TO STEP IT UP TIME FOR DAVID HAYE


Here is an article I read in the Sun yesterday and it made me really wonder what the hell is Haye doing? He’s ran his mouth about the Klitschkos and it’s surely time to step it up everybody is calling for it. Wladimir Klitschko has already scheduled a fight in September with Alexander Povetkin so there’s only Vitali for Haye to fight. What happens if that fight falls through? In my opinion there is nobody that he will be respected for fighting other than these two guys. Another point I picked up on from Maloney’s article is that David seems to be staying out of the spotlight a lot considering he is usually such a publicity guy who loves all the attention. Could this possibly be a publicity stunt to build publicity? If so then I fear he could be loosing respect from fans as the days go by. It’s almost been 4 months since Haye beat Ruiz and we have heard absolutely nothing except from rumors about who Haye is going to be facing next. So the questions I would like to ask are…Has anyone heard the latest from the man himself?What next for Haye if Vitali chooses another opponent?How do you feel Haye will cope against Vitali if a fight is scheduled?And finally, what do you feel Haye is doing by taking himself out of the spotlight?

TIME FOR DAVID HAYE TO STEP IT UPWHAT NEXT? ...

Frank Maloney fears David Haye could be left in limboFRANK MALONEY fears David Haye could damage his career if he does not step up his fight schedule. Haye, 29, won the WBA heavyweight title last November but has defended it just once since ripping it from Nikolai Valuev's grasp. He looked impressive against John Ruiz in April and appeared to be on collision course with the Klitschko brothers. However, talks with Wladimir Klitschko stalled and fellow Brit Audley Harrison could now face the Hayemaker instead in November. Haye does not believe his fellow Londoner deserves a title shot but Maloney is worried the man he promoted during his cruiserweight days could be left in the cold if he does not take the fight. Maloney said: "If I was still representing David, being a young fighter I would have cashed in a bit quicker and made him busier. "He's a breath of fresh air for the heavyweight division and the media like him. "But sometimes when you stay out of sight you get forgotten a bit. "You can't fault what he's done. No one expected him to win the world heavyweight title and he's made one defence. "Three fights a year is good for a heavyweight. That's what we aimed for with Lennox Lewis. "But it's also about staying in the public eye. If I was David I'd be banging the drum and making sure I was in the papers for the right reasons. "I'm not saying he's lazy but a champion has to be visible and talk up the sport."
