Ishe Smith is back to share some thoughts on the sport. Ishe's just one of those guys I like. Gives everyone a tough fight in the ring, and out of it, he's humble, he's honest, and he clearly puts thought into the things he says, and truly cares about and still enjoys the sport of boxing. Here he weighs in on, among other things, Sergiy Dzinziruk, Shawn Porter, Alfredo Angulo, Kendall Holt, and Omar Henry, for whom he has some choice words.

Tyson documentary reminds boxing of what it's missing (Los Angeles Times)
Last night ESPN aired a documentary on the night of the Tyson-Seldon fight in 1996, and a cab driver bemoaned the lack of big-money criminals in Vegas for big boxing fights nowadays. Also Mike Tyson wishes he'd gotten to smoke weed with Tupac Shakur, who was fatally shot after the fight. It's fun for everyone.

Haye continues to go down in my estimations.If he isn’t ducking and dodging,he’s coming out with immature,insensitive,offensive crap like that.What….a….tool!
I’m really not sure who i dislike more now,him or Fraudley Harriott and it would be so funny(to me at least) if the big dope knocked the slightly smaller,yet even smugger one out. :)
And Haye would have only himself to blame for avoiding the Klits.
How would he ever hope to get a fight with them then?
I would love to see the look on him and Andy Booth’s face if/when Audrey drops him for the 10 count.
Mwyahahhahahahaha!

I’ve heard someone else say the same thing about the possibility of Audley winning and how they would love that, and I controlled myself….but I know you’re from the UK, so you must have seen all of Audley, from the start of his pro career on the BBC to now.
We all know the man is a fraud. He is a great talker, and that is it…and even in the last few years that talk has stopped being funny and is generally viewed as delusional. He’s honestly not even got a puncher’s chance. He’s going to talk that up to boost interest, and then he’s going to go right into his timid shell on fight night, paw away with that jab, and just try and make sure he’s not knocked out.
Everyone’s seen him fight heaps. Everyone’s seen him be timid and look just plain scared to fight. And this was years and years ago (I’ll personally never forget my WTF?? disgust). The desperation that came through against Sprott might only happen in the last round, if it happens at all. he’s the sort of guy that’ll raise his hands at the end, thinking somehow he won when he lost every single round.

Haye: “What else have you got? What, your concussive jab?”
And I agree 100%. Harrison is, sadly, ranked in my heavyweight top 25 (I keep top 25s off the site — I’m that big of a dork), but there’s a big gulf between the top few and the rest of the field. Hell, Holyfield’s in my top 20. But Harrison is nothing more than a mouth. His professional career has been arguably the biggest bust of the era.

I think you are right in your assessment and I’m pretty sure it won’t happen myself but i can dream can’t i? :)
I’ve never liked Audley for obvious reasons but as i said Haye is really starting to turn me against him too,with all his big talk and little action.
In jest i was speaking but i certainly wouldn’t mind seeing it happen.
A double KO,like the Paul Samuels fight is probably the best result as far as i’m concerned. :)
I thought the back and forth with Audley was quite funny actually
Over the top simile’s are just that. he could have said it would be as one sided as a one sided fight, but then… where would the fun or interest be in that. I like that Haye chats a lot. Its good for the division (although him fighting a Klitchko would be even better).
It wasn’t directed at a “rape victim,” and its being quite sensitive to take a quote out of its context and think of it as a specific “insult” in my opinion.

It is a stupid thing to say and fairly cringe-worthy. I think he’s funny enough that he doesn’t really need to go to a line like that. I don’t think he has some vendetta against victims of rape and I’m sure he doesn’t find rape funny, but it’s still a stupid thing to say.

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Its stupid, yes, but i don't see it as something for 'groups' to get angry over
These kind of objections generally annoy me, as you know how they start. It gets noticed by someone reading the quote, the article/video gets forwarded to as the article termed it ’women’s groups’ and so the cycle of anger/re-posting of the quote begins.
Which then gets re-ported as above by the Telegraph as: “David Haye angers rape victims with slur”, and in a day or two he’ll need to apologize and say he didn’t mean any offense when really, its a given. 95% of people (I don’t know percentages, I’m just guessing) are against rape (5% maybe would be the perpetrators of rape worldwide etc), and Haye shouldn’t have to come out and say it, for fear of offending. People just get way too oversensitive in our media age, where ever quote gets heared and regurgitated and forwarded to a special interest group to be “outraged”.
In any case, rape is bad, Haye is stupid, this fight is dumb, the back and forth with Audley was funny, please Haye fight Vitali or Wlad.

Agree (Quest)
Its stupid, yes, but i don’t see it as something for ‘groups’ to get angry over
The over-reaction may be pumped up by the reasonable reaction to MoneyMay—sort of an overfow of irritation, an overflow reaction further generated by everyone’s real disgust with this guy for not standing up and fighting Klitschko. PBF’s rant was really ugly, and was really racist—this is just a trash-talking crude figure of speech, not even really aimed at women—it’s aimed at Harrison. I found Berto’s misstep when the Valero suicide was announced, which I believe he retracted, far more disquieting for what it said about his attitude than I do this
A Weakening of Reality
And I guess it bothers me, the overreaction—because in a way it puts Haye’s simply crude remark in the same class as MoneyMay’s ghastly rant, which to me—sort of back-formation elevates MoneyMay’s rant. I guess I’d put it like this—if you can say it into your cell phone at midnight on Monday at the 24/7 store downtown while paying a small female counter girl without her wondering if she’s in danger, it’s probably ok—I think listening to Floyd, if one were alone in those circumstances, would be really nerve-wracking—this other guy would just be a schmuz talking trash on his phone.
In any case, rape is bad, Haye is stupid, this fight is dumb, the back and forth with Audley was funny, please Haye fight Vitali or Wlad.
Preeeeecisely.

yes

I agree
Haye has one of the most annoying smiles in boxing and i just hope the Klits get a chance to wipe it of his face.
Like some i actually give him a fair chance of beating either of them but they obviously deserve to be the favourites.
What i think doesn’t really matter in this case though,what matters is Haye seriously trying to make a fight with either bro next year some time,should he get past Hardly Harrison,and backing up his mouth for once.
Does anybody believe Wladimir Klitschko will come out hard and secure an early victory?
It would be interesting to see, especially against a guy who dropped him 3 times in their first fight.
