No, you misread my post. Having a dominant champ, as you said, is good for boxing. But how can you be a dominant champ if you don't fight your only legitimate competition? I think you're struggling with the definition of heavyweight dominance. Having a two-headed monster on top of boxing's marquee division is emphatically NOT good for the sport.
It might not be classy but it cannot possibly paint the sport in any worse light than the casual observer sees it in, anyway. Sorry, but Wlad is downright boring in AND out of the ring and he has done nothing to increase the stature of Boxing or the HW division, so if two moronic Brits breaking bottles and swinging tripods at a press conference can actually build any momentum and interest in Boxing, I'm all for it.
You're kidding right? Two fighters, virtually unknown outside of the UK, both coming off a loss, both without a title. And you're asking if HBO will broadcast?
:deal As much as people don't like Haye and Chisora as people (me included) you can't deny that they are good for the sport.... Boxing needs drama in the sports marquee division to pull in the casual fan... Haye v Chisora will do that which is a good thing
You know I heard the same story when they hyped up Haye vs. Harrison. "It captures the imagiation of the casual fan" and "This is great for British boxing". It's not that easy. If it's just hype and no great battle then people will end up being disappointed, again and again. I think much of the this will depend on Haye's willingness to engage toe-to-toe with Chisora and Chisora's conditioning. If both are in great shape and willing to take risks then this could be a good scrap and secure a title shot for the winner.
You're right, but Chisora ain't no Harrison. Audley knew his only chance was to counter Haye with a big left hand, so he sat back hoping for an opportunity. Chisora can only fight going one way: forwards.
