I use to be a massive Haye fan, but he really does know how to worm his way into getting big fights, without doing **** all to deserve them. Its a joke
LOL, no he does not. The WBA is the WBA, is the WBA (although once was NBA). Fury holds a 'super belt'. Alphabet rubbish should not mean so much to the fans, even if Valuev, Haye or indeed Fury holds the belt. Use your common sense, most would call Fury THE champ; so if the WBA makes Haye and Browne some money good for them, but it should not mean much to the fancy.
Browne is about on the level that Haye should be facing in his second comeback fight- the title is a bit secondary to the event. I'd rather he fought Browne for that title to set up a fight with Joshua than a generic top ten guy with very little intrigue and interest. I'll admit it's not a great look for Haye to walk into a "title" fight in his second fight back but if he fight is in front of a sold out O2 arena on terrestrial TV than that's surely a good thing for the sport in this country. I actually do think Browne is a half decent test for Haye given the heart showed in capturing the title.
Browne is one of the weakest champions of all time. Chagaev is a fat short heavyweight with skill and was toying with Browne at times and should have finished it after the first KD. He got caught by one big shot but dominated every round before that. Haye with his lightening speed, power and reflexes would absolutely decimate Browne. It won't last long. Browne is a total bum fighter, Haye is elite. It's far from a "great fight", Haye smashes Browne to pieces.
Lightening speed, power and reflexes are ok when you're fighting a walking punchbag like De Mori. Seems the Hayemaker still has the ability to con the people.
Eh? Haye had the WBA belt, lost it against Klitschko and then Fury beat Klitschko to win the lot (WBC aside). I don't give a fukk about the introduction of super and regular titles.
Agreed; the half decent test will I think be one extreme or the other. Either Haye will dominate and destroy the brave Aussie (I know, that is an oxymoron ), or Haye will just not be anywhere good enough after his time off and be blown away himself.
Browne is a walking punchbag ffs. Have you seen him box. He's one of the slowest stiffest heavyweights around. Or have you been conned by his "great movement" as some people have been calling it against Chagaev?
Give the man a break he's reached a pinnacle in boxing which he probably thought was never in his reach. Throw into the equation that he beat a quality fighter in Chagaev who in fact despite being past prime is still a better win than anyone Hayes beaten at heavyweight. Haye is trying to con his way into a title shot and hopefully Browne will **** him off and tell him to go earn it like everyone else.
Doesn't matter if we should "give him a break". The topic is about Haye vs Browne and Haye would destroy him. So he beat a one-fight-a-year inactive fat champion after losing pretty much every round in the fight? Haye would have destroyed Chagaev and Browne on the same night with a broken toe.
What will your excuse be when Haye becomes world champion. Because it's going to happen lol. Love the Haye hate, it's Fuking pathetic really. One of our best boxers P4P over the last two decades and people shiit on him. He's coming for the titles and he's coming for Joshua.
Couldn't give a fiddlers fart if he won a world title again, because unless he beats Fury he will never be the true champion. We saw what happened when he fought the bigger, stronger, faster, better boxer/athlete in Wlad. Haye will fight ****ty opponents until he's ready to cash out.
Dumb brits love frauds and losers who don't have any confidence. That's why fighters like Khan and Joshua sell these humble personel even though they're the most arrogant and self concieted ****ers in the sport. Because they know if they were true to themselves they'd get hate so they read from scripts instead and play nice guy, and as a result they can do no wrong to their legions of dumb ass fans Or if you keep losing then they love you. Check out Ricky Burns, or Frank Bruno, these guys are cult heroes, meanwhile they will dog on someone like Lennox because he was a winner. Haye has actually tried fighting the best, proven himself undisputed at CW, sure his HW recrd isn't great but if he was wanting to fight another bum, people would still give him ****. But now he wants to fight a champ, they want to cry and pretend he doesn't deserves it .
