Is Haye still injured really?

Post by TheCobra »

Here's my big worry with David Haye.

He's conned us along with his last 2 fights, fighting pub level fighters and blasting them out doubly quick.

Is his shoulder actually fully better or is he conning a career out of us?

Just wondering if we're gona see actually Bellew stand up to his shots for a couple of rounds then David Haye embarassingly retire with a pulled shoulder or something.

Of course it would be a dreadful, horrible thing for the sport if this does happen. Another PPV disaster for Sky. I've just got a funny feeling it might, after all this, be Haye who's actually doing the conning here. It wouldn't be his first time.

How has he conned us though, yes, he fought nobodies, but it's not like we had to pay £20? it was on Dave. Anyone that bought tickets must just be his hardcore and casual fans..

This is how i see it,Haye hasn't had a real fight for close to 5 years,he was away from the sport for 3.5 years and then came back with 2 easy knock over wins,meanwhile Bellew has been fighting,had a couple of tough ones but got the wins and won a world title along the way.We all know Haye can bang but will the inactivity be his downfall,has any other heavyweight who has been so inactive gone on to do anything ?.He could be hoping for an easy win and then cash out in a big heavyweight title fight,personally i think the time could be right for an upset.

Watching the fella move about and his general demeanour I'd like to think he is back to full speed and deadly serious about regaining a world title. He does get some right stick and sometimes it's been deserved, but no denying a fully fit David Haye is a dangerous heavy.

The public wants what the public gets mate.

I guess that a significant number of the 10,000 got exactly what they paid for - David Haye blitzing somebody out, the fact that the more serious boxing fan sees it as something else is another issue.

Foreman done it after a 10year lay off at a,similar age. Went on to win a world title again

He did but he had a load of fights on his comeback prior to winning the title

Foreman was also an ATG heavyweight possessed of an incredible chin and formidable stamina and punchpower for a man of his age.

Foreman took some serious licks on the comeback trail before he won.

That's my point really,Haye hasn't taken a punch in years,even Chisora didn't catch him with anything worth taking about,so can he still take it ?,answer is,we don't know.

I doubt Haye will win a World title at a similar age to Foreman.

I doubt Haye will win a World title at a similar age to Foreman.
He came back at a,similar age. I think hate will win a version of a world title next year. Most likely the WBA regular world super planet version

Haye never had the best chin anyway; at heavyweight he kind of has to avoid taking any serious shots, otherwise it's lights out.

I think if Haye were especially chinny at heavyweight then Wlad would have got him out of there with something. He stood up to a few solid whacks.

Not sure about this shoulder theory either. Regardless of the opposition, has Haye really looked like someone with an underlying issue this year while letting go with two fisted attacks?

More fool them for paying out to watch him feast on rotting corpses.

Cobblers.

There are plenty of heavyweights who can take a serious dig from their opponents without going over.

Has Haye ever taken a single flush power shot from a heavyweight opponent, because I can't think of one.

The con to me was their records. Pick low level guys with good paper records who have fought in clubs, gyms, back gardens etc. Con the public with unbeaten records and high KO %.
