    No shame in having David Haye as the top man in Britain, no shame at all. Even if he fails at HW he can move back down and own 200lbs again at will.

    Well he has a Glass Jaw also so I would not put too much faith in him.

    Please kill yourself, or at least get yourself sterilised. The cosmos doesn't need your genetics polluting it.

    They all suck balls now


    The brits did do good in this last olympics though right? because there wasnt **** from USA, so give it about 5 years and maybe there will be some good UK pros.

    I know Haye destroyed him but I think Enzo could still be a force at Cruiser assuming he avoids some of the more heavy handed dudes in the division.

    Hopefully Khan getting knocked out will wake a lot of young British fighters up and show them padded records get you nowhere in the end

    Bingo. And he's gonna get starched as soon as he faces a decent HW puncher.

    And then all the usual suspects NOW defending him will say, well, it was so obvious ANYONE could have predicted it! :patsch

    Possibly...I'm gonna remember that Haye vs Toney Poll thread they've got going right now, it's the kind where you can see names...no suprise a bunch of people I've never heard of going for Haye. I don't understand it, Haye can talk...and he can do his thing in the ring, but he is basically admitting he can only beat chumps at HW by the guys he looking at fighting.

    I still think Audley Harrison has what it takes to get one of the numerous alphabelt titles, ofcourse thats only if he hasnt lost a substantial amount of boxing

    Well I'd call Maskaev and Rahman decent puncher but I'd reckon Haye would get to them before they get to him.

    He's a ko or be ko'ed fighter, of course he's eventually going to be knocked out at heavyweight(infact all of his losses will probably come this route) it's just about what he can accomplish other than when that happens.

    Everyone knows Haye's chin is iffy, I don't see people denying that, but the question is who will he beat, not who could possibly ko him.




    and Martin Gethin is not a prospect, well at least not a good one anyway. Fairplay to him on beating Fewkes but that was a very strange fight.

    Thought i would dig this thread back up seen as we have a few decent british fights on the way.

    I dont see any reason why David Haye being the guiding light for Britishboxing is a bad thing. The guy is straight talking no nonense and for his second fight at heavyweight is fighting somebody half decent in two gunz.. so full respect and i hope he can handle heavyweight power, i think he will as boiling down to cruiserweight never helped his chin/legs for taking power punches.

    Froch is fighting for the WBC title and i truly hope he wins, im thinking about getting tickets and going to watch this fight.

    I would like to know whats happened with Junior Witter, why didnt he get a rematch against TB????
