David Haye 10th December

[MarkMcBurney]

People do realize Briggs is a 1 round fighter, 45 years old and shot to poo?

I don't think they do.....

He actually proved he can fight 12 as well recently.

Define recently? He last 'went the distance' over 2yrs ago. A long time for a 45-year-old.

And wasn't that Zumbano Love!?

Yep.

[Dixonian]

Correct.

Does Briggs do Chisora then?

Easy, actually, current Briggs would probably win against any of the boxers Haye ever fought right now. Klitschko being the only doubtful one. Haye never really accepted a fight he hasn't pretty much won beforehand.

Nah. Chisora would outplod him.

Yep.

Exactly, losing by 120-106 on most scorecards, something barely any heavyweight manages to do in a 12 round fight.

The very fact it went to the scorecards at all shows how poor Briggs is for any ranked heavyweight. Face it, the guy is done.

That was exactly the tactic of Zumbano Love? Even Zumbano Love himself said Briggs was probably the hardest hitter he has ever faced.

The exclusive and inaugural 'Dave TV' belt?

The WBO welcome mat might have D. HAYE written on it.

WBO president Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel has told ESPN boxing writer Dan Rafael that the organisation may set up a 4 man box-off for the vacant title involving the 4 leading available contenders.

That would have fights involving No 1 Parker (21-0, 18 KOs), No 2 Klitschko (64-4, 54 KOs), No 3 Ruiz (29-0, 19 KOs) and No 4 David Haye (28-2, 26 KOs).

Not a chance Klit will fight an eliminator

Zumbano Love is a great name.

Alan Smith, Daniel Jones, David Roberts.... or Zumbano Love...

As expected, Daffy is after a big payday without any risk, Briggs is after a good fight and good opponent and doesn't care about money.


Whoever Daffy his next opponent is, he should feel ashamed.

According to Haye Briggs only wants the fight on PPV. He said he'd happily fight him on 'Dave' but Briggs doesn't want it as not enough money and no chance they could get a PPV deal. He has said once he wins a title he will fight Briggs on PPV.

The relief from hearing he won't be fighting Briggs to the horror of hearing they want to make it PPV in the future. I seriously would rather see him smash Boomer.

Total guess work but he has to be trying to sort something out with the WBO, whether that is the 4 man tournament (God knows who the forth fighter would be, they aren't going to put Hughie in with him, but Haye v Miller would work) or trying to jump straight in with Parker if Ruiz isn't available until next year. Aj and Wlad have two routes sown up and Haye has burnt his bridges with the WBC

No, but that leaves the door open for Haye though

[freddydoesdallas]

So do we have any word on this yet?

[PredatorHayds]

Chisora is far better than Briggs.

And Briggs only motivation to still be boxing is £££.

Quite possible Haye fights Wlad for the vacant WBA on Wlads already pencilled in German date.

[stujones]

the #andthenew hashtag is very interesting.

My prediction for this is - Haye vs Browne for vacant WBA world title.

Haye and Oquendo are big pals. Oquendo will have taken some step aside money to push Haye in. Look at the WBA rankings.

Ortiz has the Interim bauble and is currently fighting Scott.

Klitchsko vs Joshua for the Super title (the winner will be a "proper" super champion going by WBA rules).

Ustinov had two fights with Ortiz not go through.

Haye is ranked right behind Browne, the only obstacle for this not being for the WBA title is Ustinov and Oquendo.... we might see Ustinov slip the rankings due to his negotiation breakdown with Ortiz and Oquendo probably has taken step aside money.

One side story, Briggs said Haye lies and he can actually be proven right

Sorry but that's bollocks. Money is the main motivating factor for him at this point.

I'm hoping it's Mike Hookem, but as another poster quite rightly reminded me, Hookem would be too dangerous for Haye, because he might actually hit David back!

If Uncle Nigel won't allow Hookem to indulge in anymore punchups, I'd like to see Haye fight someone that isn't clinically dead!

The WBO have their annual conference in Puerto Rico next week and are expected to discuss it then.

[emallini]

Briggs wanted 2 million dollars. He's lost his mind.
