Bollocks, Skelton has proved himself to be durable against a guy who was a world class amateur and a world class pro by going the distance, which Haye has not yet done.
I think Wlad would be so scarred to let any punches go against Haye that Skelton would give him a harder time. Skeltons is ugly to watch but he has heart, will come to out hussle and rough up Haye and he thows eveyrhtig he has in all directions. He's actually harder to figure out than people think. He's one of those ulgy guy's like Carlos Maussa and Ponce De Leon who's difficult to prepare for imo. I would'nt mind this fight actually. Skelton pushed Chagaev, has beaten Britains best heavies and picked up the Lonsdale belt and Commonwealth title. Not a bad second fight for Haye although i believe Haye would beat Klit in his next fight.
I like Haye but the hype is getting out of control in my opinion. Id expect Skelton to give him a good fight and id' be looking to back Skelton for the upset at a big price.
Metro and other sources say he is looking at Rahman. I'd agree with that. Rahman is probably a better fight. Rahman is a proper world class operator who has mixed as a contender/champ for years. Rahmans only really ever been done over once and that is by an all time great. Everyone else has had to take some licks first. If Haye can put on a good showing, it puts him in great stead.
Rahman is the better fight and will serve a better purpose for Haye than Skelton would. Skelton would make for a messy fight but he would rough Haye up. Skelton plenty of heart to make up for his lack of skill and would probs take Haye the distance, he aint knocking Haye out unless Haye gets really careless and eats many of Skeltons shots, Skelton doesnt have the one big shot to take Haye out otherwise...
Its all bull****, Warren knew Haye would turn it down, but offered an amount just over one million US dollers on purpose. Then Frank can go on his tiresome crusade against anyone who turned him down to have something to write about in his article. ''Haye ducked Skelton'' He's not the true heavyweight champ/contender, he ducked Skelton'' Its all mind games for Warren, he never had any intention in paying that.
I keep hearing peopel saying Skelton is ranked about Rahman, bollcks, Rahman is ranked by all 4 belts in the top 12, skelton is not in the top 15 of any.
Ranks are made by opinion. Stylewise Skelton would give Haye a better fight and would beat Rahman regardless of what the ranks say. Yeah a close fight he lost but still done more than Haye at Heavyweight who Is doing way too much at the moment and Is way too over confident.
You really are clueless, ain't ya? Did Haye **** your missus or something? Jesus. Every other post of yours criticises the poor guy. I've never seen a post of yours contain any sort of boxing insight or intelligence. You just seem to be on a one man crusade against David Haye. Why? Cos he ****ed up your boyo Enzo? I don't get it. Skelton's ****. He's a **** British title level fighter with no name on a world scene. Mention him to Americans and he's a laughing stock. Beating him means **** all. Rahman knocked out Lennox and is one of the big-name heavies in the world. He's exciting. He punches hard, he's chinny and he talks a little smack. Skelton's boring in the ring and out of the ring. He has ZERO WORLD RANKINGS and is coming off a pathetic world title challenge against a sick and bed-bound Ruslan Chagaev. There's not even an argument here. You'll make one, because you hate Haye, but there really isn't one.
This Is the kind of garbage that lowers my positive opinions on boxing fans, alot of you are way oversensitive, yet some of you can criticise the Hatton football like fans. If you actually read my posts, I do say I hope Haye does it and I like Haye and Enzo and didn't mind who won. How Is Skelton's fight against Chag pathetic? He wasn't In a position to turn It down as he's 40 and It could be his only chance and he gave a great effort. It's more than Knocking out a journeyman who even Audley stopped. Yeah a no name who was chosen as a title defence.:tired A one man crusade, do you only read Haye threads? I do post about more than Haye you mong. I can have a different opinion, shame alot of boxing fans are way too oversensitive to disagree about It without resorts to name calling. Haye Is jumping the gun way too much In my opinion, he's only knocked out cruiserweights and become the best at that weight, at Heavyweight, Klitschko never heard of him till recently. He can't just jump the gun because of hype, he should get In line like Wlad said. Fighting Rahman Is the path to least resistance which won't teach him anything to prepare him for the loss he will suffer against Wlad. Haye needs an Inside fighter, Klitschko spoils by holding and tieing up a fighter. Skelton's an Inside fighter. He couldn't even fight Mormeck on the Inside, he needs to learn some Inside game Incase he can't move out the way like he did with Mormeck who nearly had him out with a flush left hook. His chins not even Heavyweight level. Who cares how big a name someone Is, he needs tougher challenges If he even wants to stand a chance against Klitschko. What arguement? Your one who's making one, people like you deserved to be demeaned to ****. I will stand by what I say until he's proven to be a good heavyweight, I won't jump on this fairy tale sounding stuff Booth Is coming out with.
I wouldn't either but people believe fairy tales here It seems, they didn't learn from hyping up Hatton till Floyd showed them the way.:yep
:roll: You DON'T like Haye. Don't pretend you do as if to validate your points. You've been slagging the guy off for ages now. I've never seen you say one positive thing about Haye. You were desperate for Enzo Mac to win that fight and he got smashed. You even compared Enzo to a prime Lennox Lewis before the fight. Ever since Enzo Mac made you look foolish you've done all you can to run down the man who obliterate him. Did you seriously type "he couldn't even fight Mormeck on the inside" as if that somehow reduces the fact that Haye KTFO'd the undisputed champ in his backyard? F-kin hell. Are you Enzo Calzaghe or something? Talk about finding holes in anything and everything. Go watch some Muhammad Ali fights before you seriously consider discussing boxing
