I can't believe any thinking animal with two eyes and a brain could claim that: 1. It was fairly close 2. haye had the tools to beat Wlad 3. Haye showed he could beat Wlad in the 12th The mind boggles that such points of view could be conceived by a reasoning mind after watching that fight. Haye got crushed, schooled, ****ed up and made to look like a big mouth ****ing ****** who can't even enter or leave the ring with some dignity. The interesting thing is anyone who really follows boxing knew it could only end like this. Anyone who watched either the Valuev or Harrison fights knew he couldn't beat Klitschko. If you fell for his bull****, more fool you. Where does he go from here? I don't know and I couldn't care less.
Haye in a real pickle with the last career fight situation, if he did rematch wlad and managed to win, then surely there would be a trilogy, obviously vitali and adamek are tied up with each other and I'm pretty sure ray austin got battered in a wbc illiminator last week. Which puts haye even further down the pecking order, would he lower himself to a possible clash with fury/chisora? Or as I suspect a massive swansong at the den v evander holyfield lol
Exactly. I think Haye had a better chance you've said, but still, people shouldn't be slagging him off for this fight. Im just as dissaponted with Wlad for playing the normal jabfest game and never even trying to knock Haye out. He looked very uncomfortable throughout that fight and wasn't happy after. I also think the fight was a lot closer than the judges had it. A lot of rounds, Wlads jab wasn't even landing properly.
Haye wants a rematch atsch Beat someone like Sam Peter, Eddie Chambers or Chris Arreola then we'll see.
No doubt he'll be after the same split aswell. With no belt Haye is going to become a pariah in the HW division. Step on people on your way up and they'll kick you on your way down.
If the rematch was held in my garden I'd close the curtains, can't believe I pad £15 for that......never again.
Wlad should actually offer Haye a rematch. Terms: * Haye must finally beat one genuine top 10 contender in the heavyweight division * Fight takes place in 2012 in the location that makes the most money (so Germany again..) * The purse is split 90/10 in favour of the champion * David Haye is contractually obliged to shake the hand of the heavyweight champion every single time it's requested of him. If not, the contract is voided * Haye must update his twitter daily with photos of both feet and hands just so every one knows the full story
Povetkin or Arreola next would be great. Would not surprise me if he ends up fighting for the WBA 'regular' title atsch:nut
Move back down to cruiserweight, where he will destroy all comers and where people can see him box at his best.
Fight an eliminator for Vitalis title. Win that and just hope that he gets an 80-20 split for a fight with Vitali. This setting of an retirement date has really screwed him.
