Even if it's total shit...

...three cheers for heavyweight championship boxing historic reference points.

:bears: :bears: :bears:

 

:dunno:

First time the WBO/WBA/IBF title stand to be unified
First Stadium fight since.....
First time two "Euros" have unified the title...

Correct :dunno:

 

?

I'm saying, even if the fight sucks, it's always going to be remembered and cited as a reference point for this era.

I think we agree? ::

 

Basically this fight is, like, important...or something.

 

Ah, Ok. If Haye wins it will be regarded as more important, than if Klitschko wins.

 

Yes, but the build up has already secured its place in history.

 

How is it important when Haye has proved basically nothing at heavyweight?

You're acting like it's a defining fight for this era. Haye hasn't proved enough at heavyweight for that to be the case.

 

Because a win for Haye confirms that Wlad was up to nothing, and the division has been exorcised a, catharsis has been performed, a dullard removed.

 

I agree with your take on Haye but consider it irrelevant.

Boxing masses have already spoken. This fight matters.

 

Isn't this the fight "everyone" has been waiting for??

 

Look, in England, they have Khan booked down as a Superstar, if he can get past Judah. For all the talk about how average Wlad is, I find it odd that fighting him is what we have all been waiting for.

And, as it happens, I am SICK of waiting for it.

 

I guess it depends how the fight turns out. If Haye proves to be better than expected and wins a good fight, then I don't think so.


But if Wlad loses and the fight resembles Sanders-Wlad or Brewster-Wlad I, then yes..then Wlad will have earned whatever post-fight criticism he receives.

 

I don't know that Wlad is average. I don't see him as any sort of a great heavy, but that doesn't mean he can't fight.

 

Absolutely. And the pundits won't waste anytime pointing it out either.....

 

Put it to you like this- the biggest fight out there is Pac vs Floyd, this is probably the next best thing.......that doesn't mean it is massive, but its still the next best thing.

British TV calling Wlad a cheat and requesting David Haye to do likewise.......which I think is weak.

 

George Foreman talking to Wlad in his dressing room.

Rory McIlroy now getting his tuppence in.

 

So if Haye gets bombed out early, you don't think he will take his lumps from the fans and the media as well?

 

Not in Britain, its been set up as David in the Lions Den....if he gets mauled, he will still get praised as being the only man to go in there and get Klitschko out of his comfort zone etc etc etc

 

He is a Millwall supporter.

 

Supposedly. I'm not sure how affiliated he truly is with things British-wise.

 

Yep

 

Well...I expect them to back their man. It's not like that's the only place that happens. But if Haye gets bombed out, I expect pretty much everyone else to call him a shit-talker who couldn't deliver when it came time to actually fight.

 

In the States, sure. No doubt.

Yeah, that's B a BIT Wrong...

The DIFFERENCE In Size will B ALARMING...But Bear in Mind that Haye UNIFIED Titles @ Crusier...He's NOT a Slouch, & Even if Wlad STRETCHES Haye "Early Doors", that's STILL the Case...
