Tyson fought Holyfield 2 months after Seldon

I think the problem is having to wait until May 1st to know if your going to fight or not.

 

Tyson...known worldwide, people expecting excitement/KO's/controversy.

That's no doubt an unfair comparison really. Haye will never get that amount of spotlight Tyson had/has.

 

Great Point

 

But its the fact that he did and everybody and haye said it was impossiable andhe is wrong and pussed out

 

True, but Tyson is arguable the most Coveted fighter of all time!

 

hayes unknown in the us and everyother country other then uk to a casual boxing fan go outside and ask 100 people who david haye is and 15-20 will know 95-100 would know who tyson is and holyfield was also twice the draw klitschko ever was will be

 

I think this is a major reason...

Haye no doubt wanted just two bouts this year (Wlad and Vitali...assuming he got past Wlad). He couldn't sign to fight Wlad because Wlad had entered a contract with Chisora, which scuppered his plans of going after Wlad next...he would have to fight his mandatory first. And basically I don't think he wanted to fight more than he had to.

 

If you look through Boxing History you will find World Champions that fought every 2 months or even sooner than that. Haye is full of ****. Haye likes to take huge layoffs between fights and I guess because he can't get ready in 8 weeks he thinks nobody else can either.

 

You can't compare that bout to Wlad vs Haye, but of course there's no problem at all with it beïng only a 2 month period inbetween...

It was nothing more than Haye's slight opening to a new excuse, and his fans and the British media buy it without thinking it trough.
When is Haye (if ever) going to step up?
Lewis fought a Klit, Hide fought a Klit, Williams fought a Klit, Chisora is fighting a Klit... It's Haye's turn on July 2.

 

cant compare tyson and haye, haye needs months of a buildup to this fight to convince some people he is legit and to buy the fight

 

I think the Tupac murder had a effect on Tysons career, he was never the same!

 

really?
I think it was prison/that long break/ don king/ money / women trouble that lead to Tyson's demise i dont think tupac being alive wouldve changed the way tyson turned

 

It was a joke! But watching Espn 360 this is what they believe

 

No Heavyweight should need a certain amount of time between fights, all they need to do is stay in shape, they don't need to boil down in weight or anything.
