A RESPONSE TO THE HAYE BANDWAGON

I would love to see David Haye unify the titles but he wont, I just don't see that happening. Here are some of the reasons. Once again this is just my opinion so if you don't like it too bad, write a retort. Like I said I might eat my words and when that time comes we will see. Every one is on the Haye bandwagon, it will take me a lot more to crown him the best in the division.

People who say his chin isn't made of glass should look at the facts.
KOed by Carl Thompson
Knocked down by Monte Barrett who can punch
Knocked down by Jean Marc Mormeck


Who called out David Haye? Bernard Hopkins, Tomasz Adamek, James Toney, Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir Klitschko, Audley Harrison, Chris Arreola

Wladimir Klitschko called him out before the Ruiz fight after Haye already backed out of a contract with him.

"I would prefer to fight him in a soccer arena but I would fight him in a car parking lot if necessary."

Tomasz Adamek called him out after Haye won the WBA belt.

“You call yourself the best heavyweight fighter in the world after running scared for the whole fight with Nikolai Valuev? It’s not even funny.”

"Talking is cheap, People don't care how big you are during the press conferences. They want to see a man in the ring. I never say too much before my fights and my opponents are not saying a lot afterwords because they are knocked down. You say you want to be a people's champion. If so fight me . That's what the people want."

James Toney called him out when he said he was going to fight at heavyweight. Not even a response from the fearless Haye, people say never duck anyone.

"David Haye is a comedian. Is he scared of an old, fat, short guy? He has done nothing to even deserve a fight Wladimir Klitschko. He won the cruiserweight title by beating an old guy and a guy who can't fight.
"If he got the balls, let's sign a contract and do this. My record is proven. Come and try to beat me. All golden boy has to do is call Dan."
"As terrible as Klitschko is he will beat Haye. Haye has no chin and no heart. He proved that against Carl Tompson years ago. Things don't change. He is a typical Euro and British fighter. They get fed a bunch of bums and come over here and don't want to fight a good fighter. I will destroy David Haye. He will never fight again. Every fighter I fight I ruin them. They are never the same again."

Going after the Klits? He had 2 chances to fight both of them and he backed out like little child. A made up back injury, and he pulled out of the other fight to fight the slow lumbering giant, great move. People love to talk trash about the Klitschko brother but they have fought everyone in the heavyweight division. They have beaten every challenger that has stepped up as of late.
Who did he get his belt from? How is that cleaning out the division?
Enzo was no good, in the first place. who did Enzo beat?
He got his WBO belt after Johnny Nelson retired.Wow, good call on Enzo he was a paper champ.
Jean Marc Mormeck was good guy but old, and he got knocked down by him in that fight not so much total domination. The title he got from the Russian is also suspect. Valuev won that title on 2 bad decisions from Jon Ruiz. Ruiz was a paper champ because he won that title when it was vacant. Roy Jones gave up that belt so he never really won it. Yea he beat Valuev who beat Ruiz who beat no one.

Haye never fought for the IBF title (Steve Cunningham) won that title in May of 2007, Haye instead of fighting Cunningham a more superior boxer, he fought for the PRESTIGIOUS WBO title against Enzo after he beat Mormeck in 07.
He was in the division for years when he could have fought Adamek, and Cunningham.
He would lose to the top 2 guys in the cruiser weight division right now, Steve Cunningham, who he wouldn't fight , and Krzysztof Wlodarczyk.

AND THE NEW.....HAYE DOESN'T GET THE KO BUT HE DOES GET THE WIN

This was a closely fought contest with the smaller one coming out on top with a 12 round decision. Haye was throwing Haye-makers all night but his best one didn't land until the 12Th. Haye's movement and quickness got him the decision against the lumbering giant. The beautiful baby-faced champ Valuev fought as well as he could against a smaller quicker man. He landed a bunch of decent punches, mostly his jab and an occasional right or left. With out the power to hurt Haye the champ was fighting an up hill battle from the start. You can't fault the giant he gave it his all it just wasn't enough. I guess he wasn't all talk he stood in there with a giant and won, but it wasn't as impressive as he said it would be. Although a win is a win, Haye will have to show a lot more to even have a chance with each other of the Klitschko brothers. So what did we learn from this fight? For me it just reinforced the fact that The giant Russian can not be in an exciting fight, and anyone who fights with him will look bad. What did we learn about Haye? Well, he can go 12 with an heavyweight big man that can't punch and he will be here until he fights a decent heavyweight.

GREAT BOXING ON TV THIS WEEKEND

November 7Th

Chad Dawson vs. Glen Johnson

This is a great rematch that Dawson won the first time, I thought Johnson won. I am picking Johnson to win in what most people would call an upset to line up a third fight. In this fight you get to see a young, highly skilled phenom Chad Dawson try to show his speed and power to beat a man who wont go down easy. Glen Johnson will pressure Dawson smothering him trying to take his legs, and go for a KO. This fight will be on HBO at 9:30PM ET so be ready or record it.

Alfredo Angulo vs. Harry Joe Yorgey


Everybody knows El Perro and how ferocious he can be and how weak he looked against Kermit Cintron, which one will show up. Not too many people know Harry Joe Yorgey, but he is good. I know this because he knocked out Detroit representative and son of legend Ronald Hearns. This fight could go either way it Yorgey can box and move he can beat Angulo but if he can't he will be malled badly. Either way this should be an entertaining fight to watch as an under card bout on the Dawson/Johnson fight on HBO.

Nikolai Valuev vs. David Haye

This is truly a David vs. Goliath fight with the 7 ft Russian giant going up against the UK loudmouth and blown up cruiser weight David Haye. This is a slow lumbering giant with OK skills facing a very fast fighter with a mighty punch. This one is hard to pick, if Haye can hurt Valuev early and get him out of there he can win. If he can't he will be tired and possibly set up the big man for the KO. I know Haye will get exposed but will it happen against the giant probably not . Having said this I'm picking Haye in an ugly fight, I like to pick the smaller guy it makes the fight much more fun to watch. It can be a bad decision in Russia because anything can happen just ask "The Real Deal". Even if Haye wins he will get crushed by a number of heavyweights including The Klitschko brother which he is afraid of.


Also Wednesday on ESPN2 we have Jr lightweight Jason Litzau in action against Johnnie Edwards. This should be a fun fight to watch and all 10 rounds will be fought hard. On Saturday Joel Casamayor against Jason Davis, and Zab Judah is against Ubaldo Hernandez are back in action in the welterweight division. This could set up a fight between the two and it would also be fun to watch if it ever materialize.
