Haye has really turned it into WWF in terms of his selling of the event. It's the same for every fight, I have to admit he's sucked me in, I'm tempted to watch it.

And that's exactly what he's trying to do. I suspect the ppv take ups are down so Sky have asked the boxers to crank it up.

It's absolutely bizarre. Any other sport and the participants would be disgraced, banned, fined, you name it. Told someone he was going to smash his f-cking head in and called the press 'retards'.

It's all a laughable con.

He called Bellews supporters retards as it was in Liverpool. Its to sell ppv. Boxing is still a great sport IMHO. Watch some of the domestic fights as they climb the ladder and you'll see what I mean.

I'm sure you're right. Just wish it got more professional the higher you go, seems to be the opposite.

It sells ,simple as. Don't forget Ali was trash talking in the 60's. Nobody wants a fight where the opponents want to hug each other. I know what you mean though as its all rather silly but it adds needle to the fight and occasionally the gobby one loses and looks a right tw@t

It adds hype and even though it's probably all an act, people want to see it.

Look at AJ and Klitschko, I'm not really bothered about that fight despite it being the biggest fight since Fury-Klitschko, and that's mainly because they seem to be writing love letters to each other, it's just not appealing.

As for what Haye said, Bellew started all the sh*t talk and called Haye out, so when he was getting booed and jeered in Liverpool by Bellew lovers, he's hit back at them. I've seen alot of people praising him for it. Haye will batter Bellew and KO him, simple as that. Boxers being all nicey/nicey is far too boring.

Look at Whyte - Chisora from last year, that was a proper scrap, probably the best I've seen for a long time, and that was because of all the hype in the build up and hatred they had for each other.

Whyte_Chisora was a great fight I agree. Bellew is a gobby git but I don't think he will get battered. I'll take Haye in the fourth with a knockout.

I'm not Bellew's biggest fan and I can only see it ending with a KO for him. I find it a bit silly that Hearn has let him take the fight just for the payday knowing Bellew is out of his depth.

If Haye is as or more powerful than his former self, Bellew is in trouble.

The weight is the only thing I'd be concerned with. On paper Bellew is ,as you say, a big underdog BUT Haye hasn't fought properly for years whereas Bellew has had some hard rounds against good opponents. I still fancy Haye early but if it goes past 5 rounds I'd worry for Haye.

I guess I must be missing something, but whilst I can see boxing's got a lot of youngsters out of poverty and off the streets, I just don't get how, in modern times when all other sports are doing their utmost to protect the brains of competitors, pro boxers are still allowed to step into the ring to deliberately aim heavy blows at the unprotected heads of their opponents.

Should add that I'm influenced by having regularly met (in my working life) an old pro boxer whose brain was turned to cabbage as a result of his career - 'punch drunk' syndrome.

Ok then let's ban it and watch it go underground with no proper medical facilities, no doctors and no drug testing.

They have also suggested that wearing head gear actually leads to boxers receiving harder blows so there is no safe answer to the head injury issues without banning punches to the head

Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!

Each to their own I suppose. I love a good boxing match but on the other hand I cannot get into cage fighting. Also you have to remember that the boxers are willing participants. Its not like some poor sod getting a good kicking on a Saturday night.

It's all about the £££ even though Bellew is currently WC at Cruiser he doesn't have anyone in that division that will make big bucks, he is looking for a payday and you can't blame him, I heard he was getting £3m for this fight so he's probably thought why not, even if he loses he can go back down have a couple of defences and secure himself financially.

Haye is all about the £ too, which is why he is back having said that he would retire at 31, he;s also looking for a payday down the line with AJ, and he knows in his heart of hearts that AJ will destroy him, but it would make him millions in the meantime.

Haye is going to destroy him. It's a mismatch really, although some people think Haye is going to be lighter than Bellew on the night but I think that would only be because Bellew has bulked up.
Joshua would struggle with Haye if you ask me, not that you did of course.
