This is very disappointing news indeed, why does Haye want to fight somebody who is 47. Now he is begging WBO to get Mercer ranked on the strength of a 6 round Majority decision over Richel Hersisia. I mean come on Mercer lost to Derric Rossy in the fight before that and Hersisia was KO'd in 4 by Fraudley Harrison. How the hell does this a) justify Mercer to be ranked in the Top 10 & b) be fighting David Haye, who has stated he wants to fight the best at Heavyweight. Well I can tell you Mr Haye that Mercer is not one of the best, please stop looking for stiffs, hasbeens & bums for your Nov 15th opponent. You have already been there and done that with Tomasz Bonin, its time to step up and actually meet someone who is a threat. I mean Mercer in his prime would have KO'd Hersisia and Rossy without difficulty, this guy is clearly shot and at 47 has to be by far the oldest guy still fighting at this level.
This thread should read Mercer interested in Haye - Because all the noise has been coming from Mercer.
Well if he can KO Mercer then he has an even more solid claim at being Greater then Holyfield. 1. He's bigger 2. He KO'd a guy that Holyfield only won a UD against
Mercer was shot years ago when Wlad fought him. Haye is a ****ing joke. All his talk about fighting top ten guys. I mean even within the top ten today there is some pretty weak opposition for him to go after but he pulls this ****. Atleast fight a fading Golota or something.
The sad truth is: Haye will eventually find a name opponent and KO him in a couple of rounds. After which the general public will forget about all of this nonsense, and Haye will be given the opportunity to get KO'd by Klitschko sometime next year.
Mercer? this is ridiculous, jeeezz.... They shouldn't even let Mercer get in a ring anymore, he's way beyound shot.
For those of you still too dense to work it out (ie. most of the ******s in this thread): 1. HAYE HAS NOT SAID HE WANTS TO FIGHT MERCER. 2. MERCER HAS SAID HE WANTS TO FIGHT HAYE. 3. HAYE HAS EXPLICITLY RULED OUT OPPONENTS LIKE MERCER. 4. I REPEAT, HAYE HAS SHOWN NO INTEREST IN THIS POTENTIAL FIGHT AT ALL. 4. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO STILL DON'T GET IT: HAYE DOES NOT WANT TO FIGHT MERCER. MERCER WANTS TO FIGHT HAYE. If anyone needs cliffs they can kindly leave the forum forever.
With the total circus Haye has started, I wouldn't be shocked to find out the whole Mercer fight is true. Im sure Mercer will drop out as well (according to team Haye) and Haye will end up picking yet another bum
Haye wanted to fight a top10 guy I thought, well Mercer was one in the past but today ... would be a joke.
So you're sure that Haye will duck Mercer but you wouldn't be surprised if Haye is setting up a fight with Mercer? How many people use your account?
:rofl :rofl :rofl This is a load of wind and ****, setanta wont except this as a credible fight for a start. Im still glad i haven't ought tickets for the fight, don't how anyone can get tickets for haye vs TBA atsch Still if it did turn out to be Toney (which is highly doubtfull) id be gutted. Come on david get a decsent opponent as even yours fans like me are losing patients now!!!!!! To be fare Hayes resume as it stands for only 22 fights is amazing So people can frget all this **** about him being a ducker or cherry picker. Look at his first 22 fights and compare it to wlads :good
