Wladimir Klitschko vs. David Haye

He wasn't being considered...that was just Wlad and his team pulling another fast one...

 

Never really rated Rahman.I think Haye is underrated here by some

 

WALDO has no control over the rankings I know, but I don't believe he was forced to fight Rahman, he chose to do it because it was an easy way to fulfil his mandatory. It was a smart move with no risk whatsoever involved - exactly like the Barrett fight yet it's OK for WALDO to do it and not Haye for some reason :huh

I suspect both WALDO and Haye knew this fight was coming up and neither of them wanted to fight anyone particularly tough to jeopardise the big bucks. I don't blame either of them personally.

 

You're talking about a Rahman that was last seen in the ring about 5 years ago, the one that fought WALDO didn't have those attributes. Except for his chin obviously, which suddenly became 'iron' for some reason :think

 

I guarantee you, ****ing GUARANTEE you that if Haye had chosen Rahman instead of Barrett this place would have been full of Klit-ites squealing "ha ha ha he's just quit against Toney, Haye is a **** for fighting him"

WALDO fights him and it was a 'dominant performance against the man that knocked out Lennox Lewis' :huhnut:nut

 

Under-rated by some, over-rated by others...same with most fighters on here. However if he does KO WALDO then the 'over-raters' will have been proved right and the 'under-raters' will make their excuses. It happens before and after every fight but especially Klit fights.

 

I think Wlad is happy to pad out his record to be honest.At the time of the Rahman fight he probably thought his next routine defence would be against Povetkin or Arreola as was talked about.If he beats Haye he has to fight Povetkin by September is that correct?

 

Wasn't iron when LL sparked him

 

I was going to mention the over-raters.They're(or maybe I should say we're for now atleast)the reason Klitschko fas call Haye a hypejob.I hope the likes of RUSKULL don't disappear from the face of the earth in the event of a Haye win,not like Margo fans

 

I hear that...that's why I made this thread way back when...:yep

:deal
Yeh good post

 

Of course he's happy to pad out his record, we're talking about a man here that has had 50+ fights and has never been undisputed champion.

Even more amusing than that are the Klit-ites that have claimed since day 1 that Haye is a hype job and doesn't deserve a shot at WALDO. Take a look for yourself at some of the guys WALDO has defended against....were they more deserving than the undisputed Cruiserweight champion? I say no, personally.

 

So Lewis hit harder than WALDO then?

I hope you're wearing a crash helmet

 

This is exactly my argument.The most common counter-argument seems to be that Haye doesn't have wins or experience at HW.I think the fact that he beat the man of the CW division in his backyard and unified the belts more than makes up for this

 

I remember that thread, now I've had a quick look at it

You also said this, which turns out to be quite prophetic - "This is not a quesion of all time status. At this point, Monte is more dangerous than Rahman"

Interesting....Haye KO Barrett in 5, WALDO took 7 to beat Rahman :yep
