Comments Thread For: Team Povetkin Express Interest in David Haye Showdown

[joe strong]

hello people!!!!!! if povetkin beats rahman & then offers haye a fight i'm pretty sure haye is going to take it. if he beats povetkin he is wladimir klitschko's MANDATORY! wlad will either have to vacate the WBA title or fight haye. haye already has a WBA regional belt. he may still get both klitschkos before he is done.

I will be surprised if Haye accepts this fight and i do think its a fight Haye can win. Povetkin is a paper champion in the same way that Valuev was and might even be shorter than David. Povetkin was given a gift draw vs Marco Huck and i think David Haye can KO both men. I will say that Povetkin is not going to throw wild hooks like Chisora did, but appears easy to counter with all the punches he does throws. Would be an easy way to get a worthless belt for David Haye and then he can Challenge David Price or Tyson Fury so that they can get their belt and challenge the Klitschkos on somewhat equal terms.

You think Price and Fury beat Haye?

[Someone88]

That would be a great Fight

From a personal point of view i want to see Haye fight a few more times. So id like him to take a fight like this if he couldn't make a fight with Vitali. This time though i really do think it is Vitali or bust for Haye.

As for the fight itself, Haye beats Povetkin. Haye beats everyone in the division bar the Klitschkos IMO.

[kill the body]

Haye needs to take this fight.

You think Price and Fury beat Haye?

Yes i do. Haye is just too small for those counters to be effective and Price, as well as Fury, use their Height very well. Haye might have a chance against Fury, but Fury is improving every fight and lately he has been using movement and that long jab nicely...Meaning it will be very tough for Haye to get inside. Haye was one of the best CruiserWeights of all time, but at Heavyweight, in the Era of Giants, he is just average. Chisora is not great as he lost 3 times in a row before facing Haye, and Fury had Chisora fighting Defensive in the Corner for a good portion of the Fight, whereas Chisora was just bullrushing Haye from the start and had some moments where David was having to duck and move and looked panicked at some points even though DelBoy was not landing anything. I said it before and will say it again, Haye is the 3rd best heavyweight in the UK. Is not a knock on Haye, i just think that both Price and Fury can be great. Price is an old prospect and not getting any younger, so i think he is the logical choice for Haye to fight.

haha this is the funniest thing I have read in a while!! Haye the 3rd best HW in Britain hahaha. You seem to mistake height for ability!

Fury is a total bum, who is an accident waiting to happen. He looks like he is improving because the quality of his opponents is getting worse. He is absolutely nowhere near Haye, not even on the same planet. He is also being very carefully managed due to the tv deal with C5, which is why he gave up his titles to avoid fighting Price, which would have been a logical fight if he had any brains or bollocks.

Price is a decent fighter and seems a decent bloke, but he accepts he's still a bit green and is looking to fight Chisora as a good barometer of his ability.

These were his words yesterday;

Price added: "David Haye's got nothing to gain by fighting me. I'm just British champion and have only had 13 fights. He's a former world champion and he wants to be fighting the very best.
"A fight with me wouldn't generate any interest worldwide, although it probably would in Britain."

These 2 need to clear up the domestic level (including each other) before they think about world level. A couple of fights on road would do them good as well.

[tostao]

coward povetkin's team know that haye is out for big money fight and povetkin is not a draw in heavyweight , that's the reason they're barking at the moon . povetkin will get ko'd if he fights haye

What the helll does bollocks mean? I do believe that David Price can beat David Haye right now. Price never stated that he would lose to Haye, he just stated that there is no interest worldwide or by Haye for the fight to be made, as Haye is looking for money fights right now. Its true that Price is being paced too slowly for his age and should have more than 13 fights as well. But i will say that Price is ready for better opponents than Chisora, as that Bum Fury already showed the world that DelBoy was overrated. I would rather see Price against Chris Arreola, Micheal Grant or even Eddie Chambers in gauging his abilities rather than beating Chisora for his 5th loss in a row. I do find your comments on clearing up the domestic level laughable as the only other fighters worth a damn in the UK is Tyson Fury and Carl Froch. Since Carl Froch is a Super MiddleWeight, we can scratch him from the list. Fury and Price will happen but not now as it makes no sense to have such a big fight with nothing on the line besides elimination.

And now we get to Tyson Fury. I notice all the Hatred for Fury in the UK and that surprises me. Fury is a very young Heavyweight who is already on the Klitschkos radar, as they have stated his name several times. He has not really fought anyone of importance besides Chisora, but a fight with Tomasz Adamek, would change all that. I would also like to see Fury fight Arreola, Povetkin, Seth Mitchell, or even Tony Thompson to get his confidence up before he makes that big leap to Wlad, since Vitali will surely be in government by that time. But when Tyson Fury is World Champion in the Next 3 Years, i hope you still call him a bum and not jump on the Bandwagon.

Now, I do not think Price or Fury can beat either Klitschko Brother as both seem content to wait it out till they both retire before they make their run at World Champion. But i still believe both can beat David Haye.

Haye would put povetkin on the floor and ****** him
