Dude...he lost weight after the second Peter fight...he lost weight after the Batchelder fight...why couldn't the CURRENT TREND continue into him losing more after the Rahman fight...??? Don't believe it, just watch his next fight.
I dont get why the Klitschko fans are so against Haye. Your hero needs people like him in the division for his legacy. Before Haye came along there was absolutely no interest in the Heavyweights whatsoever. Say what you like about Haye but the one thing he has achieved is he has got us all discussing the marquee diviision again. I think Barrett is a good first choice. He has been exposing people for years, so anyone who thinks Haye is all hype should be pleased with this one. He also said it would take him two years to clean out the division so dont hate on him for his first step on that path. You can bet your bollocks to a barn dance that Wlad will be watching this one with interest. And so will we.
Really? If Wlad ever fights Haye and beats the crap out of him, everyone will say that he just beat a cruiserweight.... Really? Maybe in England, but I certainly was looking to Wlad vs. Povetkin and Vitaly vs. Peter.
His discipline is hardly aone of his greatest assets. You may be right, he may come in lighter still next time out. However, it's equally possible that he could baloon right back up again. His performances against Peter and Batchelder were very much those of a shot fighter. 3 rounds against a disinterested and tired Rahman aren't any sort of real proof that he's back to his best. The man is 40, surely you must admit that his best days are behind him and that he's on a downward slope. Even at 220, he's only a stone lighter than the guy that got near enough shutout by Peter. That kind of weight difference isn't going to turn him from the lacklustre fighter of that night into some sort of high output speed machine. The guy hasn't looked good for 3 years now, and even then he was on steroids.
No problem. I've nothing against the guy and I'd be pleasantly surprised if he came back looking good. However, I just can't see anything other than further decline the older he gets and the more punches he takes.
I don't though. Haye is the only fighter i like from Britain, most of my favourite fighters are Americans or Latinos.
