Is it too late to jump on the David Haye bandwagon?

    I like this guy, he is not flabby like other heavyweights, the guy is in good shape, he's marketable, and he has solid boxing skills. Can't understand why this guy keeps going after the Klitscho brothers though, why not fight Valuev and win a belt?

    He wants to fight the best that's why.

    Jump on.

    Valuev isn't going to jump into the ring with anyone dangerous anytime soon.

    He wants to fight the Klitschko's while he is primed and they are top of the division.

    I would like to jump on the bandwagon, the guys chin does worry me, especially against the bigger punchers the division, like the Klit's. The guy is very special fighter, with the combination of power and speed, not seen since Tyson. He's a good looking guy, who dont mind saying how he feels, which I like in a heavyweight. If his chin holds up at heavyweight, the sky's the limit for Mr.Haye.

    Yea but he has only been a HW for one fight, and he want's to go at the biggest and best guy's around? He should give himself a little time just to get comfortable at the weight.

    Well he still has a tiny head. But he may still beat Wladimir Klitschko.

    Wlad's last 2 oppenents were lame competition and it took him way too long to finish Thompson and a completely washed up Rahman, and his next fight against Chris "Poor mans Sam Peter" areolla, thats 3 joke fights in my book. Wlad just dont impress me anymore, I'm still in shock that it took him so long to take out the weak chinned Rahman, and he didnt even finish him properly.

    He doesnt need to outbox his oppenents for 12 rounds, he knocks them the **** out. I'm not a huge fan of Haye's, but I do believe he probably has the best chance of beating Wlad in the ring, we all remember what happend the last time Wlad fought an oppenent with fast hands and a heavy punch, he spent most of the night on his back.:yep Check out the avatar, that was Wlad at his best.

    u'll see. I hope u give wlad a ton of credit if he wins though and don't trash haye afterwards. Personally, this win isn't that great for wlad. it's decent but i don't rank haye in my top 10 at hw. but he's going on the road to fight the guy. Even his biggest haters must give him props for that. solid win but nothing too impressive. Povetkin is a much better win imo.

    wlad loses this, he should retire. haye is a good fighter but no way should wlad lose to a guy so undisciplined, small, and non-durable.

    Will u change ur tune about him if he stops both haye and povetkin this year?

    So why would you hop on the bandwaggon of a guy who cant even box? Whats gonna happen when he meets someone like Vitali with a monsterous chin, and he cant KO him? Hell, Toney has a very good chin too.

    I dont think much of Povetkin, and you already know my feelings on Areolla, who I think is down right terrible fighter and very undeserving of a title shot.

    If Wlad loses he should not retire, the division the so god damn weak, he could become champ in less than a year after a loss, it just depends on how he loses to Haye.

    I will not change my tune on Wlad, the only thing Wlad could do is prove to me is that he's tough enough to go into a slugfest with Haye, and not fall thousand times or go into one of his famous panic attacks. I hate the fact that he cant take a decent punch without clinching, it just shows weakness to me, and thats not the type of fighter I'm willing to root for, I would root for Vitali before I would root for Wlad.
