    Bunce is 100% right about the mismatches and set-ups and fat dive-artists. It's nothing new though.

    I dont agree about Haye-Harrison.
    Haye should be fighting world-class opponents, and if his WBA belt is to be taken remotely seriously he needs to fight challengers who have earned a shot.

    Harrison is nowhere near world class, and it's not fair for him to get a shot at a belt that dozens of more deserving fighters would love to fight for. It's that simple.

    Adamek, Chambers, Peter, Arreola, Chagaev, Thompson, Gomez, Solis, Holyfield, Ray Austin ..... I'm sure all those guys would fight Haye, and all of them are a lot more deserving than Harrison. And Haye might actually learn something with a fight with them.

    Haye knows how to sell a fight, he'll get plenty of back page coverage whoever he fight, he doesn't need to stoop to Audley Harrison.

    Kind of contradictory for Bunce to say people wont tune in to Amir Khan fighting bums and that it's no longer admissable for our "world" champions to fight a good fighter every fifth fight, but at the same time he's telling us Haye-Harrison is a good thing.

    Bunce has a soft spot for Audley, or they cooked some sort of deal.

    Buncey, Coleman Barrett is the current Irish champion and he won it against Colin Kenna this year - so it was a little mistake to say the last time the Irish heavyweight title was last fought for 14 years ago. :good

    Sorry about the Irish champ mistake - there are hundreds of facts and figures in the piece and a lot slide.
    As for the Haye v Harrison...it's a business. It's that simple. There is no dispute. It's not the fight I want. There are five or six that I would prefer in front of Harrison. It's business - part of the business that I've been in for 25 years and Adamek or Arreola or Chambers will not generate the business. It's free on here to talk and debate but in the real world of paying mortgages and feeding families it has to be business: Harrison v Haye DOES the business. Sorry, but it's true.

    Adios.
