Holyfield - 2 1/2 years + 7 fights

Some light-heavyweights have moved up in weight and challenged for the HW title with hardly any fights at HW.

 

I remember when a supermiddleweight champ went up to light heavyweight and fought for a belt first time out.....

 

****ing christ are you gonna make another thread bashing Haye? This is what your 40th this week?

There is not a peak Tyson roaming around the division today either is there? Haye will be a top 5 Heavyweight with just one impressive win in a tune up fight against a top 15 opponent that is how shitty the division is now. :yep

 

Sorry I have not had the time to check. I have seen many of your posts and you have not said a good thing about Haye in any of them, in fact it is just "tosser" this and personal insults to other posters that support him.

Like I said there are not 5 heavyweights in the world right now that could beat David Haye unless they connect with a lucky punch. **** getting in line. Hatton did not have to, Calzaghe did not have to why does Haye have to with that absolute embarassment of a division? The Kilt brothers and maybe Sam Peter are the only fighters I would favor over Haye.

 

Memo to Haye:
Perspective is a mutha****a! :smoke

 

What about Hatton? He called Floyd out, and most give Haye a much better punchers chance than they gave Ricky. I thought it would be a clear UD for Floyd and he ended up stopping Hatton.

He called out Wlad, so ****ing what? How many great fights in boxing would not have been made if fighters did not have any balls and call out other champions? It is part of the sport, get used to it.

 

in holyfields time there were actually decent heavyweights

 

No PBF/Hatton was not made. :nono

He was just getting Wlad's attention. Do I agree doing it at a fundraiser? No, but it was before the fundraiser even started so it is not that bad.

 

Well put.

 

I think there's one glaring problem in telling haye to "get in line," that problem being the fact that there really isn't a "line." Who, in your opinon should Klitchko be fighting next? The most "deserving" challenger at the moment is Tony Thompson who Wlad will be fighting next anyway. I just don't see how anyone could argue that throwing developing guys like Povetkin and Arreola in with Klitchko will make a better fight than him and Haye. I think it's already been established that Wlad has a shaky chin so the whole argument about Haye not carrying power up to heavyweight is sort of moot in a fight with Klitchko. I mean, Haye's been knocking cruisers into the cheap seats and already KO'd Bonin at HW, who despite having an inflated record, is in actuality a current "prime" heavyweight. Having Haye prove himself in some meaningless fight with a past it Rahman, who was losing on the scorecards against Zuri Lawrence the last time out would be utterly pointless. Haye isn't going to learn anything new knocking out has beens and untested prospects in a ridiculous bid to move to the top of the "line." I guarantee if he knocked out Arreola, Rahman, Greenburg, Witherspoon, and the exhumed corpses of both Tony and Holyfield people would still say Wlad would murder him so why not get on with the fight post haste? Haye's already been off the deck to win and has been knocked out so how is fighting jokers at HW going to teach him more than he already knows? Regardless of division starching bums proves nothing and teaches a fighter nothing so I say make Haye-Klitchko ASAP and at worst we see Haye get blown out ala Ray Mercer. After all 1 round of Haye-Klitchko will still be better than all 12 of Klitchko-Ibragamov.
