Why does Haye use all these Psychological Ploys?

haye-val3By Scott Gilfoid: Every time I hear about David Haye, it’s usually involving him using one kind of psychological ploy or another against his opponents. With Wladimir Klitschko, it was a t-shirt showing the decapitated heads of Wladimir and his brother Vitali Klitschko. In the case of World Boxing Association heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev, Haye has reported to having people pretending to be Valuev wearing ugly masks. Haye has criticized Valuev’s physical looks constantly hoping to get an edge. But what I don’t understand is why Haye discusses openly what he’s doing in terms of his psychological games.

Haye thinks he’s going to get American Support – News

haye5337By Scott Gilfoid: British heavyweight David Haye looks to be a little misguided about his perceptions about American boxing fans when it comes to himself. Haye seems to think that he’s well liked in the United States by boxing fans for some reason.

Haye Needs to Play it Safe against Valuev

valuev1234By Sean McDaniel: Heavyweight David Haye has made it known that he intends on trying to take out WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev this Saturday night in Germany. That sounds really good in terms of promoting the fight and getting boxing fans excited about wanting to tune in and watch it. However, I really hope for Haye’s sake that he doesn’t actually intend on trying to take Valuev out because I think Haye’s chin is too brittle to take a big shot from the huge 7-foot Russian.

Haye: “I’m as freakishly fast as Valuev is freakishly big”

haye53550By Dave Lahr: Heavyweight David Haye (22-1, 21 KO’s) may just be whistling past the graveyard as he continues to brag and self promote about his abilities as he approaches this Saturday night’s fight against WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev (50-1, 34 KO’s). As confident as ever, Haye says “I’m as freakishly fast as Valuev is freakishly big.” Haye is fast, but he’s not nearly as fast as he was as a cruiserweight. Haye may not be aware of it, but he’s slowed down quite a bit in moving up to the heavyweight division and the more weight that he packs on the slower he’ll be.

Haye-Valuev: Can David Keep The Pace To Get A Decision?

val7By Julie Wells: This is my first article and first of all I’d like to talk about next weekend’s heavyweight showdown between David Haye and 7ft 2in giant Nikolay Valuev. David Haye has done all the talking but now it’s time to do the work. First of all, Haye has a huge disadvantage in size and it will be hard to get his punches on Valuev’s chin without taking a clubber on the jaw.
