David Haye

One less boxing mug to worry about. Hopefully Fury to follow..

 

You're probably right actually. Might just be the chump trying to work the crowd again, and give himself another immediate excuse.

 

an even bigger kn0bhead than haye. and that takes some doing.

 

Some bizarre comments in this thread

A British fighter that won world titles on foreign soil, unifying the Cruiserweight division in the process. Defended his world title twice, putting himself in a position to challenge the best heavyweight from the last decade. And despite opinions of some, he gave Wladamir a tougher fight than many give him credit for, Wladamir's toughest fight in recent years in fact.

After five hours of shoulder surgery you're not going to go in to a February fight - especially one where you have everything to lose and not a lot to win. Haye is a far superior boxer and athlete to Tyson Fury.

I actually think Haye will fight again, possibly towards the end of 2014. He'll beat someone like Stiverne or Povetkin for one of these 'regular' world titles, and then defend that against Fury for more like £10 million rather than £5 million.

 

Bloody ell, really? The one I watched, he never laid a glove on Wlad. Not a glove. He was quicker to take his sock off, than he was to land a punch.

 

Wladamir didn't land too much glove on him either though, not in comparison to the beating Povetkin took a month ago!

And he rocked Wladamir in Round 10/11, and had him back peddling.

 

Absolute sacrilege that he goes by the name of Tyson. Kinda like Liam Gallagher calling his son Lennon. Just close your eyes for a second, and visualise Fury and Tyson at his peak, in the same ring. Destruction.

You need to wind your neck in sometimes before you reply. There's only about six people on the whole BBS who give a **** about boxing, so calling people 'Haye Lovers' and claiming they wouldn't be saying this if the shoe was on the other foot is just false and extremist. Don't direct your points directly at me with the term 'you' when those points are incorrect.

I've never said Fury isn't a decent boxer, but he doesn't have anything significant on his boxing CV that allows anyone to say he's a better boxer or athlete than David Haye. That's not opinion, that's just how it is. He's got decent enough skills, but hasn't shown them against anyone half decent, and in his young career he got a gift decision against McDermott, got put on his back by an average Canadian, and then again by a Cruiserweight who had no right fighting in the Heavyweight division. He might go on to prove me wrong as he develops and steps up in class, but he hasn't done that yet.

Haye has a CV, and whatever you think of him it's an impressive one that can't be played down.

As for your David Price comment. He was lauded on here, but he was completely sold down the river by his promoter. Tony Thompson is better than anything Fury has faced, and Price moved to quickly believing the hype. Calling him a pussy is a bit harsh - especially considering the barrage of punches he took in the second loss without actually going down.
