Emanuel Steward: "I fear a showdown between Wladimir and Haye may never happen"

I have all thought on haye on hold unitl after the Ruiz fight , if he signs a klitshcko after Ruiz its all good. If he fights anyone else first ( with the possible exception of Adamek ! ) I wont consider myself a fan anymore

 

Manny should know a thing or two about chinny fighters. He's trained quite a few over the years.

 

His speciality is certainly tall , chinny fighters

 

I'd say the only thing Steward fears more than the fight not happening is the fight actually happening. He'll be shitting it for the duration of the fight, knowing that one bomb from Haye will undo the years of good work he's put in with Wlad.

Anyway, even if Haye doesn't take the fight next it's not a big deal. It took Holyfield 7 fights at heavyweight to become world champion, Haye has only had two (i don't count the marking time fight against Bonin as he went straight back to cruiser) fights at the weight and is already a belt holder.

 

Cmon man , The Klitschkos are the ONLY fight out there ( as i said with the possible exception of Adamek if he destroys Arreola ) Haye HAS to fight Wlad next (or at very ****ing worst second from next ) or he should give the ****in belt back.

 

Well that sucks if true, its the only decent fights left, either that or pov who i like, or boystov who may still need time, or solis if he lost some ****ing weight

 

Tyson and then Douglas were the only fights out there for Holy, didn't stop him fighting fringe world class guys for 6 fights before fighting for the title. Haye is still a baby in heavyweight terms, and although i'd like to see him in with the Klits straight away because i think he can beat them, i wouldn't begrudge him taking another fight or two to get more used to the weight.

 

Its happened before, what with lewis and bowe, hate to see it happen again.

 

I see what you are saying but Holy didnt annouce his acsention to Heavyweight by making a big noise about how **** everyone else was. He didnt have a belt round his waist sayin world heavyweight champ.

its the Amir khan issue , you cant call yourself World Champ and then say there are guys you aint ready for , its bull**** !

 

I'm not saying he's not ready, just pointing out that he is still pretty green at heavyweight. In a better era he'd be a long way from being top 5 in the division, at the moment he's probably only behind the two Klits.

 

So then the only fight to take is one of those two, otherwise he is just marking time and he talked too much **** to do that

 

I don't know, Mayweather talks a lot of **** and yet he's been at welterweight for about 5 years and still not fought a world class 147lber. I agree that he'd **** things up for himself by marking time, and he's made a rod for his own back really. He's probably not really ready for the Klits in terms of experience, but he's made it impossible to get that experience without people calling him a joke. I still give him a decent chance against both, but ideally he should have had 4 or 5 fights against ranked opponents to grow into the weight properly.

 

:good

 

And he also taught them how to cover up and go on to dominate. That of course leaves fools and pastry bakers like you confused forever.
