...why did Haye sidestep Hopkins to fight :**** Audley Harrison?atsch Can anyone justify this? Hopkins would of a least landed two punches?! Or was Haye afraid that his biscuit cheen would of been exposed? I will tell you the reason. He sidestepped the callout just like he sidestepped Klits and just like hes going to sidestep Chagaev. The man is a 100% purified ***.
Why would Haye have fought Hopkins? He would of taken a ton of **** for fighting a 45 year old jumping two weight divisions. Can you really blame Haye for choosing a massive payday for an easy fight against Audley? It got 750,000 PPV buys in the UK. Haye deserves criticism for his heavyweight run but this one doesn't make any sense to me.
As Harrison was a big money easy fight for him that got lots of publicity in the UK. To casual UK fans I reckon Hopkins is seen as just an old guy who was beat by Calzaghe.
Hopkins vs Haye would of made ALOT more cash than Harrison. So this point is mute. And it would of looked much better on his resume. First man to stop Hopkins? Instead with 8 months to "retirement" he fights Audley chump change Harrison.
