David Haye signs contract to fight Nikolai Valuev on Nov 7

[Chris]

I like Haye, but he's been on TV a lot lately and to me he's not taking this fight seriously. I mean, 1 week to go and he's on SoccerAM and Paul O'grady, not the sort of focus you'd expect from a professional boxer.

Sorry but that is complete and utter drivel. He's promoting a fight.

Floyd was over here on sky before the Marquez fight, any big fight in America has a load of stuff with the fighters on HBO. Haye is on soccer am pretty much before every fight he has.

Camps are beginning to wind down at this stage anyway, fighters have more free time, days off and even when they are training you cant keep them locked up in a hotel room forever. I dont see what harm taking 2 or 3 hours out of your day on the odd occasion to break up your routine is going to do.

This is going to sound very gay but I can't wait to see what type of shape Haye is in at the weigh in. He's normally one of the most cut fighters Ive ever seen, without an ounce of fat on him. I will be interested to see how he looks after piling on the extra muscle.

[Darth Marty]

Theoretically Haye could completely outbox Valuev maybe even to the point of getting a later stoppage, but in reality I see him getting careless somewhere along the line and getting tagged and probably stopped. If he can pull of a flawless nights boxing bit like Khan did for his world title then he can definitely win.

But I am going for the maybe predictable Valuev stoppage because I dont think Haye can go 12 rounds without getting seriously tagged.

Could be a great & very interesting scrap though, im looking forward to it.

****ing bollox you're talking out of your arse...promoting a fight on Paul ****ing Ogrady!!!! Yes m8, big fight fans they are, the Ogrady bunch.

[Chris]

Good grief, its getting yourself out there, he's not limited himself to just Paul O'Grady. Its national exposure, whether its just Paul O'Grady or not. If he's got a few women and kids interested he's done his job.

If you think he's not training properly or taken his eye off the ball and is more interested in tv work then you are an idiot. The most clueless thing ive ever read. Utter nonsense.

I guess Pacquiao isnt taking the Cotto fight seriously. Cotto isnt taking the Pacquiao fight seriously. Mayweather didnt take the Marquez fight seriously. Hatton has never taken a fight seriously. Khan didnt take the Kotelnik fight seriously. Shall we go on?

Why, were they all on Paul Ogrady too?

[Baracus]

Freddie Roach said he'll win, that good enough for me on the predictions side of things

[knockers]

Haye isn't trained by Roach is he?

[Mike]

Haye isn't trained by Roach is he?

No, but i agree with freddie.

[knockers]

No, but i agree with freddie.

If Roach was training him I'd agree but this fight is gonna be fascinating. I hope he wins but it's gonna be a really tricky fight for him. Gutted I'm out with the woman for her mates birthday so will miss it!

Agree, Roach is the best in the business however i still fancy Haye's chances.

Haye is talking way too much and to me seems more interested in promoting the fight than actually fighting it. Hope he does not regret losing his focus because I am now thinking he could be in for a much tougher night than he has planned for.

[Chris]

He surely deserves a bit more respect than people assuming he's lost his focus just because he mouths off. He's always been mouthy and look what he did at cruiser.

Floyd Mayweather is mouthy, Roy Jones is mouthy, Shane Mosley is mouthy. It's boxing.

Its not like he'd have been skipping training so he can run off to do a tv programme or radio show.

[Chris]

For Pablo.
