    There you have it Klit fans. Not only did Haye have a bad toe, he was also scared to hit a white man in Germany. It is now clear Haye deserves a rematch outside of Germany where he has a fair chance of cracking Wlad's china chin.


    King adds: ‘Haye would never have fought that feebly if he had been with me. He had the charisma
    and style to revive heavyweight boxing but, in a stadium full of Germans, he became one of many
    fighters I’ve known who were afraid to hit the white man.
    ‘The least he could have done was go down fighting. I don’t think his confidence can ever recover from what happened. Certainly not with his current crew around him.’

    Quite misleading.

    I don't think he meant Haye was afraid to hit a white person. He's just saying Haye, surrounded by a crowd supporting Wlad, became just a little gun shy.

    "...in a stadium full of Germans, he became one of many fighters I’ve known who were afraid to hit the white man."

    'The white man' is just a reference to Wlad. He was afraid to hit Wlad, as oppose to being afraid to hit white people.

    Trust don king to say such nonsense. Haye won his title in Germany against a " white man".

    I think that is being a bit kind to King. There are plenty of ways he could have phrased that. For one, he could have called called him Klitschko or Wladimir, or the Ukrainian or Eastern European, or the big ****er. Anything really. But he has to say 'white man'. He is making it a race issue.

    Similarly, he also says a stadium full of Germans, neglecting that their was a significant number of British fans. Germany obviously has racial baggage and I think he is alluding to that.

    IMO King is stoking the racial flames here and making the point that his black champions back in the day where not afraid to spark a cr*cker.

    Yeah, you're probably right. King's had a history of bringing up race.

    Funny that, I could of sworn there was 1 or 2 English types in the crowd. What with their constant shouts of "who are ya, who are ya" as the heavyweight champion of the World made his ring walk. Cringeworthy.

    Yeah, there were loads of 'm... but almost all of 'm were WHITE :D
    And they kept reminding Haye that he was on his own down there, with their constant "There's only one... David Haye!".
    Must have been quite intimidating for poor David.

    Surprised King listed Larry Holmes as on of his favourite fighters of all time.

    Also he confirms in the interview that he lent Mayweather $500,000 recently, which is weird.

    This is the same King, who told Tyson he needs to leave Cayton and sign with him because the whites and Jews were out to put blacks in g** chambers

    Like Tyson said, King would sell his own mother for a $

    And it all becomes clear doesn't it? All the talk of how weak the heavyweights are today. How boring they are, how they couldn't compete with the greats (insert negro images here) of the past. It's all racially motivated........ The heavyweight division isn't weak, their just the wrong color..............
