Haye vs. Valuev
Froch Sees Haye Knocking Valuev Out – News
By Chris Williams: WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch is predicting a knockout victory for fellow Brit David Haye when he goes up against World Boxing Association heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev on November 7th in Germany. However, this prediction is actually compared to that of the previous ones that Froch has made involving Haye in which Froch predicted that Haye would beat Wladimir Klitschko. “Valuev’s going to get knocked the spark out,’ Froch said in an interview in The Sun. “The ring might collapse when he falls over!”
Where Does Haye Go If He Loses to Valuev?
By Chris Williams: David Haye (22-1, 21 KO’s) has got to be the most confident – read: cocky – fighter I’ve seen in the heavyweight division since Muhammed Ali fought. Haye is so confident that it borders on a fighter with delusions of grandeur. He really believes he’s the guy in the heavyweight division or at least he gives the impression that he is. My question is what does Haye do if things don’t turn out to be like he thinks they are and he ends up getting knocked out by the huge Russian giant? What does Haye do with his career? Getting beaten by Valuev would be almost certainly the end for Haye as a marketable heavyweight fighter.
Are Boxers Getting title Shots Without Working for Them?
By Stuart Gant: I am and have been for a long time a huge boxing fan, enjoying not only the big boxing matches but also the lower level bouts, however even I can’t avoid the issue of certain boxers getting title shots or big bouts when many would say they didn’t deserve it.
There are many examples of this but one I would definitely use would be the British newly crowned WBA light-welterweight champion, Amir Khan.

Haye May Have Burned his Bridges With the Klitschko Brothers – Boxing
By Chris Williams: David Haye feels like he made the right decision by dropping out of negotiations with World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitscko the other day and opting for a fight against WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev on November 7th.
