People shouldn't be so rough on David Haye for cancelling his June 20th fight with Klitschko. Haye turned heavyweight only a few months ago...he deserves one to two years of preparation before facing Klitschko. Boxing fans who expect Haye to rush into a Klitschko fight are unrealistic. Anyone who disrespects Haye for making the wise decision to cancel the June 20th fight is not a true boxing fan. The best route for Haye, now, would be to follow Evander Holyfield's strategy for moving from cruiserweight to heavyweight. Holyfield took a full two years to campaign at heavyweight before challenging for the title. If Haye takes Holyfield's approach, he will be more confident. How Holyfield Conquered the Heavyweights: 2 Years 1988 Apr. 9 -- Carlos DeLeon, Las Vegas, TKO 8 (Captured undisputed cruiserweight title) July 16 -- James Tillis, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, KO 8 Dec. 9 -- Pinklon Thomas, Atlantic City, TKO 7 1989 Mar. 11 -- Michael Dokes, Las Vegas, TKO 10 July 15 -- Adilson Rodrigues, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, KO 2 Nov. 4 -- Alex Stewart, Atlantic City, TKO 8 1990 June 1 -- Seamus McDonagh, Atlantic City, TKO 4 Oct. 25 -- Buster Douglas, Las Vegas, KO 3 (Captured undisputed world heavyweight title)
Maybe people wouldn't be so rough on him if he would keep his mouth shut and not wear silly t-shirts son....
