    Haye v Harrison what a joke of a fight haye will rap this up inside 6 rounds and then he'll probably fight Holyfield as he wants a shot at Haye aswell.But I still reckon Haye would beat both of the Klitckos

    Fcuk. call me Don King. How about a handicap match. Harrison and Holyfield V Haye. No crazier then Haye fighting either.

    I just think the heavyweight division so stagnant now. If Haye is the best there is we are screwed. Was not impressed with either of his last 2 fights. Ruiz was spent and Valuev was not a boxer.

    No basis for that at all?

    The Klitchsko's have been fighting punks for the last few years who bend over and agree to "their terms". Haye took a stand and demanded some respect and parity when negotiating a deal. They wouldn't accept that so why should Haye agree to fight them for a minority of the purse!

    Both brothers have offered him a 50/50 cut on more then one occasion. That is more then fair, no?
    Both brothers have been battering everyone they possible can as well.

    Haye is nothing more then another hyped British media joke of a fighter. No surprise he's ducking the two greatest fighters about.

    TMZ has learned ... Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a suspect in a battery domestic violence case.

    Multiple cop cars from the Las Vegas Metro Police Department showed up at Mayweather's home early this morning. We're told cops received a call at 5:03 AM from Floyd's baby mama, Josie Harris, who claimed the boxer attacked her.

    Sources tell TMZ Harris went to Southern Hills Hospital in Las Vegas at some point after the incident and has now left.

    Law enforcement sources say police were unable to find Floyd and are now looking to interview him.

    Cops want to speak to Floyd before determining if they will arrest him.

    We're told Harris is going to court today to get a restraining order against Mayweather.

    they did not offer him anything like it,opening offer was a 70/30 split and an away fight for Haye.
    Who are these British hyped fighters i keep hearing about.Haye was the best cruiserweight in the world,won a proper world title fight and dont think he has ducked anyone

    "Haye doesn't want to fight," said Vitali. "He talks so much, but he has to be honest with people.
    "[The Klitschkos] are ready to fight him anytime. We'll split the worldwide income 50-50 - I think that's fair.
    "Right now David Haye is missing. If he's afraid to fight, he needs to tell everyone and stop the talk.
    "If he's ready, let's sign the contract and talk in the ring with our fists, not with our mouths."

    The Klitschkos have zilch to prove, the "mouthy Brit" has it all. Valueev wasn't even a boxer for christ sake.

    he has won all around him in cruiserweight and won his first attempt at a heavyweight title.He hits hard and moves quick so offers serious trouble for either Klitschko.
    That 50/50 split was far from it.Klitchko was to get the money from germany and Haye the british tv money.Considering germany has a tv audience share of 50% when Klitschkos fight then this is not a proper/fair split.
    I think the Klitschkos are great fighters but lets not belittle haye and his obvious talents.
    Who are these other overhyped Britsih fighters that i keep hearing about.This is one of the most annoying things boxing and non boxing fans say about Sky and english/british boxers

    For starters:

    Ricky Hatton

    Amir Khan (though he may come good yet, still has a lot to do in my eyes)

    Kevin Mitchell

    Fraudley

    Carl Froch

    Tyson Fury

    so you named 6 fighters and one of them is regarded by Roach as one of his greatest ever prospects,won an olympic silver and is 22 years old.
    Froch,a really talented figher,not as good as he thinks but equal to most in his weight division,explain how he is overhyped please.
    Hatton was never as good as many english or irish fight fans think he was but a terrific fighter at light welter and shown up badly at welter.
    Mitchell is overhyped why?he lost one fight to the biggest puncher in the divison and again is only 22.
    Tyson Fury?Clutching at straws there,who hyped him and isnt he Iirsh traveller by the way and not a british fighter.
    Fraudely is a has been and had never the heart for pro game but never discount an olympic gold medal.

    What about Naz,Eubank,Benn,Lewis,Copper,Calzaghe,buchanan,Conteh,Honeyghan,Graham.Not bad at all for a country where boxing is so undervalued.Rubbish argument that all Brits are overhyped,the boxing game is all about hype

    Froch aint all that. Dirrell could have beaten him. Taylor had him beaten and he fluked a knock out. We saw what happen to Taylor since. Kessler showed him up. I reckon Abraham will knock him out. Ward will beat him too.

    I never said all British fighters over hyped, just highlighted many I feel are. I liked Hatton but could see his flaws. I was surprised he lasted as long as he did against PBF.

    Khan is being hyped by Roach, but has it all to do in my eyes.

    Calzaghe was a great fighter. Shame Jones ducked him.

    Haye would not survive a second against any of the greats, but the hype that surrounds him you would think he was the greatest ever. I understand it as he promotes himself, but still.

    I really like Haye and think he will give both Klitschkos a really good rattle.Personally i hate this Fraudley fight and would love to see him and Adamek in a war.
    Khan has everything required for genuine world class and i think Mitchell will recover from the bad loss.Khan is very quick,hard hitter and good physique.A bit more neck strength and more guile from Roach and i think we are looking at a Mannyesque career.
    People always forget how bad some of the greats were as novices,remember mannys wild early fights.
