I don't feel like discussing these matters with you guys. Haye has a WBA belt at the end of the day. What is so impressive about that win is that Haye was able to change his style into a completely defensive orreinted style to avoid the power of valuev. He was running like Corry Spinks. That just goes to show you how multi dimensional he is.
By giving him a good fight do you mean tasting canvas every time Haye landed semi-cleanly and getting stopped in 5? **** me, Barrett didn't even come remotely close to winning a round, Haye dominated.
To all those knocking Haye for not fighting either Klit yet (after only 2 proper fights at heavy), how many fights at heavy did Evander Holyfield have at heavy before taking on Buster Douglas who, in spite of beating Tyson, ranks way lower on an all-time heavyweight list than either Klit?
I do love the way that Americans make out that Arreola is deserving on the one hand, whilst saying Haye is all hype on the other. Haye's best two wins at heavy far, far outweigh any victory on Arreola's record, which is almost as well-padded as his moobs.
Haye was running his mouth for three years now how he's going to annihilate the Klits and dominate the HW division. How can we NOT knock him? He impressively grabbed an ABC belt but where's the amazing fights and excitement? I quickly got bored of all the talking and would like to see some FOTY worthy action in the ring instead of the tabloids.
People get so bent out of shape just because he talks ****. Do people not realise that he uses it as a tool to get himself the fights he wants? And lets not act like he is the only fighter to do it. Toney has talked far more **** about both Klitschkos and has said a lot worse but comes in for a fraction of the flack. Lets also not pretend that the only reason is because Toney is an ATG. He calls the WALDO and VITLAY out at evry opportunity but where are all the butthurt fans moaning about him? It amazes me that people now still moan that he pulled out of the fight. Boo ****ing hoo. It was almost a year ago he was due to face WALD - change the ****ing record. If he does ever fight a Klitschko, which I think he will, I wouldn't expect a single fan to come on here and say they were wrong about Haye. He has been entertaining at CW and he has a lot of people on here talking. If people didn't give a dehydrated bowl full of ****, then they wouldn't bother taking the time to post in Haye threads. This also makes me think that if Haye is as **** as many people claim, why should either Klitschko fight him? Should WALDO or VITLAY get any credit for beating a trash talking chinny blown up Cruiser who has never beaten anyone of note?? You can't have it both ways.
He will fight the Klits, that anyone actually doubts that he will fight them is just ridiculous. Fighting Valuev gives him a better bargaining position as he now holds a belt so won't have to allow the Klits to totally **** him in negotiations (are you even aware of how absurd Vitali's demands were?) and as part of the Valuev fight he had to agree to defend against Ruiz. Once that is out of the way so long as the Klits are willing the fights will be made. No cruiserweight champion has ever jumped up and challenged the main man in the division in their first 5 fights at the weight, let alone first 3. Holyfield had 6 fights at heavy before challenging for the title, even though he too was talking a lot about becoming heavyweight champion. But i guess so long as you're born on the right side of the Atlantic then you're immune to criticism.
Wait? What? Seriously what the ****? :rofl Yes, actually you are right. Also, Golota gave Lewis hell and Hide was beating Bowe. :blood
And this is pretty much what all of this "I hate the opponents of the fighters I like" concept comes down to. They call the guy **** but then want their favorites to get loads of credit for beating them. Makes no sense.
Come to think of it Ever Beleno stopped Guillermo Salcedo in 5 seconds, but up until that point, Salecdo gave Beleno a good fight. FOTY actually.
Ricky Hatton was winning the second round against Pacquiao by a country mile...Pacquiao is all flash and no substance, I guess.
Ricky Hatton knows that Ricky Hatton was winning that second round. Basing the fight simply on the second round before the knockout and before Pac threw any punches, Ricky Hatton was up on Ricky Hatton's scorecard.
Just before the opening bell I had the fight even. But, I guess if you want to push me for an answer I'd say Malignaggi was slightly ahead due to the way he dominated Hatton in the stare down and glove touching. Hatton's gloves were forced back and Hatton blinked. I'd go as far as scoring it 10-8.
