How do boxers like David Haye and Andre Berto get no attention?
Did Roy Jones ruin the allure people have to fast and powerful punchers? In both cases, the boxers I just names are champions, AUTHORITIVELY have beaten most of their opponents, and are at the brink of major turning points in their career...David Haye cleaning out his division and vowing to do the same in the heavyweights after relinquishing belts to do so. Berto about to lock horns with some of the great welterweights of our time.
So, how come we aint talking about them??
My comparison is in the styles, not the quality of fighters. And although Berto is still a prospect (with a belt), I would hardly call either of them bums. The style is harder hitting, faster, flashy combos similar to RJJ. I grant you, there is no other RJJ, what I am asking is how these two fighters, that with their styles that are exciting, and their results that are usually final (knockouts), are not getting the same exposure RJJ did at this point in the game.

David Haye has yet to be truly tested.. Although he possesses unlimited talent and is exciting in the ring, he has yet to become a house-hold name, particularly in the heavy-weight decision, which he claims he will clean-up.. Meanwhile, Berto is extremely talented and young but he is clearly in a highly competitive division. He'll have to prove himself a bit more before he gets his just due. And while just being newly crowned champion and so young, he'll need to gain some charisma as well..His time will soon come. He's right on track!..I salute him.

How can you say Roy Jones and Andre Berto/David Haye in the same .. paragraph? To his credit, Haye has cleaned out his division and is now stepping to new territory, however- Berto is still a prospect and I don't see how you draw a connect from him to Roy Jones at this stage.

David Haye once he has a couple of fights will get the boxing world in his palm but andre berto is not the real deal. His stance is way to wide as are the positioning of his arms and hands. He'll get destroyed once he fights the big names but david haye will be massive in 12months time, just watch!

Relax, give them time to have their signature fights. the best fights are ahead of them and then we'll see how they match up.
