Bunce speculating on Fury v Haye for

Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Shane Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Arturo GattI, Zab Judah, Miguel Cotto, Victor Ortiz, Genaro Hernandez...

 

David Haye has annoyed me ever since he went up to heavyweight. I get the impression that he only really "played" at the weight. Ok he beat Valuev and faced his mandatory but after that, all he wanted was a Klitchsko. His refusal to fight other top fighters and, as a result, staying amazingly inactive came across as almost arrogant and disrespectful. Also, fighting more fights at heavy would simply have prepared him more for his attempt at WK.

 

Wow, you must think Gil Turner is one of the G.O.A.Ts of that list of scalps impresses you.

Seeing as you have Gatti on there you don't have a leg to stand on. You could replace him with Manfredy and it would still look dire. Think it through...Gatti? I'd rather put N'Dou in there (still not elite) Hell, Gatti, Mitchell and Bruseles might be the worst 140lb 'reign' I have ever seen, made up a little bit by the always useful Chop Chop. That was a decent win.

By the way, I'm giving Ortiz the benefit of the doubt but my word is he the worst top five ranked welter of all time....? Certainly not 'elite'.

Mosley-shot
Judah-coming off a loss to the worst lineal welterweight champ ever (who you didn't list either!)

I'm guessing that you thought the above list of names would show me my was unfair. It hasn't.

 

I knew this would become (boringly) dogged in semantics (I.e. what is 'elite')

 

What an eye-popping fight that is....can't wait :-(

 

Fair enough, let's throw that out of the window. Even with all the fighters you mentioned and the ones I did (chuck Jesus Chavez, Emmanuel Augustus, Baldomir, Marquez) it's not as amazing as it seemed (to me) you were making it out to be.

Regardless, no fighter is so great they can **** around. Even Ray Leonard went down in weight when he was the most famous and decorated boxer in the World, to fight Norris.

Floyd should be seeking out the best challenges, or a least fighting, to retain this lofty position as a 'P4P great'.

 

My opinion must be expertise, because when I release my opinions on here, everybody listens, whether they like it or not.

Is it because I'm an expert troll? Or is it because I'm actually right?

I can't help but feel it is the later, I've been involved in plenty of disputes on here, but it's never me that starts them. It is always some butthurt fanboy who reads through my expertise, and spits fire.

The truth hurts. Most indeed.

All of this "hate" erupted after successful fight predictions were called bang on the money, I'd urge my many followers to listen to what I have to say, and make some money of the back of my boxing expertise!

After successfully calling all fights I predicted on the Kell Brook, Danny Garcia weekend, my haters have crawled from underneath the woodwork.

It must just be that I'm the best thing going. I can't think of anything else. The accusations that have come my way have been nothing short of a disgrace and they have gone unpunished.

Not to worry though, I'll continue being me, and I'll continue giving free boxing expertise in the future.

I have called the Witter-Gavin fight, and the future Klitschko-Haye fight, make yourselves some money folks!

Don't hate!

 

I appreciate what you're saying about seeking out the best challenges, but I think we gave up on Floyd doing that quite a while ago and the names he's amassed on his resume are becoming increasingly deep and notable so for me it lessens any potential criticism of not having a throw-back old school attitude.

My original point wasn't really about that though. I'm giving Floyd 'a pass' so to speak for the above reasons, whereas I don't think the younger Haye, with fewer fights, inferior resume, inferior achievements and less money in the bank has quite as much authority to adopt that arrogant mentality of a part-time boxer only interested in 'events' rather than fights.

But at the end of the day who are well to tell them how to circumnavigate their career.

 

This is mostly fair don't really think we have an argument here but 'increasingly deep and notable'? What's that s'posed to mean?

 

Stopped reading @ "Haye v Tyson Fury for the interim WBC crown would be absolutely terrific." Never going to happen, neither is a 'warm up' for Haye...

 

Haye says no chance of Fury/Price in this, seems pretty adamant too.

To be honest I really think he feels it's too much of a risk with little reward, even with the money he makes off a Fury/Price fight (we know that's his main motivation) imagine if he lost. Against Chisora we all deep down knew he was levels above and Chisora hasn't got knock out power, Haye is better than Price & Fury but it would take just ONE clean shot and his career would be ruined. Haye couldn't survive a flush shot from Fury/Price, their size & power is far too risky for not a lot gained.

He'll sit it out for Klit.

 

Fury won't want haye,he didn't want price who he would have had more chance with. Haye stops him and does it early.

 

They dont play at home every week though. Plenty of free weekends.

 

I know Haye has his critics and rightly so BUT the idea of him against Fury is stupid.

So many on here wet themselves during the Haye-Chisora fight and I said from the very beginning it was a mismatch. Chisora hasn't got the defence to last against a fast pot shotter with power.

Fury would look silly and put away in 4 rounds.

 

Yes but look how hard it is for RTL to find a date that suits on top of that. Remember when Waldo had a slight injury and pulled out of the Mormeck fight? Due to them the fight couldn't happen for another 4 months. So that with the stadium/soccer is going to make it very hard.
