    Yes I know. I can't stand Haye either. Fury more so.

    No, I'd actually prefer he wore the St. Georges cross. Edit. That's saying something too!

    Sometimes it's nice to enjoy sports without adding a political/nationalist slant to it.

    Lol, i've seen all the fighters you've mentioned countless times. As i said previously his fight aren't always the most exciting but at the art of boxing - hit and dont get hit, he's the best to do it.

    You obviously didn't live through that era, otherwise you wouldn't be using patter like "lol".

    Anyway, whilst he may be one of the best defensive boxers out there, he's never the greatest of all time. Not a * chance.

    Who cares what 'patter' im using, i've seen those fighters and many more from different era's. I could just as easily say someone who was around then is stuck in that time and cant see past those kind of fighters.

    Asking if he is the greatest of all time is a hypothetical question, there is no right or wrong answer and IMO he is and thats that really

    I was meaning more in the sparring sense than his physique :smiley-laughing002: but yeh, it's not much to go on, just looks very sharp to me.

    He's developed really well in recent years and done remarkably well for a guy with a limited amatuer background.

    Still think Haye will hurt him and finish him though. I'll probably have my biggest bet of the year on a Haye win.

    Better wrap up that toe, lest it break at the wrong moment and turn the fight against him again.

    He's not though, realistically.

    None of his performances or wins come close to Duran beating Leonard or Leonard beating Hagler. In fact they're miles apart really.

    In terms of skills, he can be ranked very, very highly. In terms of accomplishments he's unfortunately not even the best of the modern era, as good as he is.

    Haye came out of that whole thing looking like a complete * :smiley-laughing002:

    The same weekend my bro fought in a grappling comp with a rib that was actually poking out of his ribcage, it was broken so badly :smiley-laughing002:

    I think he made up for it by smashing Chisora while looking like the most relaxed man in the room though.

    For * sake, Haye has pulled out of the Fury fight because of a injury.
    Suspicious?

    He's due to be on Chatty Man next week according to the girlfriend.

    My answer - last night - was that it was weird that he'd be on AFTER a fight, usually they would be doing shows beforehand.

    * of a man.
