Is Harrison going to end Haye’s career?
September 8th, 2010
By William Mackay: World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s) mentioned wanting to end Audley Harrison’s (27-4, 20 KO’s) career when they meet up on November 13th, saying “I’m going to close the curtain on the joke that is Audley Harrison show…I can assure them this will be the last time they ever see him in a boxing ring.” But instead of the 38-year-old Harrison facing a retirement decision, it could be the 29-year-old Haye that may need to contemplate retirement if he gets knocked out by Harrison.
I suppose Haye has a rematch clause with Harrison, but he’d still have to face a big question about whether he should continue on with his boxing career, especially if Harrison knocks out badly, like the way that Ricky Hatton was knocked out by Manny Pacquiao last year. Haye isn’t a big heavyweight, he doesn’t have a good chin, and he’s faced relatively light punchers at heavyweight thus far. Harrison will be a big step up for Haye in terms of power.
If Harrison lets his hands go and starts throwing left hand bombs, Haye might fold up quickly and get knocked out. Or he could start running and stinking up the joint like he did against Valuev. I just hope Haye wouldn’t come up the old “I hurt my hand” excuse to help explain away a poor performance. That only works so many times before people start to dismiss it.

Dan your exactly right, however valid and knowledgeable your opinion, the chances are that if it makes Scott or William look even sillier or even more biased then it won’t get on
IT LOOKS TO ME THAT HAYE IS DOING A GOOD JOB OF STIRING THINGS UP.A hater is a fan in reverse but a fan none the less.As to Haye getting beat so what! He will just take his act back to crusier weight where no one seems able to beat him.If he wins this fight he will go after one of the k brothers .He will make millions and retire with a big smug smile.
…..@…PBL…..I appreciate you dude, thanks for your service and sacrifice, please stay safe…….Thanks from USA
….2…PBL….I HAVE ALOT OF RESPECT FOR YOU.
NOOOOO CHANCE!!!!
HAYE BY MASSACARE!
I have no respect for Haye in taking this fight, he is a disgrace to boxing.
I hope somehow, Fraudley manages to land some sweet punch on Hayes questiionable chin for a KO..
As much as I HATE Harrison and as much as I DISRESPECT Haye for making this fight, it would be good to see Haye somehow get his ass handed to him
William Mackay LMAO. There’s a reason Harrison is known as Fraudley and A-Farce. Hes a B level fighter at best. He has small punchers chance against Haye.
This fight is being laughed at by all British fight fans because of how uncompetitive it is.
If Haye were to lose he’d commit suicide because of the humiliation of losing to Fraudley Harrison.
Gauranteed: Haye will not retire @ 30. Get used to it, believe it, know it, learn to love it.
Also: If he faces either Klitschko, he will be executed.
No, Harrison won’t end Haye’s career!
A pointless article for a pointless fight, wow…?, just pointless!
The answer to the article is NO as usual.
lol how about that for being told, great post PBL!
Haye is a moron for doing this.
I hope he gets beat now so we can laugh him out of boxing
Why do people think Haye can take on the K bros? He aint shown us anything yet and he is not likely to. Do not be fooled by Hayes mouth, he is just a bussiness man and he has no intention of fighting either bro. David Haye will only ever be a paper champion and will never even fight Ademek, Povetin or Ruslan etc. he is a fake!
personally I wanna see david do the klits… he will fight them or at least one of them no doubt…this is just a warm up I bet…if he doesnt I will lose respect for him… I dont really want this as a fight but it will be good to see harrison’s career ended
pps… your guys are only good at ‘friendly fire’… you seem to be pretty good at killing your own
Have u even say Haye or Fraudley fight Mackay you stupid arse?? If you have why do u even ask such stupid questions?? Fraudley got taken apart by a taxi driver not long ago. Now f**k off and die u d**k of a writer
Ah yes, the top three pro sports. Would that be the sports that America are the only country in the world that play?
lol the Klitschko’s haven’t done so badly in Europe. A hell of a lot better than most people anyway. Oh, also, Europe has 14 World Champions and the USA has 6. USA is a capitalist nightmare of a country where only fake people can survive. God damn I hate America!!!!!!!
Just to total I live in Malibu do one u jerk no one cares I live in Malibu is that all u can say
Hey dudes I don’t care dudes, I live in Malibu you know. Hey, I’m so glad I don’t live in Britain, they’re all cowards you know. And nobody cares about their boxers, that’s why I spend hours on hours posting comments about them, because I don’t care. And prince chuck lives in England too. And everyone knows if I mention him people will respond to
Me cos everyone in Britain loves the royals don’t you know. And by they, did I mention I live in Malibu? Dudes?
I simply don’t understand why anyone is interested in this fight, let alone, hyping up Harrisons chances. He is a bum. Always has been and will retire as that.
The least people could do is try and give a little patriotic support to one of the few World Champs we have, regardless of whether he is like or not…..I happen to think he’s a bit of a tit.
No hard on for Haye, he is a turn off.
The days of americans fighting and robbing hand picked brit/euopean opponents r over.ur population may be greater but im afraid thats all maybe use can call the american title the world title cause use r gd at that.idiots.
Haye said this fight would be more one-sided than a Gang Rape!
What an idiotic comment from a man with little intellegence, just for that I hope Fraudley beats the chit out of him. Pre hype fight, trash talk I’m all for it but lets keep the gang raping of a person out of it.
haye is an idiot, he’s avoiding the klitchkos at all costs. Why does he fight a ‘bum’ like harrison? haye wants the higher split with the klitchkos, but does he deserve it……..NO! klitchkos agreed to a 50/50 split but haye said no. a 50/50 is the fair deal. although im a fan of haye, one side of me wants him to get sparked!
YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats what this fight will be.
haye is a joke he totally sucks!!!!!!!!
This article is total nonsense!
Fraudley A-Farce Harrison to beat David Haye………not in this lifetime!
I don’t understand where people get the evidence from when claiming that Haye has a weak chin, Never been knocked out, Only been on the floor twice and one of those was because he was off balance.
Enzo Maccarinelli has a huge punch but Haye distroyed him and the same will happen to Fraudley on November 13th.
Haye is just a totally different league to Harrison… Everybody knows this.. I’m not even sure Harrison is domestic level, nevermind world level!!?
However, for some strange reason, I’m looking forward to watching the fight…? Harrison is such a total twat.. He really is..
If anyone thinks harrison has ANY CHANCE in this fight, you must now sweet fa about boxing. If he lands a lottery punch and i mean you would more likely win the lottery than see haye knocked out by this joker.
DAVID HAYE SHOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN CONTEMPLATED FIGHTING AUDLEY HARRISON, THERE ARE FAR FAR BETTER FIGHTERS OUT THERE, DAVID HAYE HAS LOST MY REPECT FOR TAKING THIS FIGHT..
AND FOR THAT I REALLY DO HOPE AUDLEY HARRISON KTFO OF HAYE!
To all the pessimists out there, this is a fight! Regardless of its substance…this does capture the imagination in an unrelenting, abysmal era of poor contention amongst the heavyweight division…ever! Granted…not many will really care about the outcome, but how the outcome will reach its conclusion does bring about an air of intrigue for both pugilists and fight public alike. I neither like or loathe either fighter (and that’s because I’m not prepared to invest any of my sporting emotions in a couple of guys who debatably just happen to be the best of a bad bunch), but the possibilities of the fight potential and its consequences do qualify for pastime discussion.
David Haye, still has alot to prove if he is ever going to make it to THE mountain top…at the moment he is just king of the hill…and in short he needs to concentrate more on the job in hand if he is ever going to achieve this objective…stating his retirement plans when all he is, is a ‘johnny come lately’ sounds like the smash and grab tactics Harrison has been trying to get away with all these years, and look where it has got him…however this time he may just do it. But I’m fed up of his relentless drabble! He’s turned out to be nothing more than a storm in a tea-cup…but after all of his efforts, I wouldn’t begrudge him a decent payday that would see him on his way into the nether regions of boxing antiquity, which is where he’s best suited.
If David wins, his march continues…if he loses, he’ll be where Audley is right now and will still have time on his side to continue milking from the famine riddled state of heavyweight boxing…if Audley wins, he’ll probably make ‘Haye’ where the sun isn’t shining and discreetly put afew coffers away for his imminent and looming retirement plans…and who would blame him really…but if he loses…well…there’s always wrestling to consider…he’s pretty much managed his road show for most of his career, why not just declare it as the circus act that it has always been…believe me…people will come. That said, I’ll be there on the night…for the entertainment aspect of it all, and a good laugh!
Haye’s legacy would be dragged through the shart if Harrison beat him. It’s always a danger when fighting a much larger guy and a southpaw at that. This writer is a chump by the way. Haye beat Valuev by playing it smart. he’s a small heavyweight and Valuev is the largest ever. Haye did what no one else had ever done, staggered the man and almost knocked him out. Whatever Haye has done at heavyweight is not the mark of his talent. Haye will always be a cruiserweight fighting at heavyweight. As a cruiserweight, he was unrivalled.
let us judge david haye this time next year. If after this huge pay day (which i don’t blame him for taking) he again goes after the klitschko boys and fights them both, we should have huge respect for him, win or lose. But if he follows up what should be an easy win against harrison with a couple more money spinners against non entities, then he should rightly be ridiculed as a coward and a money grabber.
this is a big no no for david as its a no win fight, Audley for all his fault and he has a quite a few , does have a heavy left hand that would knock out any heavy weight if and a big if it lands on the right spot.
As always David is in this for the money not the glory of being the best , let me ask a question is this the poorest era in heavy weight boxing ever
his hand was actually broke. youtube it. his hand was swollen up to the size of a football
This is a terrible fight that Haye has arranged that will harm his legacy whatever happens in the future. Firstly, let me remind you all that it was Haye’s own team who said that a potential fight with Harrison would be a joke, yet here we are. He came into the HW division promising glamour and excitement, yet thinks serving this up is excitement?
Secondly, I havn’t heard anyone begging Haye to KO Harrison, where are all these fans he mentioned? They certainly arn’t on ANY boxing forums I have seen. And to top it all, this is a no win fight for Haye. Even if he KO’ed Harrison in round 1, so what? Is ANYONE going to be impressed? But if it went the distance, he wont be able to live it down, and it certainly wont help his standing in the division. And lets not even think what would happen if he lost…
Do certain writers for this site have a huge secret hard-on for Haye?
