his living.

Sounds like a proper fighters heart that!

David Haye's new-look physique may undermine his speed, says Lennox Lewis

Lennox Lewis has questioned David Haye's new-look physique, believing his bigger build risks undermining the speed that was his greatest strength.

On Saturday Haye faces Arnold Gjergjaj at London's O2 Arena, the second fight of a comeback that began in January with a first-round stoppage of Mark de Mori for which he weighed 16st 3lbs 5oz - the heaviest of his career.

Despite still looking lean and athletic, Haye explained that his increased muscle bulk owed to his desire to prevent a recurrence of the career-threatening shoulder injury he suffered in 2013.

Haye has always been over rated. His speed meant nothing against Klitschko. Hes had his shot and is now shot. I wont be suprised if he struggles this weekend. Hes banking on an early KO. He may well get it but if this Arnold can get past the first few rounds Haye is going to be in trouble.

Here we go again, Ross shitting on Haye or AJ In fight week, then if he loses or struggles , he says "told you so", but if he bangs him out early it's "another fucking stiff, the opponent was shit and Haye's shit!"

Im not the only one who thinks both Haye and Joshuas opponents are shit!

They are shit!

Hughie Furys last opponent beat Joshuas next!

This cobra is another De Mori, hes fought no one and any recognisable names he hasnt looked great against either.

You sound like you have been mugged by the marketing ratyer than understanding what is really going on.

I dont think he is so much debating that they are shit, but pointing out that you are covering all bases to criticize regardless, as usual, and as you do in reverse for fighters you like. You are the most partisan fan on this site imo, and it's fairly boring.

[palmerq]

it's probably life changing money for wherever he comes from. Probably get himself a house , etc.

in switzerland? :S



what happened to dimetrenko v briggs?

None of the articles or releases so far have explained why Dimitrenko pulled out, but Briggs does love a tomato can!

Edit - A further trawl through media releases, and Dimitrenko's Twitter, might even suggest that nobody told Dimitrenko he was fighting, and he never signed up to the fight!

The fighters I like? Do you mean Tyson Fury? The best heavyweight in the world who beat the former best heavyweight in the world?

Exactly right Sir. I wouldn't waste your time though, because He knows what I'm saying and when he hasn't got an answer , he breaks the post up and answers a little bit that he can.

what happened to dimetrenko v briggs?

Yeah, but he's not Swiss is he? a bit like Lennox Lewis and being British.

[ross]

Its almost like your saying that I have no right to express an opinion that Haye and Joshuas next opponents are not very good BUT at the same time also not point out that Tyson Furys next opponent is the second best heavy in the world?

These are facts as well as my opinion. Geow up sulking you two

You are laughable my friend. you've just done exactly what I said.
Yes , you are more than entitled to criticise the quality of Haye and AJ's opponents.
BUT, if in the lead up to a fight , like AJ v Martin for example , if you say, "AJ will have problems here because this opponent is good" or "AJ could lose", If AJ blasts that guy out you CANNOT say "Martin is shit!" without acknowledging that AJ did well and that you got it wrong and eat a bit of Humble Pie. Do you finally get it now?
btw, How's training camp going for "The greatest HW on the Planet!"?

[Fenster]

If Haye and Briggs really have done a deal to fight next there was no way Briggs was ever fighting Dimitrenko. He'd beat that crazy old sod.

It's a disgrace that Haye is gonna bash the old funker up too.

[ross]

I take it you have been listenng and swallowing what Tyson Fury has been saying again regarding his training camp?

Peter Fury has laughed at sky sports for publishing that. They have been doing regular training videos and Peter has not been out of camp. They did one last night mocking sky sports and reminding everyone that Tyson likes to take the piss. Like they said, they do something good no one wants to publish that. Tyson takes the piss and says hes been dropped by a light heavy and that Peters left camp and BANG thats out there because of jealousy and bitterness.

I watched Tyson do a circuit this morning. Robert Helenius was also doing it as hes one of Tysons sparring partners, along with Eric Molina and some others he was struggling a bit ol Helenius, not sure how fit he is, although hes just fought so youd think he should be fit even if he did get knocked out
