    What do you think ? Is Haye scared or is he being clever in not facing the Klits JUST yet..

    He said he wants to quit before his 30th birthday.... Which i think he will.... Is he just trying to gain loads of Money with other big fights before he retires?

    I think he respects the Klits & Knows they are top fighters, and wants to fight them at the end of his career so even if he looses he would have achieved enough in boxing !! Coz once you LOOSE when your at the top your marketablity drops dont it....

    What if he's scared and clever? I don't believe the two are mutually exclusive

    I don't think he's scared but I wouldn't say he's been clever of late. Do I think he fights WALDO eventually - yes.

    He's smart enough to be scared of the career/life changing effects fighting a Klitschko can cause. It's the Floyd Mayweaher type of fear where he doesn't afraid of pain or losing, but terrified of the though getting out of boxing damanged. But that's where similarities end, because Mayweather fought through a career facing a best, and never pulled out of a signed contract with some BS reason. That's more courage than David Haye has.

    yh maybe... But i think hes got enough balls to fight even if he is scared... just to try his luck...

    Thats what i mean, is he TOO scared to fight em... Or is he being wary & being clever and avoiding them for only soo long... Coz if he fights them now and gets banged out hes not gunna beable to make as much money...

    Keeping people in anticipation for the fight will make him more money coz the fight will grow... And he knows theres a big chance he'd get ****ed up..

    he is not scarred, he knows that he probably will lose but waits to hype up the fight and to make as much money as possible, because he knows that after the fight he won't make big money anymore

    Yep. So in my eyes, he's definitely three things:

    1. Scared of losing against a Klitschko before he gets the chance to make a healthy amount of money.

    2. Clever for scraping as much money possible, before taking those dangerous duals with the brothers. In addition, the longer he takes these Audley-type fights, there's always that hope of the Klitschko brothers declining.

    3. A fraud for promising, yelling and barking the Klitschko names for almost two years, and failing to deliver after at least three chances.

    I think he will def fight them but.... he knows, that they know he is their biggest paycheck by a mile and he is now going to use it to his gain.

    The reason he is their biggest potential paycheck is because of his self publicing and the fact that it has gone from him chasing them to them calling him out now has changed the perception to the "casual fan" as them needing him rather than the other way round. Casual fans are where the bulk of the money comes from.

    I can assure you, Haye will get more for fighting Audley than either of the Klitschko's have got from any of their last couple of fights.

    When they finally do agree, both parties will get career high earnings but I expect Haye will get the bigger cut of UK ppv money, which will mean he earns significantly more money than either Klitschko.

    Not right, but if it does happen like that then you have to say Haye was clever... especially if he loses the fight!

    There's no chance that he is scared. Clever? I don't know he is potentially missing out on a lot of money even though the majority would be money he is generating. I think you can a better case for clever than scared though as their is nothing legit to show he is scared.

    Scared. His only claim to fame is performing one of the largest ducks in the history of sports. He piggybacked on the Klitschko brothers for fame and recognition, then backed out of at least one signed contract. He's pathetic. I won't watch him fight again until he actually steps up.
