    Yes I know we all wish the fight with either Klit should've been signed by now but on a personal level Rafael really winds me up with comments like this:

    "If you have any question whatsoever about why David Haye won't fight Vitali Klitschko, please watch Saturday's savage destruction of Briggs."

    Really? You think Haye is gonna stand there and let his face get smashed in just to last 12 rounds and survive? I aint getting into this too deeply but mentioning Haye and Briggs in a sentence such is that is a joke.

    Rafael is a Klit hugger.

    His "Haye-tred" (clever :yep) is quite pathetic for a professional journo.

    He's been on Haye's back for years, can't stand the guy. I'm sure if Haye has a presser in the states this fool would be kissing his arse. Has Rafael ever left america to cover a fight?

    Rafael is a biased son of a *****. Lets not forget Lewis knocked out a prime Briggs, Vitali had a shot to bits Briggs infront of him and could not get rid of him. He doesn't have the one punch power he used to, His legs are not as good as they were. Haye would beat Vitali IMO but lose to Wlad.

    A good journalist is supposed to be objective and unbiassed.
    I'm not sure if Rafael's aware of that.

    It's not so much he's a Klit-hugger, he's just one of these journos that, when he's formed an opinion on someone, tends to hold it tightly for many years and even in the face of evidence otherwise. Ron Borges used to be very much the same.

    Shame. He used to be my favourite of the Ninja Turtles.

    Rafael is a twat but he is just saying what every non UK fan and journolist is saying and thats that Haye is ducking. he has contacts with K2 & Shelly Finkel, but also with Goldenboy & Sauerland so hes not being bias. Hes formed an opinion based on the info he has and like most he sees Haye as a ducker.

    Its not his thought Haye and Booth are **** at PR.

    Whatever unbiased opinion he's formed, lines like this arn't going to help his case.

    "If you have any question whatsoever about why David Haye won't fight Vitali Klitschko, please watch Saturday's savage destruction of Briggs."

    It is a particularly ******ed statement.

    Haye would have done the same thing to Briggs, and probably KO'd him with 6 or 7 rounds too.

    I'm all for criticizing Haye on his bullshitting and ducking and the rest, but to offer the Klitschko-Briggs fights as any sort of evidence against Haye is ridiculous.

    The only fighters who should draw flak for Saturday's events should be Vitali (for fighting the overmatched hapless Briggs) and Briggs himself (who, for all his bravery, didn't even look like a boxer let alone perform like one).

    Rafael lets himself down by making such a foolish comment.
    Alternatively, he's just a ****.

    its not just dan rafael, everyone hates haye for some reason, even before the whole contract negotiations thing

    there is a guy in the gen who says haye is a traitor and isn't english because he has the cyprus flag on his trunks

    i asked him if he knows why haye has the cyprus flag and he tells me because haye represents cyprus because thats one of his parents roots :patsch

    there are threads about how briggs would beat haye now and that haye would run.

    also for some strange reason the poles in the general hate haye for some strange reason even though haye has said nothing but good things about adamek.
