David Haye is a joke on heavylevel so far.

If Haye hadn't set us up for such huge expectations and excitement then I wouldn't say he's a joke. Then I'd just say he's a young and talented Heavyweight who is very careful and risk-averse while planning his career. Nothing wrong with that.

But if you take into account all the *BULL***** he has been yapping over the last 2.5 years:

- "I am doing this for Ali, Dempsey and Louis"
- "I will knock out both Klitschkos in 2010"
- "Fighting Wlad will be my easiest fight ever"
- "The Klitschkos only fight over-the-hill nobodies, I don't handpick my opponents"
etc. etc.

then one has to completely agree: Haye is a joke, and a very very sick one at that. Apparently the joke is on us, the loyal boxing fans.

 

agree with everything except the way you seem to be taking the **** out of the next WBA Heavyweight champ, the A FORCE...audley harrison

 

1. The Bonin fight was to test the waters.

2. The Barrett fight was his first in his new, permanent division. Barrett has since gone on to draw with Tua, which is a good result for him.

3. Valuev was world champion and the best choice after both Klitschko fights fell through. Everyone thought Haye won easily, despite the broken hand. The only person to cone close to what Haye did was Chagaev. Neither Ruiz or Holyfield won the fight on most cards

4. Ruiz was mandatory and hadn't been beaten like that, since Tua caught him cold. Not a great opponent but Haye was dominant.

5. The Harrison bout is poor.



I understand people being frustrated but have some sense. He isn't doing that bad, it's just that the Klitschko fight hasn't happened but both sides are confdeny they can make it happen.

 

hes saving the heavyweight division by beating people who shouldn't be there in the first place

 

calm down i was taking the ****

hayes a ***** and only wants the big paydays from british fans

i doubt he will ever fight a klit

 

Besides not fighting either Klitschko he's done what's to be expected, except this fight with Harrison. He should have tried to make a fight against someone like adamek, Chagaev or tony thompson.

 

Haye is clearly a joke when compared to his own boasts and unfulfilled promises. Although I believe he will fight a Klit next year.

If you want to talk purely about his competition I don't think he's taken on guys much worse than Wlad and Vitali's recent opponents.

 

There's no question his best win at HW is against an old Ruiz, so take that any way you want. Another thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is Haye's **** poor activity level (3 HW fights since 2008 ). This surely has to count against him.

 

How come when a guy moves up from Jr. Welterweight to Welterweight or from Junior Middleweight to Middleweight we give them credit for what they accomplish at the lower weight but when someone moves from Light Heavyweight to Heavyweight or from Cruiserweight to Heavyweight we want to ignore thier lower weight accomplishment.

 

Mostly because it's such a huge jump. 7lbs. from WW to LMW compared to 25 lbs. from LHW to CW and 0-100 lbs. from CW to HW.
Before the weight classes fragmented it was a much bigger deal to move from WW to MW.

 

:deal

 

If a guy from a lower class say Jr. Welterweight (140) to Welter (147) if a Jr. Welterweight goes straight to a title shot its okay but Haye gets his shot after one fight and it is he didn't deserve it. It appears the criticism is more for who it is then the jump.
