The difference is Klitschko responded with class & respect to childish comments made by a fighter who has yet to achieve anything at HW. So yeah, Haye would appear to be a classless, lowlife ****-talking dweeb! :good
Actually Ali's taunting of opponents was a "lowlife" act. Just because it was Ali doesn't make it right.:nono
The last guy who talked that much **** was Ray Austin. He questioned Klitschko's "ballz" and Wlad made quick work of him knocking him out with one hand.
it was funny. wlad said he hadn't heard of haye til last month. that was a clever swipe :yep trust me, haye isnt even on wlad's radar. he has bigger fish to fry. im sure he is targeting the valuev-chagaev winner after he disposes of thompson :deal
Very good point. Ali's antics in the 60s and early 70s were not "good natured" acts. Later in his career, his Leon "the Vampire" Spinks and Earnie "the Acorn" Shavers were good natured ribbings. That earlier **** (Gorilla and Rabbit) he pulled damn sure wasn't.
Yes, that's what people said when Haye was at Cruiserweight. Then he did fight the 'people who could hit back', and now they're knocked out too.
This could be an interesting scenerio. Wlad Kos Thompson Haye beats up on a lower caliber opponent (Mike Mollo?) Wlad beats Peter or Valuev\Chagaev winner Haye fights Povetkin Wlad fights Haye\Povetkin wishful thinking
It ****ing should be an awesome place, it cost £1bn to build :rofl Ah the wonders of our Labour governmentatsch Well, saying that, it's the only Government project to come in on time - because if it weren't ready for Dec 31 1999 then it was ****ing useless Back to topic, I think a fight between Haye and Klitschko would be fun........ While it lasted.
Klit fans fail to realize that his last defense was the most pathetic, sickening display of boxing of the 21st century, thus it left him open to Haye's criticism. I don't mind the trash talk on either side, as long as the fight gets made and it gets settled in the ring. Oh, and Haye...cover up, weave and get on the inside and knock this stiff out!!!:hi:
Quite a bit of over-exaggeration. Also, it may have left him open to Haye's criticism... it if wasn't for the fact that in that fight, he dominated an undefeated Champion and unified titles. Also, we have a thing called video tape.. some people even have things on DVD. I think that Haye might want to take a look back at the rest of Wlad's career. You may need to as well. A fighter's worth isn't judged from one fight, ESPECIALLY when that one fight was a dominant decision over an undefeated Champion....unless the person doing the judging is a moron. If Haye wants to talk **** about someone in that fight... why didn't he talk about Ibragimov? After all, it was Iggy who was getting his ears boxed off and still refused to make a fight of it. Wlad didn't have to change a thing, he was winning rather easily. It was Iggy who was losing badly and needed to take some risks. Wlad doesn't need to fight like a fool, just to try and knockout Ibragimov who was leaning so far down and back that Wlad would have to lay on him to get his shots off. Watch how Iggy backs to the ropes, and lures his opponent in, trying too hard to land some shots... [YT]57GcuAQdcCc[/YT] Same here... [YT]vs8aYqHZtws[/YT] Wlad isn't dumb enough to fall for that. Iggy tries to get bigger guys to lean down to his level and try to hard to force power shots in on him.
Sultan never spoke **** about Klitschko or questioned his manhood. Quite honestly Sultan is one of the nicest guys in the sport & I'm glad Klitschko only beat him by lopsided decision.
Hayes comments were not pathetic and unneccesary, he had a valid point. there is no excitement in the heavyweight division and klitscho is 1 of the worst culprits for that. haye may get the odd loss on the way but he has more than enough ability to mix it with todays poor crop of heavyweights and bring excitement back. I cant believe how many people moan about the lack of characters and excitement in the division, then when you do get a different and more appealling character such as hayes he gets slagged off....hypocrits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa. You cant possibly excuse James Toney's shittalking and call Haye's unnecesary and pathetic. James Toney, while a lovable rogue, is a purely ignorant, delusional, racist piece of **** with absolutely no grace, dignity or an ounce of respect. Not to mention severely lacking in charm, wit or intelligence. I still like the guy. But thats just what he is. David Haye's shittalking was just to get himself noticed. He is largely unknown in the States, and wants a shot at Klitschko, in like, 18 months. He wont become a name and get that shot by being quiet. Sad, but true. He was mostly having a go at Klit's poor performance vs Iggy. He said he was scared to throw a right hand. In all fairness, he was. Whereas James Toney would be mumbling, ''that Russian m'o****er, gonna knock out that ****ing commi in 2 rounds, i'm the ****in best ever, mo'****ers.''
