Has any fighter had a bigger s**t talk to balls ratio than David Haye?

Great for Haye, but what do we boxing fans get out of it? I don't have a problem with Haye becoming rich but he does so in a way that is pissing us boxing fans in the face instead of providing us with the best possible fights.

 

He will fight a Klitschko at some point in the near future. Isn't he in negotiations now to fight Wladimir ?

I personally thought the Haye - Valuev fight was an intriguing one, the whole David v Goliath thing really gave it an edge. When he wobbled him in the last rounds it was top stuff the whole pub was going wild. When he fought Ruiz he was bombing him with hard shots and knocked him down in the first round. Isn't that what you want ?

 

It would have to be floyd.

 

True! Mayorga is much more entertaining AND he actually tries to back his words too!

 

It's pretty humiliating to call out boxers with such venom and then run the other way when they accept the challenge. Haye has to live that **** down. Nothing other than getting in the ring with the Klitchkos will remedy the fact that he turned himself into the biggest coward in boxing.

 

Toney has fought more and better opposition at HW than Haye has.

 

It's definately not as bad as Haye, but a guy who deserves mention(and I hate to say it because I like watching him fight) is Tavoris Cloud.

The guy has put down Chad Dawson a number of times, some of the things he's said:

"But I won't be a champion who just defends against old men - like the last champion did (a dig at Dawson)."

“I’m baffled, I guess, more than frustrated. All my life watching boxing, I thought the champion had to fight the next available, most deserving challenger, or unify the title. I was the No. 1 contender and he was the champ, but that’s when all the politics of boxing came in – extensions and exceptions – and his promoter lobbied to duck this hungry fighter. I understand the promoter building a fighter and arranging puff fights for more money. At some point, though, a real fighter has to fight the best. You can’t be great just fighting hand-picked, over-the-hill guys.”

There's a lot more, but those two quotes will suffice. It doesn't quite fit the thread because I'm sure Tavoris would be willing to fight Chad. However, it's annoying to hear Tavoris says that when those two old guys he's referring to, Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver, are above anyone on Cloud's resume (well, Woods does have a win and a loss against Johnson). Cloud has nothing BUT no hopers and badly faded fighters on his resume. He even has the notorious Reggie Strickland on his resume, he of the 66-272-17 record when he fought Cloud.

Maybe it's not Cloud's fault though. He's horribly managed.

Obviously the dude is tough as nails and like I said doesn't really fit with the thread but he just criticizes Dawson so much about things that are even more applicable to him.

 

Toney has always had a big mouth, but there's absolutely no way for him to fight everyone he's talked **** about. And the fact still remains that his resume, no matter which weight class you're looking at, is more impressive than anything Haye can claim, including heavyweight.
As for the question of biggest mouth to ball ratio, Haye is No. 2 and worthy of a true boxing fan's ire, but Floyd Mayweather Jr. takes the cake in this regard. Calls himself the GOAT, and hasn't faced a top 3 challenger in whatever division he's been in since 2002.

 

Kevin Johnson, anyone?

 

Good shout!

 

:deal Well he did get into the ring he just decided that fighting wasn't part of the deal... But yeah all that **** talk and that's what he does.. good call

 

Yes but he considering what he's done lately and all those interviews to the sight that hypes fights about what i've previously stated,I find myself hard pressed to not mention him.

 

I don't know if Toney is **** talking in his far too many vids, because I don't understand half of what he's saying. Until somebody puts subtitles in it, I can't give my opinion.
