anyone actually like both Haye & the Klitschkos ?

yeah i think there are guys that you learn about and as time goes by im liking Haye and the Klits. Not the greatest of fans...but in the ring they do well.

 

I like both mayweather and pacquiao. I also like the klitshcko bros and used to be a fan of david haye, but now i think he's a *****

 

Haye and the Klitschko's are 3 out of the 5 Heavyweights I watch.

And I'm a fan of both Mayweather and Pacquiao.

 

I was a big supporter of Haye at one time, and even now, I admit the man's ability and admire his accomplishments.

But there is nothing more contemptable than talking **** and refusing to fight. As far as I am concerned he has admitted to the world that as a heavyweight, he is not in the Klit brother's leauge.

 

As fighters I like both Pacquiao and Mayweather, pissed off with both of them for ****ing up the fight which I feel both have been responsible for at one point. As personalities Mayweather is a ****in' douche muncher, Pac is alright. I like the Klitschko's as people and admire their domination but they're getting a bit stale, they both used to have more fan friendly fight styles but can't fault them for winning. David Haye has an exciting style which I think will put him at great risk vs Wlad's safety first efficient style- and he also seems like a decent enough guy when he's not felating his own ego.. especially considering he has been less than willing to back it up as of late. - end of analysis.

 

I like both Pacquiao and Mayweather, but if i had to choose one, it would be Manny.

Klits are ok, but not really my cup of tea, cos of their boring style. Haye is a good watch, but i don't like his big mouth

 

I'm a fan of Mayweather inside the ring, but I'm put off by his antics outside. Pacquiao's cool both ways. When the two eventually fight, I'm backing the Filipino all the way.

With Haye, again I'm a fan of his boxing, but not too keen on the way he's handled himself since entering the heavyweight scene. Which is why I'm hoping Audley embarrasses him. If not, then I'd love to see one of the Klitschko brothers crush him. It's weird, because I was a big fan of him in his cruiserweight days.

And as for the Klitschko brothers, I'm not exactly stimulated by their style of boxing, but I do have unshakeable respect for the dominance they've held over their division. They're also well mannered and cool outside the ring. Whenever they’ve fought, I’ve always rooted for them. And probably always will.

 

if you appreciate skill and talent you can be a fan of all four if you are narrowminded you may struggle

 

Just to clarify, you don't need to like both fighters to appreciate how good they are. I absolutely dispise the way Muhammad Ali disrespected both Frazier and Joe Louis, but I appreciate that he was a great boxer.

And back to the original, I'm a big fan of all four mentioned boxers, however Haye has annoyed me lately. He has been making noise for two years now and has done nothing at heavyweight. Back when he announced he was moving up I was hoping he'd ease his way into the division before making noise (ala Holyfield or even Adamek), but nope he talked and challenged and pulled out of two fights with the Klits.

If you want to make noise at least step up to the plate and fight somebody decent or else pipe down and continue easing into the heavyweight division before opening your trap.

 

The thing is people call David Haye a *****. I think what is probably more accurate is greedy. As much as we don’t like it, pretty much everyone on this board, in his shoes, would take this lower risk higher reward fights and we are all ultimately driven by money. He got the WBA belt and since then has seen that there is a considerable amount more money to be had down a much easier path. He clearly chatted **** in the first instance to get himself a shot at the Klits (and what he thought was his one chance of a big pay day). But since then has realised he doesn’t need them to make a decent amount of money.

It’s a sad fact that material possession is rated higher than all else. I find it hard to criticise as I would do the same thing, given you risk your life every time you fight.

Re: The initial question, I like Pacquiao in and out of the ring, I like Mayweather in the ring but not out, same with Haye, I like the Klits out of the ring but not in.

 

I'm not exactly fan of Floyd and Pac but I acknowledge them as great boxers

 

Yeah, i like them all.
I like boxing.

 

Yeah, I kinda like all of them. I'm a Klit fan because I live in Germany and trust me - there's no way around it so don't blame me.
I don't approve of Haye's recent activities but that mofo has some serious skills and yes, I believe he'd be the hardest (BY FAR!) enemy either Klitschko has faced since Lewis. So for Wlad this might be his marquee fight as Haye is clearly the strongest opponent he'd ever faced + in his prime (not intending to discredit Byrd, Mercer, Chambers and so on but on pure H2H basis I see Haye a level above them). So if Wlad fights and beats Haye his resume would actually look like something.

I also do not agree when people label Haye as an overblown CW. Hell, he is 6"3' and comes into the ring as ripped as ever (when he was a CW) without having lost one percent of his foot or handspeed but instead having significantly increased his power with additional 20lbs of muscles.

So if Haye is an overblown CW at 6"3', 220lbs, ripped like a body builder, P4P power and crazy speed then Muhammad Ali (6"3', 220lbs <-- exactly the same physique) or Holyfield who is even smaller with 6"2" and 215lbs which was enough for him to beat the baddest man in the galaxy TWICE are also disqualified as true HWs.

 

Yeah. The adults.
