By Sam Jaegerson: On September 28th the eagerly anticipated heavyweight showdown between WBO #3 David Haye and WBO #5 Tyson Fury takes place at the Manchester Arena. This is the most anticipated Heavyweight showdown on British shores since David Haye stopped Dereck Chisora in a very entertaining fight last summer. Firstly I would like to credit Tyson Fury for taking this fight. There are many unnamed up and coming Heavyweights currently plying their trade who wouldn’t dare take such a risk. Sadly for Tyson I believe this is a risk that won’t pay off.
Looking at David Haye’s record it is hugely impressive. A former unified Cruiserweight Champion and a former WBA Heavyweight Champion it is easy to see why the bookmakers are making him the heavy favorite. But what makes David Haye such a heavy favorite, after all this is Heavyweight boxing where anything can happen, just ask Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson and Wladimir Klitschko who all suffered shock KO defeats in their illustrious careers. You must also acknowledge he is going against a fighter who has stopped 15 of his 21 opponents.

Much like a disease Mayweather adapts perfectly to his surroundings, breaks you down and once he finds your weaknesses takes full advantage. The problem for the boxing world, much like a disease every time you think you have a cure for Mayweather, he evolves. In the build-up to last nights super fight Oscar De la Hoya constantly bombarded us with the word blueprint.
Before you read this article I want it to be known that I am a huge fan of Amir Khan. The excitement his fights bring have been unmatched on these shores since Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton, whether you watch his fights to see his lightning speed paralyze yet another opponent or you tune in to see him suffer yet another devastating loss, no one can question Amir is pure entertainment.
