Is David Haye the biggest fraud in heavyweight history?

Ever heard of Audley Harrison?

 

Gerry Cooney

 

Am i seriously dissappointed with Haye....BIGTIME.

A fraud is harsh tho, to win an strap at hw and then fight a Klit is not fraud behaviour. Whereas if you look at other fighters i.e. Value, Povetkin, who have always been heavies haven't fought klit.

No need to go OTT tho imo.

 

With Audley it's just the expectations from his Am. status were never lived up to?

 

I'm with you...... I drank the Kool-Aid.:yep

David's a damn good fighter, he was just WAY out gunned in there. He acted SUPER Bold pre-fight when it turns out falling down and cryin' at the ref were gonna be an obvious part of his game plan.

 

He isn't a fruad. He just not a real HW.

 

of course hes a fraud. he sold all of you a bunch goods that he never intended to deliver. i still remember all the crazy **** some of you were saying before the fight and now some of those same people are trying to save face by arguing against the obvious. you had all the evidence in the world telling you who he was and you still jumped on the "saviour of boxing" train. the way he fought after all the big talk and the embarrassing "look at my toe" episode, is one of the most disgusting displays i have ever seen in a ring. and yet, you still have some of these battered wives trying to justify. pathetic.

 

No the Klits still are the biggest frauds they've fought two live opponents between them in their entire reign.

Not their fault but lets not pretend they wouldn't get blown away in past heavyweight eras.

 

Care to name some "live opponents" that they should have fought and didn't?

 

I mean they've pretty much fought everybody man. maybe Valuev (I actually would like to have seen that).

 

I was tryin' to think if there was anybody?

Valuev maybe. and we got to think back a little, not just recent....and still. Did either fight Maskaev when he was doin well?

 

No, they didn't fight Maskaev. They wanted to, as Maskaev was talking trash a bit too much, but the fight never took place, just like with Valuev.

 

Didn't think so. Tryin' to think back that's about the only one. Briggs might have been good to get to earlier. White Wolf?

So lookin' at it, maybe a couple of Don King's guys?

 

White Wolf? He was never any good really. So, he beat Brewster in that slugfest, but it was the same Brewster who was getting beaten up from pillar to post by Wlad till whatever happened happened.

 

And he also got put thru the ropes by Briggs.

Don't get me wrong.....I'm no way tryin' to say it should have or anything.

I was only tryin' to think was there ANYBODY while they've been in charge, that people would have like to see it?

06-07 there was a "round robin" of fighters like White Wolf, Briggs, Maskaev, Rahman....maybe Ruiz amd Valuev.

He'd already beat Peter, but there was a good call for Wlad Peter II around this time.
