I'm not really a fan but I say good. Good, good, good. And if he can beat Valuev, he has done the HW division a far bigger favor than he did for the CW division. If he stops Valuev and fights one of the K brothers, win or lose, I might become a fan. I wouldn't root for him against Wlad or Vitali but he might grow on me if he gets rid of Valuev and follows through trying to fight the other champs.
:think Won't that be the first he's fought in 12 months. For the guy to even attempt to compare himself to Holyfield is just ridiculous, he's put in absolutely 0 work in at HW
we've heard his mouth all year and all we're getting in return is a fight with Valuev in November....are u serious??
Imo he is good for boxing. He has done a lot, at least outside the ring. Trashtalking is familiar with boxing, for many years, there wasn't anybody like David, he's rude, that's fact, but he brought up some 'colors' and controversy to press conferences. He's also a skilled boxer and is entertaining to watch in the ring, so tbh he's good for boxing.
3rd fight at heavyweight and he is challenging for a HW title against a man mountain beaten only once. He is the underdog and all this after 20 + fights to boot. What's the ****ing problem?
My problem is he hasn't done anything to back up the smack he talks. I myself, of all people, was slightly ammused by Froch when he started trash talking; because he had taken the necessary steps to prove himself. Haye simply has not
And then talking about how big and hairy, and ugly, and smelley Valuev is just makes him look even more like an effeminite little school girl for goodness sakes. Now don't get me wrong Im pulling for him, I think the HW division needs guys like him and Cunningham to put the pressure on guys like Arreola and Peter to physically prepare themselves for success in the division.
He's proven himself just not at heavyweight. However, he is fighting Valuev. So again I ask you, what is he supposed to do from now until fight time to prove himself? The arguement was that he was talking without competing but is fighting Valuev in a couple of weeks. :blood
It's name calling. :roll: It's not like he sucker punched Valuev at the press conference or something like Bowe did to Donald. I've seen schools take name calling less seriously than some on ESB.
