    He hits hard enough and his punches will finally take their toll on this outspoken, questionably- chinned big mouth.
    Prediction: Thompson ruins Haye's party and big K payday with an impressive TKO.

    :lol:

    ...and MMA has been getting so much hype recently in the press, on TV and in "liberal hollyweird" because it's tame by comparison? :rofl

    Boxing has been in steady decline because there are too many titles, too many weight classes, too many garbage PPVs, and more often than not, the best guys don't fight each other. Last year, the sport got plenty of hype because of the big fights that came off.

    It's ****ing ridiculous, isn't it? God, I wish there were actually a "Liberal media" instead of the vacuous lot of teleprompter reading corporate shills we have now who do nothing but prattle on about trivial bull**** instead of actually reporting the news so that most Americans would wake up and realize how far this country has fallen.

    Just in case Haye still reads these boards occasionally and he needs a reminder that there are good HW's out there that are available and will fight him.

    Compared to the fighters Haye has been thinking of fighting this could be a good one, he won't get any credit for it but it will still be a decent new start(I know he fought once before but this is the one most people will be watching).

    Whoever he fights I just hope it's a good opponent and a fight worth staying up for.

    Haye called JD Chapman "the ideal opponent" because he is big like Klitschko :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: . What about Tony Thompson, he is the same size as Klitschko. Thompson is a pretty good fighter, much much better then what Haye is trying to set up.

    What a stupid statement, plenty of HW's are as big as Klitschko but very few have skill to go along with the size. There is not one recognizable name on Chapman's record. Thompson has been in with, and beaten some decent fighters, Krasniqi, Guinn, T. Ibragimov. Even guys like Cliff Couser, Vaughn Bean, and Yanqui Diaz are well above anyone Chapman has faced.
    Haye hasn't even mentioned anyone that is a legitimate top 15 HW and available such as Sulatn Ibragimov and Tony Thompson.
    I think Haye is getting cold feet now that the time has come to back up his big talk.

    Is it now considered avenging a loss as long as you beat a guy with the same surname as the guy that beat you?

    Hmmm...well is that anywhere near as pathetic as getting your brother to avenge your losses for you? It does work both ways you know :D

    Would Haye beat Thompson at this point? Tough to tell but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he KO'd him easily. That still wouldn't mean anything as regards a Haye v WALDO fight though, WALDO fought cautious and Haye wouldn't.

    The worst would be getting your brother to beat a guy with the same surname as the guy that beat you.
    I would bet money on Haye losing to Thompson at this point. Wlad didn't fight so cautious against Tony, it's just that the guy was extremely awkward and solid defensively. Haye probably wouldn't get through with his power shots early and would be worn down by Thompson's jab and body shots. I would say late round TKO for Tony.

    I suspect you'd lose your money.

    I love the assumption that Haye would get broken down too, it's happened to him once when badly prepared, he's showed no signs of gassing since. I don't think Haye would have any problems at all with the ponderous Thompson. Hopefully we'll find out soon enough.
