You know things arn't gonna go your way when you go ar$e over t1ts over the top rope on your entrance


He could have creamed this yank in 2.

Offensively he is ready for the Klitschkos.

Defensively is a worry. He has said it himself he doesn't have much of a chin, so he should really work on fighting with his gloves in front of his face.

I don't care what you're style is, when you're not throwing a punch, there's no better place for them to be.

Great performer though and always comes across as a good bloke too. Explosive power and it doesn't look like he's lost any speed going up to his natural weight.

Looks like it'll go ahead with one of the Klitschos too. Probably Vitali.

I actually felt embarrassed watching his ring "enterance".

Feck knows how he felt in front of 20k people and millions at home.

Apart from that it was a nothing fight. Haye will need to be 20 times better with his ballence and defence to beat Vit or Wlad.

Yeah, course he is.



The Klitschko brothers wont have fought anyone like David Haye before and I bet neither will be particularly looking forward to it either.

I thought it was a great way to throw his name onto the table for a potential world title fight in June. I personally think it is to early for that and someone like Rahman would be a better option first, rather than going straight in for the Klitschko brothers but you cant knock his confidence.

David Haye is potentially the best thing to happen to the heavyweight division in a long time and I am genuinely excited by what I saw tonight.

Couldn't agree more mate!

Just have a slight worry as has been pointed out earlier about having his hands so low and his ability to resist a big punch. I'd also like to see him do a bit more work behind a jab.

You can't knock him though, he goes in there and gets the job done in spectacular fashion and is as exciting as anyone out there at the minute and as has already been proved you cannot question his heart or determination.

Onwards and upwards.

I said to the missus I would never follow any other boxer in the States after watching Ricky there 4 times, but have to say I don't think I'd think twice about following Haye over there in the future if it came about.

Vitali is no longer World Champ is he?

The size difference and reach will be way too big an obstacle for him. Also his defence is nowhere near good enough.

There is no doubting Haye's punching power but he leaves himself far too open to be hit back. When you have a glass jaw and youre faced with someone of the reach of a Klitschko, there is very little chance.

Last night Hull's Luke Campbell became the first Briton to winb the European Championship for over 40 years. You watch the fight on www.sporthull.co.uk

I thought it was absolutely hilarious.







I felt a bit sorry for him really, but it was his own fault and I just couldn't help but laugh my ass off when I saw him fall over the top rope. I think we all knew for sure at that point, he was going to be a bit of a duff opponent.



As for Haye last night, another exciting performance. He has so much punching power and speed, he'll be a threat for anyone in this division. I think he'll get a World Title shot eventually, but like other he needs to take on another opponent in the division and see how he does.

Whilst on the subject of ring entrances, go to a well known video site and type 'funny boxer ring entrance' and click the top one. Hilarious!

Vitali Klitschko is the only decent fighter out there in the Heavyweight division to my knowledge, Wladimir Klitschko isn't it the same class as his brother IMO and is much more fragile and i could see David Haye taking him apart should he succesfully defend his titles against Hasim Rahman...

He is. When he walked away from boxing, the WBC bestowed him with the tag ‘Champion Emeritus’. Meaning when Vitali was ready to fight again, the WBC would immediately make him the next mandatory challenger for the belt. He fought Samuel Peter in Germany recently for the WBC title, and won. Peter retired in the corner.

Haye would undoubtedly be the underdog especially with Vitali, but with that much dynamite in both hands you couldn't write him off in any fight IMO.

Just Watched The Monte Barrett Punch Again When David Haye Slipped, What A Disgraceful Piece Of Unsportsman Like Behaviour...

To be fair Haye caught Barrett pretty similarly in an earlier round.

I just don't get the fuss with the Klitschkos.

Vitali has spent the last two or three years bleating about a rematch with Lewis while taking time out of the ring and knocking over the occasional bum like Peter.

Wladimir has more of a glass jaw than Haye, it's just that only a relative few have managed to get past his hit and hold tactics long enough to expose it.

Wladimir would be a soft touch for Haye, but the older Vitali gets the quicker and stronger he ain't and I don't think he could live with Haye's hand speed and movement.

Two of the worst heavyweight champions ever imo. If there was anyone half decent out there they would have been knocked out years ago, its a shame Lewis did not have another yera in him to knock them both out.

In an era that brought you Chagaev, the freak show that is Valuev and Chris Byrd, that's a damning indictment.

Its a boreathon watching them, hold, hold, hold and then hold again.

The Klitschko's should fight each other...me and my brother used to fight all the time!!

They promised Mummy they'd never do it. I've never had a fight with my brother me. We've always been top with each other. Probably chin him for afew million though.

Im sure they could come to some kind of Williams-Brothers style agreement...Vitali wins the first but there has to be a re-match which Wladimir "mysteriously" wins!!

I don't think there can be any argument that Vitali is a different class to Wladimir but I'd still like David Haye to have one more fight at heavyweight before going for either one of their titles. Having said that, I firmly believe Haye would beat Wladimir if they fought tomorrow, his chin and his generally timid boxing style would be exposed, but Vitali would be a significantly tougher opponent.

Was very impressed with the way Haye dismantled a dangerous Monte Barrett, Barrett's entrance was amazing!



Looking forward for Hatton/Malignaggi now, two of my favourite boxers going head to head.

the man would belt the crazy cat
