David Haye signs contract to fight Nikolai Valuev on Nov 7

[Shaggy]

Surprised he got the verdict although he outboxed Valuev. Tactics spot-on, made for a dull fight mind. Can't wait to see him take on one of the Klitschkos.

[fah-q]

Yes.

Pompous, swollen or overblown?

[Chris]

Thank **** for that, the title is now out of his hands and he wont be getting another one.

I'm surprised he got it but it was fully deserved.

[Joey Jones]

Well done Haye, he stuck to the game plan perfectly.

What's next for Haye? Mandatory defence (Chagaev?) or can he go straight for one of the Klitschko's?

[Chris]

He's gotta fight Ruiz next. Not bad really, it's a good chance to look very impressive in winning.

[RedsFan83]

Boring as hell that fight.

[Joe King]

Ruiz is next

Boring as hell that fight.

Aye well done Haye, good victory.

But my god was that fight boring. 2 heavyweights whose only interest was to avoid getting hurt. Valuev was embarrassingly over-defensive. Snorefest

[Mike]

Firstly, on that last picture, how ugly does Valuev look enough is enough.

Made up for David, really am. Forget about Khan or Hatton, this guy is the real deal, and he wants the big fights soon as possible, good lad.

Btw one question, which one of the Klitschko's is the cowardly one? You know the one i mean, the one who is always defensive and looks terrified when he has to throw a punch, but even more terrified when one is coming at him.

Haye & Klitschko target showdown

WBA champion David Haye and WBC king Vitali Klitschko want a heavyweight unification clash next year.
The Ukrainian told BBC Radio 5 live he is "ready to give Haye a fight and to knock him out" once he has got past American Kevin Johnson on 12 December.
Briton Haye, who faces a mandatory defence against former WBA champion John Ruiz, responded: "Let's get it on. I look forward to a mega-showdown."
Haye took the WBA title by outpointing Russian Nikolay Valuev on Saturday.
The 29-year-old Londoner won a majority decision in Nuremberg to become the first British world heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis retired in 2003.

Haye has already seen one bout with Klitschko fall through and also pulled out of a June meeting with Klitschko's younger brother, IBF and WBO champion Wladimir, because of a back injury.
"It is very difficult to say what will happen in the future because Haye is so unpredictable, but I am ready at any time to fight him," said Klitschko, 38.
"I am the holder of the WBC belt, the belt that Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield and George Foreman held.

"The WBC belt is the best in the world and I am ready to fight anyone in the world and prove that I am the strongest."

However, any meeting between Klitschko and Haye would only happen after they fulfil their contractual obligations first.

[Chris]

Btw one question, which one of the Klitschko's is the cowardly one? You know the one i mean, the one who is always defensive and looks terrified when he has to throw a punch, but even more terrified when one is coming at him.

Wladimir is the one with the dodgy chin so is very worried of getting caught. Cowardly is the last word id use to describe him mind.
