Loook at his way to WBA belt!!! Bonin(ha ha ha he he he ha) Barret(haha he he) Valuev(ho ho he he) and WBA belt is his Now Ruiz!!!! WTF??? Is this because he decide to share maney with Germans?? We know that Sauerland count on Haye in Valuev fight Wilfried was on Haye side , after an agreement with him.Probably with Sauerland still supporting Nicolai Russian wont lost this fight WBA sucks!! Of course it's not Haye fault that he is a lucky guy. But he should be awere that he wasn't even tested in HW and he is a HW champ!!!!That's quite weird P.S Haye was great in CW, he is a great fighter but I feel bad with his Hw carrer. It doesnt mean that he wont be able to rule in HW but please Wilfried give him a chance to prove his skills
WTF are you talking about? How else do you win a title without beating the champion? Anyway, this is hardly a stand out, this is what will happen if you have mutiple championships, obviously you can win a title without beating the best fighters in the division. Edwin Valero and Amir Khan have both recently won titles without beating anyone previously in the division before their title shot.
if you knew anything about boxing, then you would realise that david haye was the undisputed champion in the lower weight division, now when you're a champion in another weight division, and you go up or down in weight, then you automatically get ranked high in those organisations in your new weight division. that's why haye was able to fight for a title very soon.
This. I don't know what more people want on this subject. Pacquiao-immediate lightweight shot. Cotto-will get an immediate light middleweight shot. It's very, very commonplace. It has been for many, many years. Who did Ray Leonard beat at middleweight to get a shot at Marvin Hagler's titles? Sergio Martinez gets a shot at Pavlik's MW titles after one 160-pound close loss to another guy who barely did anything at MW. But they were all already established champions beforehand.
but it is a HW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The God of this division Evander Holyfield fought 6 times in HW before Douglas I think that Haye opponents are an isult to his talent!!!!
Poor old David Tua that was completely inactive and hasn't fought anybody for years? Get a grip man...
People need to understand that boxing is business! you may not like this fact but money comes before honour, before titles, before everything. Marketable fighters will get big fights, thats a given. Also having said this, you cannot play down Haye's achievements at CW, so of course he will be ranked pretty high. Barrett was a title challenger as well, so sure he wasn't a great opponent but he's operated at a decent level.
common golota was inactive after Tyson and got three shots with Byrd Ruiz--- both was a robbery ,and Brewster--shame for Andrew
Exactly. And i think Haye winning the fight clearly shows that he was worthy of being given the shot. You know he just made the HW division 10 times more interesting so give it up. Its the same in normal work. Sometimes people get promotions when they have not been there as long as others. Its because they are more worthy of the position.
