come on... harrison ot battered around the ring by taxi driver martin rogan, who lost to sexton, who lost to chisora.
You guys do realize that sparring means head gear and big gloves. You can risk taking hits with all that stuff on. There is a big difference between a real fight and a sparring session. Thompson would not "fight" Haye the same way in a real fight vs the way he sparred with him. Trust me, Haye would run for 12 rounds.
Who has Haye run against? Valuev, a guy that he put on an excellent counterpunching display despite having hurt his left hand in the early rounds. Valuev, the same guy that the Klitschko's manage to avoid due to their ridiculous contractual obligations? Other than that, he's been destroying about every opponent. He doesn't take 12 rounds to KO opponents like Sultan Ibriganov...oh that's right, Wlad was scared as **** against that short ass dude and it was so bad that he got banned from HBO and deported out of the country.
Apparently he was little bit too good, to even fight against. Wlad was seemingly scared weeks leading up to the fight, comparing Chisora to Prime Tyson and WBA heavyweight champion Haye.
If only Wlad would have posessed same kind of balls than Chisora. But no! He pulled out on short notice, even when Chisora gave him three rematches and 5% - 95% split to Wlads favor
