    I have barely no excitement for this. So much hype its hard to believe...but i think the hype would have been better reserved for Haye vs a Klitchko.

    Im far more excited for Pac/Cotto and Ward/Kessler

    Anyone else feel like this?

    Im not hyped at all, Hayes gonna blow Valuev away.

    Im still going to watch though, cos Im hoping against hope that Valuev somehow manages to land on Hayes china chin, but its a long shot. If a shot Holyfield can outbox Valuev easily, the young & fresh Haye will have a field day.
    I dont like Haye one little bit, hes a horrible person.

    However, Im not letting emotion cloud my judgement. Haye is a **** hot fighter, lightning fast with dynamite in his fists. We all know hes got dodgy whiskers, but a slow ageing fighter like Valuev isnt the man to land the shot that sends Haye into ***** street.

    & thats why Im not hyped. I actually think its a bit of a mismatch in all seriousness.

    Mate hes playing the "Ali" role...Hes havin to be the one to sell the fight as Valeuv is not a talker.
    If you see any of his videos outside of boxing he seems a nice guy.

    This is what i said immedietely after this fight was announced. :good

    btw "i'm more excited about Pac/Cotto" is the understatement of the century.

    I know that my good man. I already moaned about his Ali wanabeeness in an earlier thread.

    Thing is though, only Ali ever got away with acting like Ali. When anyone else does it? It simply doesnt work.
    Thats just my opinion though.

    No.

    Its one of those fights where people are divided.

    Hate to see what your like when Khan Salita comes up...

    I'm not too excited for this circus act and the fact that lots of people i know who care little for boxing are talking as if this is the biggest fight boxing has to offer is pissing me right off.

    If casuals are going to tune in to a fight i'd rather they did so for something that will be potentially more exciting than the shower of **** i expect this to be.

    Regarding Hayes antics, i don't mind the trash talking when he is selling his fight but i doubt the cringeworthy press conference "stand off" farce and the ugly mask on the pads did much to sell the fight.

    Anything with Valuev in, nope, not excited!..he's a nightmare to watch. But Haye will balance that out, and i hope for the good.

    i am missing it live, due to over -time work..what a *****, but ill catch it in the late am..

    I can't wait for it. I just get the feeling it will all go horribly wrong for Haye....
