your right about "no one is safe from haye"... all HW needs to cautious when them make deals with Haye as they will waste months and months negotiating a fight and even more wasted time when they spend months in camp to have Haye pull out... so you are right... no one is safe from "waiting time" with haye. Ask the following fighters how it felt to waste so much time talking and or training only to end up with NO FIGHT Wlad (first fight) vitali Char fury am i missing another guy?
Vlad would beat Haye again, but probably probably by knockout!!!!!!! However, Haye has to take good care of his toe....................
Without going through a list of the top 10 in 2011 I just don't believe that his wins over John Ruiz and Audley Harrison should have propelled him to #3 and that at least in part his mouth, obnoxious tactics (confronting Wlad in public) and self promostion helped get him in a position to get a title shot you have to admit whether deserved or not, he did nothing to try to win that fight?
How exactly did Haye retire Vitali? Suggesting he did is just complete bollocks and shows a complete lack of any boxing knowledge at all. Haye is a Z List Celeb now, nothing more, nothing less.
Well, one fella came close to beating Klitschko. Went by the name of David Haye. Seven feet tall he was, with arms like tree trunks. His eyes were like steel, cold, hard. Had a shock of hair, red like the fires of Hell.
Up to that point all of Byrd, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Peter and Brewster. Since that fight obviously Povetkin too.
Actually 3 fighters have beaten Wladimir Klitschko. Went by the names of Brewster, Sanders & Pritty - ALL by KO too.
All by KO, without a doubt. Clean, brutal, 1 punch knockouts the lot of em. Not a surprise they call him WLADIGLASS GLASSCHKO.
Haye.... LOL Why do people still buy into his garbage? He avoids fights after fights and fakes retirements again and again. It's disgusting. He should have been sued by Fury. "I'm retiring for good" Comes back 2 weeks later "I'm back guys, training harder than ever" atsch
We know he's being sarcastic. Just venting out what I think of Haye. Slyk/Iceman are notorious Haye haters. He's a clown and he deserves the ridicule he gets from boxing fans!
he was a former Cruiserweight champ. he then went and beat Valuev for the WBA. he definitely did more than any Wlad opponent that i can think of other than Chris Byrd. neither of them tried to win the fight. it was a big let down on both parts. Haye was looking to counter, but Wlad wouldn't put himself into position to be counted. he threw basically nothing for the whole fight. he won it by landing 2 more punches a round than did Haye. so if the blame is getting thrown out there regarding this fight... blame both of them, not just one. :good
