    I think everyone is a fan, but wish he would retire for his own good.

    He is everything that Haye isn't.

    Haye may just be the fighter who could take Holyfield out and make him seriously consider retiring. It'd be a big upset of Holyfield could break down Haye and win, but it could happen, probably won't, but if Haye beats Valuev, he should be able to beat Holyfield.

    EXACTLY.... nothing but a big WBA circle jerk of fights. if Haye wins he will rematch Valuev, fight Ruiz 4-5 times, fight Chagaev 2-3 times and then holly. NO WAY Haye goes straight to a Klitschko if he beats Valuev. The WBA wont allow it plus Don King and Haye dont want it:-:)-:)verysad

    Haye is nothing buy fecal matter. I sure wish Vitali or Vlad could have gone ahead and knocked him out, but Haye ran. Haye has diarrhea of the mouth.

    They only way Haye beats Valouev is if Don King tells him to throw the fight. Chagaev would knock Haye out.

    Bump......for two reasons.

    First, so we can all re-read Farmboxers post above.


    Second, the Holyfield thing could just happen.

    I would not be at all surprised.

    Holyfield quite literally would be at risk of death.

    Still, could be more interesting than fighting Valuev, the walking dead.

    In my book old Holyfield did just as 'good' against Valuev as Haye did yesterday. Holyfield deserved a close points win too.

    Haye - Holyfield is not of the table. See Haye face Ruiz early next year and then (if he wins) either Chagaev, a rematch with Valuev or Holyfield later that year. 2 fights, no Klitschko. Yay. Remember where you read it first.

    But I don't see Holyfield beating Haye at this point. Holyfield is still dangerous against fighters who don't move too much, but Haye would be too fast imo

    If Holyfield fights Haye he'll do better than Valuev did.
    He'll hit Haye hard on the chin. That might be enough.

    And now it will convince him even more seeing how Valuev outboxed the saviour of the HW division.

    True.

    Holyfield will see how bad Haye looked against Valuev, and will think about how well he himself did against Valuev and will draw a conclusion from that. He will think he can clearly beat Haye.

    Haye will leap at the opportunity to fight Holyfield. Nevermind that Holy should be retired, and doesn't seem to be completely with it. It's a low risk fight against a household name - Haye is probably creaming his pants at the thought.

    Next Ruiz. Then Holy. Then the Valuev rematch. Onwards to glory!
