jdocherty72 215 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Both fighters look in amazing shape. Anyone notice Vitali's death stare at Haye? Anyone know what time this fight'll start? Around 10? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieD 19,402 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 He wont mind as long as he has a successful career in the mediaI dunno, for a guy who seems to crave attention and affection so much, it would surely bother him if everybody viewed him as a joke who fought only old guys and bums, then got his arse handed to him after all that trash talk by a real champion and then retired. Which is what he will be if Wladimir beats him and he calls it a day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfc_watp 1,503 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Looking forward to this one! Both fighters look in great shape, I keep swinging both ways on who I think will win....but i'll go for a Haye knockout!I personally want to see Haye win aswell, but I wouldnt grudge Klitschko winning it as he seems a decent guy, hard not to like him.

blyth 3 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 David Haye will knock Wladimir Klitschko out. Round 5. Wlad will not be able to handle his power. He has been stopped by fighters with nothing like the power Haye has. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

butthole 152 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Haye is not nearly as arrogant as some boxers are, there is not any real malice in what he says, I actully find him quite funny! Regardless its all acting to sell tickets and create interest. Hope he knocks that boring brute out then does the same to Vitali! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash07 26 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Haye in 4. Overhand right is the sleeping pill. And to those that think Haye has only fought old guys and bums, do some research. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think you can blame Haye for the real dearth of top-level heavyweights about, he can only beat who's available and he's taking on the champ tonight.

I'm not saying he's a joke. If he beats Wladimir then he is a legitimate champion. If he loses he could still be. I'm saying if he loses and then goes on to retire like he has promised to, without avenging the defeat, that would be a disgrace and he would deserve contempt. What would his champions legacy be? Title defences against an old man like Ruiz and Audley Fucking Harrison? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulRFC1 115 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Wlad is probably the worst for only fighting bums.Wlad is known for handpicking bums and beating them in his hometown and doing it in a very boring way.Haye is exciting and has revived Heavyweight Boxing.Wlad is very boring but he is a really nice guy and that has swayed me to him a bit but I still want Haye to smash him and if he does it will be for the good of Boxing because we will probably see another great fight after it when he goes after Vitali.

Ruiz was past his prime but could still go and Valuev was the WBA champion. But although I see your point, Wlad doesn't even dispatch them quickly. Jab, straight, hold. Until the challenger is exhausted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to France and stopped Mormeck, destroyed Enzo and has moved up to how. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash07 26 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 People are forgetting his cruiser career, he fought the best and won, was an underdog against Wormeck where he got off the canvas to stop his man and Demolished an undefeated Enzo in no-time to unify the division. He's been a heavy for about 10 minutes. Stopped Ruiz easily destroyed Gunn and now yet again faces the divisions best in an effort to unify. Criticism of the man is ill informed at best.
