    This.

    Haye tried to jump domestic by moving onto Thompson but after losing he backtracked but didn't want to spend forever backtracking. After the fight fell through Haye had already moved onto bigger things.

    The fight was on and david came down to Liverpool to spar with myself and David Price and in the process of sparring he pulled his groin or hamstring.. The day after sparring the 2 of us he pulled out with the injury. Let me say this he was in good shape and very sharp...:good

    Herbie Hide said that Haye refused to fight him. Haye broke two contracts with Klitschkos and now will fight Audley?

    Not Adamek. Adamek had only just moved up to CW when Haye was leaving the division. He fought his second fight at the weight (an 8 rounder against Josip Jalusic a few weeks after Mormeck v Haye).

    Not really Cunningham either. Haye's stated aim was to win the linear title, then move to HW. He got a mandatory shot at Mormeck and took care of that. He was hardly going to go after a paper champion in Cunningham rather than the linear champion. Cunningham's only chance was to do what Maccarinelli/Warren did and get Haye to stick around for an extra fight by making him a financial offer he couldn't refuse. King and Cunningham made no offer at all. Cunningham just threw out Haye's name a few times after Haye had already moved up for some free publicity for himself.

    jesus, the klitchko's, thats like comparing maklin to hagler, no disrespect to hobson, he was a good quality fighter, but haye was far to powerfull for him.
