Does anyone think that he will be respected afterwards? I mean, he is on some suuuuper tough talking ****, which I like because it brings excitement. The down side for him would be, what if he does get destroyed? He would be the laughing stock of boxing. Many fighters have talked **** got got beat down, but he really hasn't earned the right to talk. Anyway, I hope it's a great fight, cause boxing needs it from the heavy weights. Where do you think his career goes should he be sparked?
definately depends on the performance as you say....destroyed, then no respect really; but if he puts up a tough fight for Wlad and its entertaining, then we see a lot more of him and maybe a rematch later down the line.....I'd like to see more of Haye so hopefully this is a great fight but either way Wlad KO mid rounds
Yeah thats the situation he's made for himself, If he gets sparked then he looks daft. He's not stupid though I think he knows that. Hope he doesn't, even if he's beat I hope he makes a fight out of it and maybe brings out the fighter in Wlad. at least he's trying to bring some excitment to the division
Depends on how he loses. If Haye puts up a good fight and loses by decisoon or by late rounds stoppage then he'll have earned some respect even in defeat. Especially if he puts up a good fight and makes Wlad work hard for the victory. Now if Haye gets dominated and beatdown and gets KOed by the early or mid rounds, then yeah, he'll turn into a laughing stock. Not eveyone will laugh at him though, many will just be dissapointed as many fans are actually rooting for the guy to vanquish the Klitschkos. Myself included.
It also depends on what he does after the Wlad fight. If he lost but fights someone top 10 next and wins ... maybe he can brush it off as reasonable hype. If he lost and fought a decent HW and lost again ... different story. If he lost and goes inactive he will be seen in a bad light too.
When Haye loses, he will look like a complete and utter fool. This is the problem when you talk this much ****, you HAVE to back it up, and rationale favors Haye getting his ass kicked. If Haye had ATG skills, he could talk all the **** he wants. Ali talked **** like no other, but you knew he was truly great fighter. Haye isnt that. Not by a lot
To me hayes was a good cruiser, an unless he puts up a great fight, which i believe he will not,,,people in the end will say he was over his head,,,the question i wonder is, will hayes still be a good cruiserweight after this fight, will wlad break him to point of not being his old self, he done it to mcline, peters, byrd to name a few,,,wlad jab is somthing that will leave an effect that can last a life time, how many punches does hayes eat, does wlad streach out the beating over whole fight just to teach this person a lesson,,,,with the money hayes is making for his own safty he might want to have a neurosurgeon, i know it not as much as wlad but safty should be a concern for him.
It's all about the money for Haye, nothing else. Vlad did not have to fight Haye, Vlad picked Haye, not Haye picked Vlad.
