"But Haye doesn’t have to scour the world for an opponent. As I’ve said before, there’s one right here in Commonwealth champ Matt Skelton. Skelton fought for the WBA title this year and is ranked 73 places higher than Chapman. But chinny Haye knows Skelton can knock him out. He won’t go near him. " LOLL this is coming from the Frank Warren who is known for shelling his fighters, just look at Amir Khan (pre Prescott) and Calzaghe. he put them in with bums. Frank Warren really hates David Haye, I memba reading franks article on Haye before enzo fight and he was saying **** like haye is nuffin and enzo would deal with him.
He's right, Haye became so unrealistic In his shitalking and promises after Ko'ing Enzo. Skelton might make It ugly but he has a chin, workrate and Inside fighting to give Haye trouble. Haye wanted easy touches and they won't go to London for the low pay there offering. Announcing the venue before even announcing the fighter was a daft move too. It's the Heavyweights, offer Heavyweight money.
Warren wanted Haye before the Enzo fight, and wanted him after it. Don King wanted Haye after the Mormeck fight also.. Part of the Promoter hate campaign.
Maybe this is the problem? Is Haye expecting top 10 heavyweights to fight for the same purses as top 10 cruisers? Theres a world of difference.
if haye signed a contract with warren, he would be the gretest thing nice sliced bread, look a newspaper should not have a boxing promoter working for them, he just pushing his own apple cart.
Warren is just a bitter greedy old man. All power to Haye for not coseying up with this *****. WARREN IS BAD FOR BOXING FULL STOP We should all boycot anything that Warren touches :admin
Since March when Haye says he now is officially a heavyweight he has talked alot and delievered nothing. Now the time is coming where he has to deliever - starting on November 15th. And after all the **** talked - if the opponnet is this JD Chapman - its a huge disappointment. The way Haye was talking we were under the impression he was going to kick off his heavyweight campaign against one of the best It was reasonable to expect someone like Samuel Peter or something. Then he goes and calls in this bum - if he knocks him out in the 1st round - big deal - whos JD Chapman. We are now seeing Haye cannot deliever on these big words.
Is anyone suprised by this? We all know that Warren can be a bitter old fish eyed **** when he doesn't get his way. Call the waaaaaambulance, Frank.
tbh at this point i don't mind who haye fights on Nov 15 as long as he fights. if he's going to fight an american unknown outside boxing, he might as well fight skelton (although i don't think he's ranked in any top ten). originally i thought taking the 7 or so months out before making his hw debut was a good idea, but its backfired. he's had to talk so much **** to keep his name out there that borderline fans are now haters. he should have taken a fight in the interim around july time. maybe against another fringe bonin type and then gone for a decent opponent in november.
