Haye should NOT fight Wlad anytime soon

Haye wants to retire in two years...

 

I think he should fight Vitali first, which i see as a much moe winnable fight for him.

If he wins that he'll have a mandatory or two to get through given that he then holds two belts.

Then i think he'll be as ready as he'll ever be for Wladimir. I trutly dislike Wladimir as a boxer, but I admit he's just too much for David at this stage. If Haye loses now, it's over for him. He should make the Wlad fight one of his last fights in the game.

 

Why are people saying this? Are you a boxing fan or do you just want to see your man Haye winning 'easy' fights? If he's to young and inexperienced then he can regain his title in the future if he loses and really is this good.
And he shouldn't run his mouth then... If he thinks he's not ready he's a bigger man admitting that in public then make up some excuses on the way! :twisted:

 

Well, maybe if Haye had been less of a dick about the whole thing I would agree with you.

Haye's been saying he can beat Wladimir Klitschko for the last 2 years, and calling Wlad a "bum" and all Wlad's opponents "bums".
If he wants any respect in boxing he needs to fight or SHUT THE **** UP.

Yes, it's smart thing to avoid fighters who might knock him out of the ring, AND it's a smart thing to talk a load of crap to increase your own profile.

BUT if he wants any real respect and a good legacy he should fight Wlad soon (this year !), and not wait until he's old. That would just be so ****ing lame, Haye's record will be a joke if he just waits until Wlad is old before he fights him.

 

Yep it is, but a lot of his 'fans' don't see it that way... Some actually believe he will fight and KO both Klit brothers simultaniously. The other thing is that you can't call yourself 'The Heavyweight Champion of the World' if your not willing to fight all others who want to make a claim on that... it creates a stain on the title, and it's so stained already! Boxing needs at least the Heavyweight title unified to be transparent and believable.

 

So no-one at the present time can be called 'Heavyweight Champion of the World' in your estimation?

 

Haye is beatable, not just by Wlad. An old Larry Donald and an ancient Holyfield lookd about as good as Haye against Valuev and Chagaev lookd arguably better. Haye is like a past - prime Tyson, he will wreck fighters like Ruiz but I am not sure that he beats Arreola or Solis.

 

Read the statement again... :?


The big problem on the moment is the confusion it all creates... For instance yesterday a Dutch newspaper had a very little (like all boxing articles nowadays in Holland) article about Evander Holyfield retaking the Heavyweight championship with his win against Botha???!!!??? :nut

 

Kirk Johnson??? Where the **** did you pull that one out of?? Johnson was 34-1-1 was pushing 32. When should he have fought a Klitschko??? when he was 45-1-1 and beat everyone else in the division and weighed 300 pounds??? He wasnt that good.

 

I already read it. You said you can't be champion if you're not willing to fight all others who may lay a claim on that. So there is no champion currently in your view.

 

Ok I get it now, because the brothers don't fight each other!

 

Haye/Wlad is one of only a few fights that can be made in the heavyweight division that will generate interest among fight fans and casual viewers of our great sport. I think Haye deserves about 40%, but Wlad should just swallow his pride and make the fight happen. Is 10% really worth not taking the fight? A fight that might get him back on TV, so us americans can watch him again and not through a shitty stream again.

 

That's what you said, I just wasn't sure whether you actually meant to say it or not.

I'm still not really sure.

You can't have two 'the champions' right?

So does your statement actually represent your views, or do you create your own exemptions depending on the circumstances?
