Good thread and nice read. I can inmagine Haye would make a far better mma fighter than Lesnar will ever do.
Haye sounds like Mr Kool "I just remember it went exactly as I planned it to go. I always knew that I was the superior athlete in every way shape or form. I knew he couldnt out-speed me, I knew I was better than him in every department. So in my mind it had always been an easy fight since the first day people started talking about Enzo Maccarinelli. I watched one of his early fights and I thought, This guy has got nothing on me." :roll:
You are rolling your eyes yet every word her spoke was the truth. Plus you have BJ Penn in your avatar.
"I’m doing this sport for the fans and I don’t look at fans as just boxing fans, or mma fans. I think for some stupid reason there is some sort of divide. I think that boxing fans and mma fans should come together and unite and realise that boxing is boxing and mixed martial arts is mixed martial arts. At the end of the end, it’s all a similar thing. You can be avid fans of both sports, just like I am. . . So, to the fans, just enjoy fighting, don’t pick a sport just enjoy all aspects of the sports." This interview made me like Haye even more. He showed respect for his past opponents Mormeck and Thompson (although he did kind of dis on Macaranelli) and he showed that desire and hunger to make some noise in the heavyweight division. If nothing else, it will be fun debating whether or not Haye actually stands any kind of chance at heavyweight.
