Hey David, Beat Klitschko and Then We're Talking!

Sorry to pour water on the fire but am I the only sports fan unexcited by what David Haye did to Audley Harrison on Saturday night?

Harrison, as we all feared, proved to be a complete joke in the ring, a man who produced one punch before being stopped in the third round by Haye. And Haye? Well, what exactly did he prove? Apart from some ill-advised comments about gang rape before the fight, all he managed to do was knock a man out who has achieved next to nothing since winning the Olympic gold heavyweight medal back in 2000.

There are many good things to say about Haye, but the trash talk is not classy, and neither are the quality of his opponents. Beating the Russian giant Valuev was not the greatest of achievements, and neither was knocking over Harrison.

What would be a feat would be to beat Wladimir Klitschko, the best heavyweight in the world. Haye begs to differ and, depending on who you believe he is trying or not trying too hard to get it on with Klitschko junior.

As far as I am concerned Haye needs to win this fight before we can start to take him, or boxing, too seriously.
