I predict that David Haye will become the greatest heavyweight champion in history!

[actjac]

Hahaha. . . .just joking to make fun of the still delusional British boxing fans who cannot let go of the idea that the con job of the David Haye career is a fraud and they cannot accept the fact.. . . .Next we will hear calls for a David Price vs David Haye fight to crown the most lovable loser in British sports history.

[Stuarty]

Had a career he can look back and be proud of but he's been shot to shít for ages now. His last good performance was Chisora donkeys years ago. He's not gonna make it to a ring again without falling apart!

[KiwiRider]

He was a very good cruiser.
No shame at his accomplishments at that weight

[man]

loud mouth who decided other things are
more important than boxing once he made
enough money to retire.

he was strong and exciting at cruiser, but in
the age if the super heavies he did not really
stand chance to compete up there. against
smaller contenders he was top notch and the
public spectacle that led to the chisora fight
and the fight itself tell you all you need to know
about david haye the fighter.

his style depended on reflexes and speed,
and these suffer from layoffs and age first.
so there is no shame in how things ended
for him.

all in all a valuable addition to the scene
even at heavy. i am happy vor every boxer
who can go out with his head still in tact and
enough money in the bank.

[candyslim]

Glad to see we haven't rid the forum of all dickheads. I wouldn't want to see it become boring.

[geronimo]

I never liked too much Haye as a boxer, but, no one can tell that he's a fraud, is a top ten cruiser of all time.

[Ilya Muromets]

Haye' fixed fights:

His two comeback fights were obvious dives.

The Valuev fight was a fixed decision "win"

The wink and nod dive by his buddy Harrison.

More disgusting Haye displays at heavyweight:

All sorts of crooked tricks against Barrett including having his hotel res cancelled so he couldn't sleep the night before. In house ref not calling knockdown. Inhouse everything. Like Las Vegas.

His pre fight behavior towards Wlad. He should have been arrested for assault or harrassment. Followed by his humiliating display during the so called fight when his knees turned to rubber, and then he took his shoe off...

Im probably leaving some off.

The endless pre Wlad fight baloney on these boxing boards - similar to the title of this thread - by all the little sycophants going on and on about how great he is and how he will destroy Wlad.

All his cancelled fights. All his real and phony injuries. He looks old. He's not aging well. His lifestyle is catching up with him. He said he's had sex with thousands of women AND men.

I'll be glad when I've heard the last of him.

A lot of people saw through Haye a long time ago, but EVERYONE sees through him now.

There might be calls for him to fight Price, or Haye Day III: The Return of Mark De Mori or some other crap bout he can put on in the O2, but fight fans won't ne buying it.

To be fair, there would be little or no need to pay Mark De Mori or Arnold Whathisname to take dives.

Two random fat blokes stumbling out of a pub half drunk could have beaten those two without breaking sweat.

Heck, i'd be proud of a boxing career like Haye's. He sold himself extremely well as his ability never ever lived up to the hype that he himself created and was paid for throughout his career. To me, that's pretty brilliant. He was also able to call himself a world champion in the process. He shouldn't have to worry about money if he was relatively smart with it. I imagine a logical next step would be ringside announcing with that same charisma would make a lot of people happy.

Honestly, I wish that the focus was more on Bellew's performance and how this kid' is finishing off his career. I hope that he doesn't retire yet because i'd love to see him in a few more big fights. Obviously the jump in weight after the loss to Adonis was huge.

"Sold himself really well", sold his character. Sounds like u r talking about a Vince McMahon wrestling show, which indeed boxing has come more and more to resemble rather than an honest sport.

Neither di Mori nor Gyergjaj were fat. Both were in good shape and both were way better than they pretended to be in those "jobs". Some guys posted vids on youtubes analyzing those two so called fights, the Harrison one too (which even made the front page of the british sporting press and not in a good way). Don't know if they're still up or if youtube and/or Haye's lawyers got them removed. Youtube loves to censor videos.

You're not really a boxing fan, are you

[Controversial]

I wonder why Hayes gone silent? Apart from his instagram post Sunday congratulating Bellew he's been very quiet. All I can assume from the delay is he isn't ready to call it quits yet.

Funnily enough a mate of mine was walking with his wife & baby in a park this morning & bumped into him. He sat there for photos with them.

I'm sure he has a lot of reflecting to do. Something that's been part of his life for 20+ years is over.

I kinda of get that but he retired before and even when he came back he said he only had 3-4 fights in him. Unless of course he really is completely broke.

I hear the broke rumours but he's made a few million in the last year, plus he earnt very well in his career.

He didn't actually retire before (I think). He just didn't fight for a few years (injuries & operations).

Hopefully he will now. I always thought he'd do well in movies. If Vinnie Jones can do it

Yes you maybe right, I thought he actually retired. Even so he only had a limited time left in the sport, he was the first to admit that, if he can't immediately retire after two stoppage defeats (when he said he would) then I can only assume he needs the money. It must be a bitter pill to swallow losing to Bellew twice after everything thats been said. To top it all Bellew even appeared in a Hollywood blockbuster which must stick in his throat all the more.

[HeavyHitters]

Yes, Haye was a bit of a "clown show", that somehow gained a heavyweight title. I never did like him much, but I do wish I had his money!!

I credit anyone that doesn’t have to work their ass off for a living every day like me. They are
Performers and Prize Fighters first and those that dont realize that never make the kind of jank that they could have.

it is a professional sport, thus it is a
spectacle financed by the paying
crowd. demanding from fighters
not to sell themselves well is, well,
weird, especially if you are part of
that very paying crowd.

i thought david took it too far with
the heads of thing, but then again,
i am willing to watch two men to
fight for my amusement, so here
goes my moral high ground.

Legitimate sports don't have endless fancy ring entrances with fireworks and masks and WWE-style "pressers" and right in your face corruption, and while boxing has always been infested with criminals they used to try to keep it more subtle, and almost all boxers used to behave like sportsmen and not like bellowing WWE cartoon freaks. The decline started with Clay-Ali i believe, who i think very little of as a boxer and a person. He himself said he patterned his act on the famous wrestling "heel" Gorgeous George.
