With a rapid-fire delivery and a thick British accent, Haye spoke of sending "shockwaves around the world" when he would send the 7-foot Valuev "sprawling on the floor." He claimed that he was "as freakishly fast as Valuev is freakishly big" and promised that the punishment he'd deliver to Valuev in the ring would be "more one-sided than the Rodney King beating."Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:44:00 ESThttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/SPORT/11/08/boxing.heavyweight.haye.vitali.klitschko/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/SPORT/11/08/boxing.heavyweight.haye.vitali.klitschko/index.html#cnnSTCTextDavid Haye has set his sights on a fight with Vitali Klitschko after defeating Russian giant Nikolai Valuev to win the WBA heavyweight championship.Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:56:00 ESThttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/SPORT/09/27/boxing.klitschko.heavyweight.arroela/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/SPORT/09/27/boxing.klitschko.heavyweight.arroela/index.html#cnnSTCTextVitali Klitschko retained his WBC heavyweight title at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles with a convincing 10th round stoppage victory over Mexican-American Cristobal Arreola.Sun, 27 Sep 2009 11:42:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/chris_mannix/09/11/arreola.klitschko/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/chris_mannix/09/11/arreola.klitschko/index.htmlLOS ANGELES -- Mike Tyson was made of iron, Hasim Rahman was known as "The Rock."
