    Mitchell's preparation might not have been ideal but the fact is he is not good enough at the top level.

    Can't stand the lad, Way too cocky.

    Wasn't he comparing himself to 'The Krays' in his last fight? lololol

    Katsidis humbled him BIG TIME.

    well David Haye said he was going to fight a "quality opponent" in november, he also said he was "going to clean up the heavyweight division".............i guess everyone can be wrong.

    "As a boxing fan, I would hate to see David fight Audley. He's never boxed anyone in the top 40 and never produced in the ring. I would not like that fight as a boxing purist. But the criticism dumped on David would be horrific. He would be branded a coward and people would say he was running away from the Klitschkos. He would be shot to pieces."

    Adam Booth in July

    If he can be persuaded from this point to making the fight in 2 months, maybe Eddie Hearn can persuade him to put on a decent undercard.

    you're a ray of sunshine aren't ya?
    i get you're not happy about the fight. but plenty of people are.
    Do you not agree that when audley DOES let his shots go, he can fight.
    Do you not agree david hasn't the best of chins? so what happens if audley's bull**** that comes out of his mouth actually happens and he lets the punches go? it makes for a good fight!

    Seriously, there isn't many fights at heavyweight out there that are gonna get people talking about boxing the way this one has. Look at all the pr stuff we been doing with both fighters.
    Do you think we would have been on daytime tv, sky news etc for a fight with anyone other than a Klit?
    The division isn't good. Thats a fact, but you have to make the best of plan b when plan A isn't happening at the time.

    Harrison is a big enough fight to get the people who don't normally talk about boxing talking about it.
    There isn't enuf people doing that these days but they are at the moment and thats a good thing.

    Sometimes you just have to roll with it.
    Why was Wlad v Peter a better match up? why is Vitali v Briggs a better match up?

    They are not. But i don't hear you banging on about those fights. We are all entitled to an opinion, but to keep on going on and on just makes it a little numbing and a little disrespectful to the thousands that HAVE paid to watch the HAYE v AUDLEY fight.

    I respect all fans opinions, i don't have to agree with them all, but i don't carry on harping at them and insulting them.
    I just accept that they have a differing opinion.

    I've said it before, it's quite simple. If you hate the fight or any fight so much, i don't get why u keep talking about it? just ignore it until it's over.

    Let me start this response by pointing out Dave i rate you as the best young trainer in the country, and when Brook & Groves win world titles I will be the first to point out the work you have done to help their careers. This is no way is an attack on you who I know deep down (like Haye) hates this fight.

    I do not agree that when Audley lets his hands go he is a good fighter. Hayes chin problems are overhyped, the weight making at CW had allot to do with it. Obviously if he took a punch from a BIG puncher at Heavyweight he would be hurt, but Audley is not a big puncher and never has been. The shot against Spott was pure fluke.

    Theres plenty of bull**** that comes out of Audleys mouth, similar to myself. Audley says he is going to knock out David Haye, I say I am going to **** Eva Longoria....the difference is I might actually have a chance.

    If Haye had faced one of the Klitscko brothers, like he promised, the public would also be talking about it. So its on GMTV....so what. Haye is a WORLD Champion so surely with that comes a responsibility to please fans around the world and not just in the UK?? Was Tomasz Adameck ever a serious consideration or was it just more bull ****.

    Plan A didn't come of because Haye doesn't want to fight the Klitscko brothers. Simple as that, they made him a good offer and Haye turned it down over no more than £500k. Haye and the Klitsckos have all said the same thing happened.

    Haye can tell his lie about the emails he got from people telling him to fight Audley Harrison........thats complete crap. Did he not read his facebook page weeks before the sham was announced? thousands of posts slagging him off for taking the fight and rightfully so.

    2 wrongs don't make a right. But yes. Peter and Briggs are far superior opponents to Audley Harrison. Peter was a top 10 Heavyweight and an x world champion, Briggs is an x world champion to. Both were **** **** **** fights but the Harrison vs Haye fight is 10x worse than that. Audley Harrison has not beaten a top 25 Heavyweight in his whole career. He has never beat a fighter ranked in the top 15 by a governing body. You could name 4 Heavyweights in this Britain that deserve the **** ahead of Audley let alone the 30 around the world. Sure people know who Audley is....but people know who Evander Holyfield is, they know who Robbie Williams is...so why not fight them?

    Anyones thats paid for a ticket or buys a PPV for this card is a complete mug. If there a boxing fan they have no right to ever complain about a bad fight because they directly funded one.

    I am not going to ignore the fight. I am going to keep banging on about how **** it is. Anyone that asks me about it I will tell them its a **** fight and not to buy the PPV. I have every right to do this and theres several reasons why;

    1. I paid for tickets to Haye vs Bonin, Fragomeni, Enzo & Barrett.
    2. I paid for the Valuev & Ruiz PPV's
    3. I had flights, tickets and hotel booked for Wladamir Klitscko and never go any money back
    4. When Setanta went under, I wrote a letter to Sky telling them why they should make a contract with Hayemaker promotions

    Haye sold himself to the hardcore as a guy that cared about his legacy and would always take the toughest fights. That turned out to be a lie. He has ducked a fight with the Klitsckos and is fighting a guy I wouldn't rank in the top 50 at Heavyweight because it makes him money.

    If Haye and Booth do care about fans like myself and other hardcore that think this fight is a joke, then they should put on a really high quality undercard as the last 2 Haye PPV cards have been great main events between top 10 heavyweights but the undercards have been shocking. Groves vs Adamu the only acceptable fight of the two. The fact that Rees vs Murray has not even been discussed for the undercard is seriously worrying as it would be a great chief support.

    If Murray does pull out, Rees against John Watson for the vacant title would be acceptable as one of 3 live undercard fights and would need to be the worst of the 3. Rhodes in a title eliminator against Sechew Powell for the IBF would be great, Lindsay vs John Simpson would be decent, John McDonnell vs Craig Watson for the vacant British title would be another one along with a European defence from Jamie McDonnell.

    There simply HAS to be a decent undercard for a main event which is so one sided.
    Has there been conformation of the pac fight being lumbered in yet?

    Rob, seriously...

    You sound like your first girlfriend refused to sleep with you because she wanted it to be special her first time, then went and ****ed some guy she met in a club and put the photos on Facebook.

    You've already said you're not going to watch the fight because it's the greatest travesty ever (and Briggs is as bad as Audley at this stage - all he's got going for him is that he can punch - same as Aud). So don't. And stop posting about how awful it is. We get it.

    When he puts his punches together and commits to offence, he's pretty good. That's why he won a gold medal. But he has serious mental issues when he fights. Look at the difference between the first and second Williams fights. He can be devastating in the right frame of mind.

    And Haye IS chinny. He's not in the Roy Jones school of crumpling in a heap at the whiff of a punch passing his chin, but it's not exactly iron clad. He holds a shot a little better at HW, but you still need to accept he went down heavily to Lolenga Mock, who could punch, when he wasn't struggling at cruiser.

    it is a **** fight. I've never said different. I won't pay for it, but I'm not going to cry my eyes out and run around ESB decrying it.

    How am I a hypocrite? I've been consistent the whole way along and it's not like I go off and start slagging other nothing fights.

    I'm not defending it. You need to work on your reading comprehension if you think I am.

    I

    Think

    It's

    A

    ****

    Fight.

    But I don't care that much. I can buy it or not buy it. The Klits didn't agree to Haye's terms, he didn't agree to theirs'. Accusations of what's fair and what's right are irrelevant. It's both sides' decision.

    Would I rather he fought Adamek or Povetkin? Yes, of course. But they would make him no money and Harrison will. I don't like it, but I understand it. It's not me getting punched in the head for money.

    this is a business first and a sport second. You need to remember that, despite what Haye's "promised" you in the past.
