Haye fan but if he fights audley.....

Nobody would complain if Haye wasn't running his mouth like he did before, bad mouthing the Klits and saying how he'd wipe the floor with them. Haye could fight Audley and whoever he wants to and nobody would bash him.

But the way things stand he deserves all the bashing he gets. I'll change my mind about Haye once he's in the ring with Wlad and the first bell rings. Until the he's a fraud because he talks big and then goes into hiding. Disgraceful.

 

can we agree that while the Klitchkos have postponed fighting because of injuries (aside from Vitali's bout with retirement) they have come back to honor their obligations and have not actually missed any fights.

 

Oh come on. Seeing Haye shatter Fraudley's glass jaw would be AWESOME entertainment. We could all take bets on how long A-FARCE would be unconscious.

 

And people wonder why my avatar is what it is.

 

Tbh the fight makes so much sense on a personal level.

they where amateur team mates, harrison stole haye's glory by claiming gold, haye stole it back by winning the cw title whilst audley was losing to journeymen.

plus he is euro champ, he is a credible opponent.

i hope they fight at some point.

 

Wouldn't call Harrison a bum. He's probably about as legiitmate an opponent as Sosnowski. And obviously this is a fight that's gonna generate big bucks for Haye.

It's just that Haye's pattern has become unmistakable. Everyone he has fought has been pushing-40, past-his-prime. The only win against a Top 10 heavy is Valuev.

 

Harrison KO1 Haye.

 

The contract to fight Vitali was the same contract he had already signed to fight Wladimir... Haye simply chose the easier fight with Valuev. It was the logical choice to make from a business perspective, because he won the WBA title and still has a fight with either Klitschko on the table. The thing that upsets me is that he got himself into this position by calling out the Klitschkos and when it came time to put up he acted like a business man instead of a fighter. He hadn't earned a title shot up to that point like he should have by rising up through the rankings, but anyway was given the opportunity to fight for the title based on the hype and drama he created. Haye's actions don't correspond to his mouth and its not what anyone likes to see. He has no excuses now. Make it happen already.

 

This fight would sell in britian. Haye probably would get more out of this fight interms of estabilishing his own name amoung british sports fans then he would out of fighting a much more dangerous fighter like Adamek. Its easy to sell an all british fight to british fight fans so from that point of view I won't be so much pissed that he's fighting Audley but because he's not fighting the Klits.

 

Its a big Money fight for Haye. And as someone who is in the sport as a business man, this is a business decision. Haye can make much more fighting Adamek and Harrison for much less risk than he can taking a crap deal(the Klitschko's are notorious low ballers.) and much higher risk of losing his belt.

 

Everyone pushing 40? he has only had 4 fights at Hw!

 

National rivalries aside....I think I just read that Audley is a credible opponent??? Yes, I did. It's about an inch up in black and white. Are you serious? Who has 37 year-old Audley beaten to deserve a title shot? atsch

 

Then Haye better stop telling us how is "not fighting for money, he is fighting for fame and legacy". It's all BS:

"Money doesn't really enter my head in terms of boxing," Haye told BBC Sport.
"All I focus on is being the best boxer I can be. Money is not the reason I want to fight the Klitschko brothers, I want to prove I am the best. By beating them money will follow but for me it's all about the legacy and the glory."
