I hope Haye get's fucking nailed. He is rude. That said, I would rather a Klitschko finished him off.
Mayweather's allowed to talk shite as he's the best of a generation. Haye has achieved nothing yet. Less than Naseem Hamed in fact.
As for the result, I genuinely don't know. Should be very interesting.

Mayweather's a real mixture. He does do the trash-talking bit at times, but he's respectful at other times. Don't agree with the "allowed" bit (assorted cowards and idiots have been saying the same about Ginsoak for a while) but there's no doubt Mayweather is a fighter in a thousand.
As for Haye/Valuev, like you I'm really not sure. If you put a gun to my head and force me to choose I'd plump for Haye, but with no great confidence.

Yep, you're right. Much better worded than myself 
Really looking forward to this.
It's my mate's wife's 30th & he originally said there was no chance of getting it on as she doesnt like boxing. I wasnt fussed as I figured we'd leave the party about 2am & watch ity mine, a group of about 10 of us had arranged it.
Then SSN says the other day the main event's at 9pm! So I panicked.
A few phone calls later & my showed his missus the trailer for the fight, she wants to watch it now cos of the size difference, so thankfully it seems to be sorted.
Can someone confirm the fight time though, for once I actually want it early hours cos I'd prefer to watch it on my projector.

Haye is a much better boxer but he doesn't have the best chin and overall I think Haye will win as well.

Frazier was a much better boxer than Foreman... it't not hugely relevant.
Hope it's a great fight. In terms of reigniting the heavyweight division a Haye win would imo be the best outcome. I don't get why people complain about boxers being mouthy and obnoxious. Trash talking creates controversy and hype so more people pay up to watch. Some great fights coming up. Pac man versus cotto and the khan fight too.

I don't get the Haye hate.
I think he's pretty cool and I think he'll win.
My heart sunk at the sight of that tosser Don King today.

I'm with you. I like him.

I had the same reaction to seeing King there too.
FWIW Haye is little bit too arrogant and all of his pre fight interviews and adverts have been cringeworthy. So I'm kinda hoping he takes a pounding because of those.

Now you're cooking with gas. That is going to be some tear-up.

So what time is this fight in the UK?
[/quote]
2130 I believe. So glad I don't have to stay up til 5am. Watched the weigh-in yesterday. Haye at his career heaviest. Sacrifcing some of his speed/mobility for a bit of extra power, which against a monster like the Russian I guess is sensible.

The heavyweight division needs someone a bit mouthy.
At least he has some charisma.
I've seen him interviewed quite a few times and I think he has his tongue planted firmly in his cheek.
He knows he has to create a persona to add interest.
Where have all the heavyweights gone ?
Since the retirement/demise of Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, it's dull as fuck with the giant Russians.

There will be a whole lot of cringing to do if he loses. Cos he's talked a lot leading up to this fight.
[/quote]
It the same with most fights nowadays and often after the fight the 2 fighters pretend nothing happened, claim they have lots of respect for each other, and then go on to build up the next fight. It's so staged nowadays it is becoming more and more like WWE.

I think to an extent they have to with Box Office fights; they have to sell the fight.

I know the reason for it but I don't think that it adds to the product.

Oh, & neets, you like EVERY English boxer!

I think that's part of the reason why I liked Joe Calzaghe and Hatton so much, they treated fights much more like a competition than a spectacle.
