    Saturday Kid I love Beeston Brawler and all the regular posters on this site. I don't expect all to agree with me. One thing I don't doubt is the integrity and love of boxing you all have.

    Beeston is probably correct about Ike. In fact I actually know that he is. It was not just that he kayoed the unbeaten at that Byrd and beat the undefeated and heavily favoured Tua it was the manner in which he did it. He had everything Evander Holyfield had at his peak just much bigger and stronger with excellent ring generalship. A combination puncher with skill as well as i punch power. Put it theis way he was the 1 guy Frank Maloney was never particularly keen for Lennox to get in with. He also had a grade A chin.

    Maybe Dr Iron Fist and Dr Steel Hammer are not so bad but hell this is boxing not Rocky IV the Ivan Drago types. I have not seen a great deal of Chris Arreola but it looks like Heavyweight championship is becoming an Eastern European thing with occassional threats from Africa.

    Merry Xmas to you all.

    A year delay isn't too bad, but I think Haye fans should be pressing for a fight with one of the two Klits now.


    IMO, accepting Valuev II is a bit taking the Mickey, as is any other fight other than the Klits, for a man who claims the things Haye does.

    A year away might be a smart move for Haye.

    I would hope to see Vitali fight a couple of times before that and he's not going to get any better or any younger.

    Haye may well catch him just at the right time to out-speed and out-point an aging Klitschko.

    It perplexes me when people say Vitali will annihilate Haye. He's the favorite for sure but I think Haye has a decent enough chance in the fight.

    A rematch clause is a rematch clause though. He'll be legally obligated to face Valuev or else face litigation. Do you really think he wants to risk everything again, against Valuev, when he could be taking that risk against a Klit?

    Wasn't the rematch clause one of his main problems with the contract he had with Klitscho. I think David Haye will ride the British public for all he can by fighting non threats for the forseeable future. He is a draw now, losing to a Klit would be the end of his popularity. He will fight the Valuevs and Ruiz's or even the B-Hops because he'll make dosh and keep his "best heavyweight in the world :nut" status.

    Maybe, just maybe, he will fight a senile Vitali who needs nappies and a zimmer frame to get around, in 2012.

    Hope I am wrong though but that is what I see happening.

    Honestly, ****ing rematch clauses. I'm sick of them when it's a fight no one wants to see.

    I agree.

    If I had to bet my house on it, id play safe with Vitali.

    Haye though is better than Chambers, Gomez etc and will be a lot more dangerous.

    Possibly Vitali's biggest challenge since Lewis?

    Yes, because Haye is renowned for not seeking out the best challenges.:roll:

    He is renowned for backing out of them.

    You're just a disgruntled Klithugger aren't you? Haven't you got anything better to do with your bank holiday Monday than troll an Internet forum? Probably not, but I'll make a suggestion, go hang yourself.:good

    So sensitive. I made a reasonable prediction (based on what has already happened, he backed out of two agreements, said he was coming after the Klits after he beat Valuev, then he has to beat his mandatory Ruiz and then it will be the Klits but now he must rematch Valuev. add that to the Hopkins rumours which may or may not have any substance to them) Then I stated a fact. He is renowned for backing out of the big challenges. Ask any non Brit. Maybe you can't handle that fact and feel the need to attack anyone who points it out. :|

    I'm not trolling. I made a reasonable post. You failed to make a counter argument and got shitty. If anyone is trolling it's you. You ignored the fact that Haye had no problem with the rematch clause with Valuev but cried about it when it was against Wlad.

    PS. I'm not a Klit fan. I don't care all the much for any of the HW division.

    Haye has had only 24 fights, and in that time has all but unified the cruiserweight division and is now the WBA heavyweight champ. Thats not a fighter who is renowned for backing out of challenges.

    Just because a couple of fight negotiations went pear shaped because Setanta went bust or they couldn't agree over purses/ rematches/ options doesn't mean Haye is backing down.
