Does anyone else find this Haye situation funny?

Haye has to blame himself for that. He calls out the whole division but then he doesn't want to fight nobody.

He should just announce a credible opponent to stop that. I mean many credible HWs are ready to travel to London and take the fight if they get a fair deal. But either Haye claims they're not good enough for him, like Toney or Barrett, or he argues that they ask too much money, like Chapman or Rahman - which is not surprising at all since he's only offering them 100.000-140.000 $. And Kevin Johnson is ready to fight him anyway, but Haye claims he doesn't want the fight - which Johnson denies. I call it a bluff... and I think it's just part of Hayes strategy: he wants to fight a bum for his second fight at HW, and at the same time claim that everybody else 'ducked' him, but everyone with a dozen braincells left can see through this farce. I mean, even Haye considering to fight somebody like JD Chapman after all the talking he did is a bad joke...

I have no problem with Haye wanting to play it safe and looking for an easy opponent, but he should have been honest about it and stop this whole soap opera thing.

 

Yes, it's in his contract with Setanta.

 

thats hilarious..

you know he fought not too long ago in Annandale VA ....

 

really? i live in alexandria, va right down the road from annadale. i've heard of fights in fairfax and springfield, but never annandale.

 

i know you do. I live in Alexandria. you reponded to my post in the lounge about who was from va/dc/md area..

yeah this was a few years ago, they actually advertized it on the fightnews..lol

 

i tihnk he knows this lay off is going to hurt him and the more time he takes off the easier fighter he wants so he keeps turning down even **** fighters

 

his lay off aint been too long

 

Hype machine at the moment. Best Cruiserweight in the world for what thats worth. Good to get off the floor in France to win.

Lost to Carl Thompson, knocked down by Mock and Mormeck. Whats a decent heavyweight going to do to him?

He's probably going to be a heavyweight version of Khan I'm afraid.

His punches won't have the same effect at heavyweight, his speed will be decent, his chin will be worse.

Why all these names in the hat, if he's that good fights with Skelton, Splott, Danny Williams and the welsh heavyweight should be made first.
At least have a fight!

A named heavyweight fossil dug up won't prepare him for W Klit let alone V Klit.

 

I already said this before. I'll fight Haye. I am willing to go to his own backyard and fight him and all I want is 50K. Also, I expect lodging and travel to be taken care of for me and my family. If I'm going over to kick some (or get some kicked) the least he can do is make sure my family's needs are met. I promise the minute I get in the ring with him, that he will be in a fight for his life, because I'll be fighting for mine. I'm not going all the way to England to lose. I may only be 185, but so was Marciano. If I win, the rematch is in my backyard and I get to chose the time and date of the fight. Even though I've never fought a single amature or pro fight, I'm ready if you are Mr. Haye.

 

Oh......I thought you were talking about how Haye claims there are no fighters wanting to take him on at HW when James called him out and said he'd go over there to fight him yet Haye doesn't acknowledge this one fighter who is willing to make it happen. That's funny to me.:rofl

 

My cash's on you, Boxfan!!! I smell an upset!

 

Haye and/or his handlers seem to be very indecisive, to say the least.

I think at this point, he must realize his career path is becoming big joke to boxing fans.

 

atsch Oh I love it, months of circus, then KTFO! What makes me lollolol is that all the comments he makes of being great, best in the world, and I'll beat W Klit will be replaced with lololols and multiple avatars and animated gifs showing him being knocked out in highlight reel fashion.

 

can he please fight james toney?


that would prove a lot and probably be the biggest money fight he could make now. JUST DO IT

 

Why would he think the 'lay off' would hurt him. The fact that his next fight would be in November was announced immediately after his last fight, as he wanted to allow time to build up for the higher weight.

He last fought on the same date as Sam Peter last fought.
