Yeah I started going right off haye after the whole Klitschko farce,, but this time I dont see how this is at all down to haye,, but more importantly I do think this will blow over and the fight will go ahead. Ruiz is clutching at straws and its a story thats probably put out as much for the WBA to panic/ pay as it is for anything to be cancelled. I still see Haye- Valuev going on. No need to ***** (yet)
I fully expect to see Haye vs Herbie Hide next to unify the undisputed Glass Jaw Champion of Britain.
Haye is being realistic, who here thinks he will get a decision?, no ****ing way. Even if he knocks the alien down in every round all knockdowns will be ruled slips and Valuev wins it for throwing and missing the most pathetic and boring display of jabbing ever.
What happen to all the Haye fans? i swear there used to be so many around here.. I still want this fight to happen
Haye wants a HW belt but he doesn't want to face either Klitschko or Valuev. I guess there's only James Toney and his IBA belt left for him then :smoke
Exactly. I may be a 'dishwasher' but I know my **** - this is just what I said: P.S Haye needs to get the **** in line & earn a shot or fight for peanuts today against a Klitschko end of discussion. he don't get no free ride bull****,
If Haye knew he was good he would pay Ruiz step aside money and guarantee him a shot if he wins, but he isn't going to do that.
We're still around, but after a year of just having all this bull**** wrangling/ **** ups without seeing him prove himself I think we've just reached the stage where we dont give a **** about haye untill he gets back in the ring finally and proves himself there,, and for the sake of the heavyweight division I really still hope he does. I did always say he needed another warm up fight against a top tener before mouthing off at the klitschkos,, he could have done that 6 months ago easy.. This layoff may still prove his downfall:tired
Haye is a big puncher and have you ever seen anyone hit Valuev hard? he has never been hit hard Ive seen countless boxers in many Valeuv fights hand picked by Sauerland not to hit Valuev, he has been protected by fighting light heavy and cruiserweight journey men Its Hayes only chance of winning and a good one at that
Valuev is the single most protected boxer in the sport I agree 100%! :good I hate him! Haye can't KO him though, very few have even gotten close it's a simple size issue. Valuev is over 7 feet Haye is 6'3" thereabouts and has never fought a guy bigger than him on that scale; even Mormeck walked hikj down and almost beat him the only thing that stopped that was Haye having the smarts to take a knee and recouperate. I personally can't see Haye Ko'ing Valuev so I can't see him winning in germany.
I like the Haye's fighting style a lot but i dont understand his decisions in HW division. Its like burning all bridges behind. There are 3 title holders and 2 of them wont fight with him because of the false mess made around him. Now he is losing the third chance. Its really stupid.
****, it's hard being a boxer. You work hard and put your life on the line to entertain other people then when you get injured or a third party tries to scupper one of your fights you get called a *****...ironically by people who are *****'s in comparison.
hum ok... But if the fight is being cancelled because of Ruiz (like the link says)...How can it be Haye's fault? Just asking you know... Just sound like plain hate to me.
No one should be surprised by this news. We all said it when haye announced the fight was a done deal. haye and his team have no foresight and couldnt see the ruiz/don king issue. I mean we on ESB saw this as barrier. I have said this many times. Haye is no good for boxing. He is everything that is wrong with boxing. Silly antics out of the ring. Doesnt fight in the ring and spends more time doing nothing than anyone since?? I mean we have a guy here with 23 professional fights total!! Real heavyweight champs are rolling over in their grave. Ali 61 fights Louis 69 fights Holmes 75 fights Tyson 56 fights Foreman 81 fights Wlad 56 and growing Seriously? Haye? This guy isnt a fighter, he is a pretender and frankly is an embaressment to boxing.
I won';t deny I don't like Haye for all his moaning, hype and lack of balls to back up what he says. other than that I like to see him in the ring. To me this is a bitter irony hence why I'm so happy. he HAD Vitali! He had him! All he had to do was fight and STILL he backed out....:--( After all that talk he took the easier option and it has likely failed
