Haye: I’ve never been in better condition
June 25th, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-1, 23 KO’s) says he’s in the peak condition of his life for his bout against IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko on July 2nd.
That’s a relief that Haye is talking about how good he feels, because at least we can exclude those areas as potential excuses for him if he ends up getting knocked out or dominated by Wladimir. What we don’t want is Haye to have excuses for a loss and not own up to the fact that he simply wasn’t good enough to beat Wladimir. Making excuses is pretty lame, and it’s hard to respect a fighter when they start letting them fly at the drop of a hat after they’ve been totally schooled.
I don’t doubt that Haye is in the best shape of his life. Fear is a good tool to help one get in good condition. But that won’t help Haye much. This isn’t a body building competition, it’s a fight. And if it was a bodybuilding competition Haye would still lose. Wladimir’s better than Haye no matter what the British does. He can gain weight, he can lose weight, he can have the best sparring partners or he can pray, it won’t matter. Wladimir is simply the bigger and superior fighter of the two. We’ll see that on July 2nd when Haye starts running after he gets tagged a few times. It’s going to be like watching a big cat chase down a scared mouse. Wladimir is going to have to chase Haye around before putting him out of his misery.

come on guys i can only see on winnder = Haye if haye was fight the older borther then i would say haye loses
Good for him, in 6 more days he will be Ko’d but he will be in good shape ha ha ha ha.
Wladimir will destroy him in the 12th round and give him a Pepperoni Pizza to Go, Get it to go ha ha ha
Mike, Annonymous, 4×2, Bearcat, The Prophet. All the fairy club is gonna get on line and get into a slap fight with Volod individually. This way you guys can really show your stuff!
has anybody ever asked, heavyweight has never been this boring?
This tells the differences between a good man (Klitzchko) and a bad man (Haye).
Haroon, excellent comments. Rounded and balanced with an obvious love and knowledge of the beautiful sport.
I and I, what do you really know about boxing? Not a lot I would wager, also on what basis do you say that Haye has poor cardiovascular capacity?
I have been ringside for many Haye fights and he is always in excellent condition. His only loss (for which I was also ringside) came against a warrior in Carl Thompson when I believe Haye had only ten or so fights on his record? He gambled, as he does and it didnt pay off. Let me tell you that the thousands in attendance at Wembley Arena that night didnt think so. It was an amazing fight, Hayes corner doing the right thing for their young and inexperienced fighter.
I will never understand why people who claim to be boxing fans will use sites such as this to slag fighters off, all of us ex fighters know that you never do that if you have climbed through those ropes yourself.
Ultimately we are all excited by the heavyweight division again for one reason- David Haye!!!!!!!!!!
HAYEMAKER THE SAVIOUR OF THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is there another big t, albeit with a small T. Ive been commenting on this site for years, now i come back and there is a duplicate!!
Only kidding there is room enough for two. Also Big t two i agree with your comment. Haye will not only look fantastic but will be in fantastic shape. Even as an ex fighter and a Brit I doubt whether Haye will ever have 12 round stamina but I dont think he is planning on that. He will move and be evasive, only being offensive when he knows he will land. As an ex fighter I appreciate both these guys, I want Haye to win for sure but just hope its a hell of a fight as well.
HAYEMAKER SAVIOUR OF THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION!!!!!!!!!!
Scott your a c*^t.
Haroon
Are you judging this fight on Hayes physical appearance or on haye’s boxing short comings? You say conditioning can you define what you mean by the word conditioning? Haye has a very poor conditioning if you ask me and have a very poor cardio and that why he comes out try and end a fight quickly and he reminds me of tyson because tyson had a poor cardio too so he used his power to end fights really quickly and tsyon only had two UD wins in his career over tony tucker and bone crusher smith.
what did haye think he would achieve buy doing that game where vlads head come off . he should keep his mouth shut he is going to look such a tool if he dont pull this off why would you give your self all this pressure then again he will be able to retire on this money i will get my 20 p news paper to see it .
@jackson
Agree with you. Haye always looks like 5-6 rounds is max for his stamina. What’s more interesting he keeps talking all the time but when he faced Klit on the conference he suddenly got very silent with excuses he rather concentrates on training then talking. But as we can see every day some trash news are coming from him. As an opposite I cannot see too much talk from Vlad’s camp. I presume Klit is going to be really prepared…
@Jackson
I totally agree, physical appearance has nothing to do with conditioning these writers are a joke!!.
haye is always puffing and looks like he is abouit to collapse after 6 rounds…do you mean by conditioning that he looks good? byrd, by the way, beat tua in his prime by moving, ducking and constantly making him miss. byrd wasnt in shape? i dont remember many of the great having muscular bodies—how dumb do you hayites get? appearance has nothing to with with talent or cardiovascular conditioning. you guys just dont get tired of repeating stupid things haye says. chagaev was in good enough shape to actually engage valuev instead of throwing 12 punches a round–didnt vlad fight him? holmes didnt have a great body, but haye wouldnt last 5 rounds with him. try thinking, i know it hurts. but try.
This wont be an easy fight for Haye but i believe he wont get caught up in Wlad`s tactics like all the others.Haye and Booth know what to do to take his jab off him and when Haye touches his chin..Game Over..Come on Haye..its about time the world had a heavyweight champion thats more exciting to watch than watching paint dry!
Scot doesnt give a flying what he writes but seeing all these posts, all these folk calling him names gives the guy a hard on and probaly is the only way he can get one ?
Gilfoid would be better off writing fairy tales!
SCOTT G, You know your boxers really well. all these other so called writers are noting compared to you. Keep up the good work, do not let these BRITARDOS get you down. 50TH KO coming up soon.
does scott ever get it right??? I was sure wlad would win, but scott always gets it wrong. I really dont know now.
If hes in that good of condition Why doesnt he go into space! Next shuttle he can catch is a week after the fight.
scott you are a prize w@nker…
amature article from a novice writer.
Talk is cheap because we hear this everyday when a fighter says i am in the best shape of my life and still gets dominated. Have you mike seen the anderson silva v vitor belfort fight ? people said he would knock silva out due to his heavy hands but i kick and bang vitor was KO thats what Wlad would do to haye.
Gilfoid, you are a clueless cant.
I wish my name was Oates so I could go back into that bloody tent and make this knob go for a walk instead …..
Well… That means Haye wins comfortably then.
Just don’t comment on Gilfoid’s articles. They’re not worth the attention they receive.
scott u r a spaz, a retard, a cretin
How do these writers constantly get these articles full of envy published by the editor??????
We all know the culprits..McKay, Williams, Lhar & this imbocile!
Excuses, Scott you never own up a give a fighter credit when one of your stupid predictions goes wrong!
