I disagree. I believe Haye seriously thinks he can beat Klitchko. I think he's deluded atm, but that doesn't mean he doesn't believe in himself. I agree he needs to take some scalps at heavy first. For his own sake.
I see the talent with Haye but he'd be better served by getting on with his heavyweight career. Get a fight with a top ten fighter and then start talking. With some heavyweight cred he'll be taken more seriously.
All these people saying Haye hasn't done anything to deserve a shot, shoot yourself in the head, please. If you had any boxing knowledge you would understand.
So he wants to fight Wlad because he's afraid of Has-been Rahman and James Tubbey? Somehow I doubt that. Anyone who wants to fight Wlad has very little in the way of fear; anyone who wants to fight Wlad in their fight major fight at heavyweight has no fear at all.
It would not suprise me if this was a pre organised square up. its common knowledge that these guys met up a few days before the incident in the video. Just look this post will be on 11 pages by tomorow, how often does that happen? in a year and a halfs time, if Wlad picks up another title, and haye knocks out a few yank heavys like rahman and maybe picks up a belt how big this fight would be. Would sell out Wembley Stadium!!!
Pur-lease. Ok, Povetkin is a live body, but Thompon is not an important fight whatsoever. A Haye fight would be far bigger and more exciting than a Povetkin fight.
I bet half the people who demand Wlad fight Haye excuse Hatton for ducking Witter because Junior hurt Wicky's feelings.
Wlad and Haye are setting us all up. Just wait, next will be a youtube video of Wlad shopping at a Hugo Boss store with his girlfriend and Haye will pop out of the dressing room, talk trash to Wlad and tell his girlfriend that she goes to be wondering what a "real man" is like. At that point Wlad will become incensed, and will chase Haye out of the store with the camera man running behind them. Haye will have a black limo waiting for him outside, no wait, Corrie Sanders! That's right Corrie Sanders will be hiding behind the exit door, and will sucker punch Wlad as he comes crashing out the door trying to get to Haye. This will end with the words "to be continued..."
Two weeks later there will be another video of a bunch of black limos arriving at an old boxing gym. Inside will be the "old money" boxing kings. The Klitschko's, Mayweather, Lennox, ODLH, James Toney, Ricky Hatton, Calzaghe, Hopkins and so on. They will all be sitting around a large table discussing how to deal with this new threat "Mr. Haye". At that point, a dark figure hiding in the shadows tells them to ruin his rep and spread rumors about a glass chin. Everyone agrees and laughs with delight as they know that the glass chin rumor is the ultimate weapon to discredit a boxer. At that point the figure emerges from the shadows, and all are shocked to see that's it Larry Merchant.
