Haye Confirms That He Has Not Had Any Contact With The Klits

[Losfer_Words]

Who will buckle first and eventually initiate the talks for the fight: the Klits or Haye? Haye's bargaining position is now completely valid and it's great to see him chillaxing on chasing/ talking nothing but a fight with either of the Klits- the fight is now just as important for them as it is for him.

On form as always in this interview:

"Apparently we have some sort of agreement but I have no idea where he has got that from, he has made that up from somewhere," Haye said of Vitali.
"I haven't actually talked to them since before the Valuev fight.
"Next up for me is John Ruiz. After I've beaten him up good style then I'm going to sit round the table and then we'll talk about the fight with Vitali."
"Anyone who has a title, I'm coming after them, plain and simple," added Haye. "The dream is still on. I have achieved my goal of becoming a world champion.
"Now it's all about cementing my legacy by unifying the titles and dominating the division like the greats like Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson and defending my belts as many times as possible."

Interesting that he is now saying he wants to defend 'as many times as possible' as opposed to the 'I'll be retired by the time I'm 31' line he's been repeating for years as well:think.

[theuppercut]

Whilst he's winning and earning the bucks Haye wont retire at 31. Same as Khan who said a wee while back I'll retire at 25!

Haye can dominate the division I have no doubt about that. But of course the two Ks have to be taken care of. Surely 2010 will see David Haye v a Klitschko.

His title run will be very short lived. I'm really not surprised that he doesn't want to fight the Klits. Adamek, Boystov, Peter etc would all fuck him up.

Pissed already?

[KCD]

Fighting once every 900years will not build you a legacy of any kind.

Regardless of what people think Haye needs either Klitschko more than they need him.

But the fight needs to happen.

Boystov:lol:
Peter :nut:lol::rofl

If you think Vit made Peter look stupid then Haye with his superior speed would do an even better job on fat Peter. Fatty bum bum moves around the ring as if he needs a zimmer frame yet you think he could beat Haye :rofl

The dude is blatantly flaming. Let him be, he wants the attention and has got it:good.

Does anyone want to discuss the thread topic?:lol:

[rooq]

didn't adam booth said there had been no contact as well recently?

probably a good thing not to look beyond ruiz just yet.

Exactly. It's good that Haye and Booth aren't looking beyond Ruiz even if Haye should deal with him handily. Things like that usually come back and bite you in the arse.

[TFFP]

No big deal. There is no need to talk to anybody but John Ruiz.

The comment about defending his titles if it gets to that stage is interesting though.

Yeah, it is completely different to everything he's said in the past and is a very interesting quote and is one of the reasons why I posted this thread. Perhaps it's dawned on him just how big the title of 'HW Champ' actually is:think.

I hope this interview is a sign of things to come in terms of future bargaining position and strategy in negotiations with the Klits. It would be great if they both started saying 'I want Haye' rather than just give answers when questions about Haye are posed to them.

[Dan684]

We gonna see Haye back out again ?

back out of what...nothing been signed, agreed or even discussed

A lot of boxers put age limits on their careers when they are young or in their prime but nearly every single one of them goes over that limit and retire when they just arn't good enough any more.

This is interesting. I wonder whether this new attitude will see him taking more fihts as well? Previously he has always tried to do things in the fewest steps possible. If he's now talking about defending titles to build a legacy will he also take more fights if he needs to before going in with the Klits?

It's possible. Haye does have plenty of options out there with the Klits being the two biggest options. Should Haye defeat Ruiz, a fight with either B-Hop or Adamek could also make him a huge sum of money and get him huge exposure as well and would be a logical move. Then, you could argue that he offers more at the negotiating table than either of the Klits:think Who knows?:think It is definately an interesting quote, though.

[DUNNERS_2009]

I say get rid of Ruiz then Adamek/ then Hopkins then a mandatory will probably have to be dealt with then go for the Klitschko's

[Dan684]

What ?

I'd say get rid of Ruiz then aim for either Klit and nothing else. Fighting Hopkins is a farce. Fighting Adamek is a risk not worth taking. Nobody else in the Div worth mentioning bar the brothers.

Adamek isn't too much of a risk at HW, IMO. At cruiser it would have been a very good fight, though. Imagine the hype for a Haye-Adamek fight in a stadium in Poland or in New Jersey (or somewhere else in the States with a big Polish contingent). A fight with B-Hop would be huge. It would have a huge build-up and Haye's name would be everywhere. In terms of a HW fight, beating B-Hop will prove very little, but it would be massive exposure in the States and could potentially make Haye the daddy in negotiations with the Klits.

Personally, should he beat Ruiz, I'd rather see Haye go straight for Wlad. I do, however, realise that a fight with B-Hop or Adamek could give Haye the chance to capitalise on a very big name.

[Dan684]

Bollocks. If Haye opts for Hopkins i'll go off him big time. He's waited enough for Vitali to cripple. Vitali next Wlad after that nothing else

[dan-b]

Wlad's going to be tied up with mandatories for most of next year, I think that's why the focus is on Vitali.

[Grievesy]

I agree. Get rid of Ruiz then straight for the Klitschko's. Nobody else is worth the trouble at the moment. He can fight them after.

[RichT]

I personally don't know who I'd prefer to see him fight after Ruiz and won't have a view on this until after the fight. If he takes Ruiz out in 5 or 6 and looks solid in doing so then I'd love to see him fight Wlad next (although in all likleyhood a fight with a Klit is looking like it would be Vitali because he is protecting younger brother) but if there's any sign of vulnerability I'd like to see him take another fight before going for a Klitschko.

A fight against Adamek could sell out Wembley imo. The stadium isn't far from Slough and there is a huge Polish community here. Those guys like their boxing as well. I think Haye would deal with him comfortably but I'm not sure it would do much to prepare him for a fight with either Klit.

. . . all assuming he beats Ruiz of course!

If you don't think he looks good enough against Ruiz then he'll never be good enough. Having one more fight will not change that.
