I'm not saying that Haye has 0 chance, but...

So let m get this straight, you don't think Valuev and Fat Peter are jokes. I see, there is nothing more to discuss.

 

How the **** so???? There have been cornucopia of fighters who've called out other fighters to no avail. Wlad man'ed up and gave Haye what he wanted. Had he not, it could of taken Haye up to two years to get a shot at the title, and with his whiskers there was no gurantee he'd get there in two years or ever.

 

atsch Byrd? seriously STFU nuthugger.

 

I beg to differ.

 

True. I agree. Wlad did not have to give Haye the shot. In fact Wlad fought Rahman to get his mandatory out of the way just to make this fight happen. Scott is a fool.

 

Well outside of Povetkin and Haye, HW is empty of guys but well just have to agree to disagree.

 

I'm sorry but the Cruiserweight division has been a lot more competitive than Heavyweight in the last few years, of this I have no doubt. Heavyweight has been just about the weakest division in boxing, whereas cruiserweight has been pretty tight at the top. Mormeck was a good champion, O'Neill Bell was too, and the likes of Gomez, Toney and Jirov were all monstrous at the weight.

Heavyweight meanwhile has had Valuev, Briggs, Ruiz and Peter holding belts, most of whom have only rudimentary boxing skills at the very best. It's been a bad joke for a long time.

 

Look, obviously I'm a Klitschko fan, just look at my Avatar.

That being said, David Haye doesn't bring anything bad into the ranks of Heavyweights, and I'm glad he's here.

Heavyweight fights haven't gotten this much pre-fight talk since Lewis/Tyson/Bowe days.

It's all good.

 

Haye is taking a big step up but if you were him would you not take this fight? It's a chance to beat the HW Division's number 1 ranked fighter, it's a fast way to get there but Haye is right for jumping at the chance to fight Wladimir.
