Boxing: Klitschko vs Haye

Should I even waste my time? I used to be a fan of heavyweight boxing but the last few years have been pretty pathetic imo. I've pretty much lost all interest. I've heard of the Klitschko brothers, of course, and believe there is some talent there (I guess) or lack of competition, but they just don't peak my interest. I have no idea who Davied Haye is... (or just don't remember).

What happened to the Heavyweight class and the Great American heavyweight boxers/personalities? Anybody on the horizion or is it just a dead sport or division? Any die hard fans who have interest in this fight?

(MMA, UFC are a lil to violent for me)

Klitschkos are beasty, very underrated. If you don't no who haye is you're no boxing fan. Haye is a great heavyweight personality. If he was American he would be all over ESPN.

Just one example of how funny this dude is.

Yes, admittedly I'm much less of a fan of boxing than I have been in the past. Other than the Pacman/Mayweather tease all ll I hear about is old dudes (Holyfield....) trying to make comebacks and no-name, lesser talents..etc. The lack of quality boxers have pushed me away so I'm sure I've missed some potentially great boxer on the rise. Maybe Haye is one of them, but he's not covered much here so I don't know.

Looking at your video and others of him boxing on youtube he does look like the total package of skill and personality, and as you say, would get much more coverage here if he was American. I didn't even know he was an Englishman, but he looks like my type of boxer and I hope he does well. Don't know about any top competition he's faced though, so we'll see.

Thanks for the info, I do have some interest now in the fight.

I have a lot of respect for the Klitschko brothers. They are great boxers, but I am hoping Haye can win by KO. As someone already said he has a great personality for a heavyweight and does a wonderful job of building/hyping his fights up. I hope he can live up to the talk in the ring. I think it will come down to whoever catches the other one first with a big shot because they both have questionable chins and lots of power.

That was an absolute disgrace to boxing. Haye should be embarrased with himself. This guy was actually flopping in the ring like he was a soccer player.Trying to buy points from the ref. Absolute disgrace.

And now he's trying to make excuses that he had a broken toe and "that's why" he didn't perform well. Get the hell outta here. I hope i never see this guy again. I keep trying to get back into heavyweight boxing but it's stuff like this that continues to keep me away. I'll stick with my welterweights and middle weights

Huh?! It's over?? Totally forgot about the time difference, I was waiting for late night to see what happened:lol: That bad huh? Well, I guess we can agree on this...I keep looking for a reason to get back into the heavyweight division too but there have been far too many disappointments in recent years.

Maybe one of these dudes (especially #1) can renew my interest in the heavyweight division, but right now it sucks!!

I'm dissapointed that David Haye is a Englishmen after watching that crap they called a Boxing Match, I'm glad that Klitschko got the win and shut Haye up. David Haye should never show his face in Boxing ever again after that display and his poor excuse for losing "Oh I broke my toe" some fighters have broke there hands in the ring and still managed to win. Good to see that the Heavyweight Division now belongs to the Klitschko's and will do until they both decide to hang up the gloves.

David Haye sucked.. and he wont admit it. CWEBB04z

:D

I agree with you. I don't like the attitude of Haye.
