Haye v's Harrison

can we get the medics on standby pls

what kind of odds would you get on a harrison no show?

I think Haye is an absolute joke for making this fight,so disappointing for heavyweight boxing.

Understandable though isn't it?
If he fights a Klitschko and loses best case scenario he has one more big fight against the other Klitschko then fights Audley but not for the World Championship.
Now he pockets ~£5mil in a world title fight against Harrison and still has the Klitschko's to fight if/when he wins.
I think he's just maximising his earnings ready to retire after the Klitschko fight(s).

[DaveShoelace]

Though as a boxing fan I would never have made it, it will be a very good fight from a hype perspective. It certainly wont be as good a fight as Sky will make it seem, but will get the non boxing crowd interested. Plus Haye will also be exciting because he is chinny, so it turns what would otherwise be a total mismatch into an interesting enough encounter. I think it will be a much better fight overall (hype and actual fight) than people think, but still probably a bit toss if it wasnt for a title.

Also, have booed Harrison for a decade but kinda routing for him a bit, just because its such an underdog story.

Nah fuck it, I want Audley to lose this joke of a fight

[mondatoo]

What price will I get on it being over within 1 minute ?

If he goes on to fight the Klitschko brothers then ok but if he fades them and fights some other mugs like Audrey then it's a joke.I don't think Audrey has any right to a World title fight and its an insult to the other heavywieghts who are much more deserving of a shot,Harrison's career has been one big joke,imo.

Its a win win for me. Either Harrison manages to make it a decent fight or Haye beats the shit out of him and embarrasses him and ends his career. For the record, I pretty much hate Audley and have booed him ever since he signed with the beeb to fight journeymen for £1mil, its just now the fight has been made I can see the appeal of it, should it have been made? no, but I am intrigued to see how it will go.

Plus there is no way it will be over in a minute, Harrison is too cagey/scared to get that close that soon, but it could be over with the first meaningful punch.

[Josedinho]

I don't think Audley will win. If Haye prepares himself properly then he'll walk it. It's only 2 months away though so if Haye believes he'll walk it then Audley has a slim chance. The punch he landed against Sprott was sick but i don't see Haye ever letting him get near him with a punch like that.
I can just see the reason behind the fight if Haye is serious about retiring ealry-ish then this is the moneymaker before he attempts to make himself a legend.

[stonecoldkiller]

I would lol so much if Fraudley caught Haye with a Hail Mary punch. Could you imagine Fraudley as world Champion. lol

Soooo hope this happens though obvo wont.

Haye is so overrated as a fighter, just around in a piss poor era for the heavies.
This just shows Haye up, he bangs on about being the best heavy on the planet but constantly fades the best fighters

[Josedinho]

Constantly fades the best fighters? Didn't he unify the Cruiserweight world titles? To do that you have to beat every champion meaning he had to fight the best.
You can argue that he has dodged the Klitchkos but once was down to injury (harsh to argue that it wasn't) and the second was when he was a World Champion and wasn't offered the money he thought he was worth. Both sides have said they'd fight but it hasn't happened yet. If the Klitchko's wanted Haye that badly they could have offered him equal money but they didn't want to. It's not just a case of getting in the ring.
I think he'll fight at least one of them and maybe Chagaev too. Until his career ends without him facing them then i don't think you can say he's faded them.
