Haye looked like he'd lost a lot of weight when he was commentating on the Froch v Groves bill. I wonder whether this vegan diet will help at the top level. I always felt Haye was more effective when he was a bit bigger like in the Ruiz fight.

Haye, like Wlad, eats himself up to weight.

and possibly something else *coughs*

Would love to see Haye back, simply put he (usually) brings excitement. One big worry though after sitting through the Cotto-Martinez debacle, desperately hoping Martinez's knees would magically fall back together, is that for all he wants to believe his shoulder is better, it's a painful experience watching a once excellent fighter now look like a mess because they have a key body part for boxing letting them down (no jokes regarding cojones please :) ). No shoulder = no power = no win.

He was injured? I wouldn't take Haye's word for it.

As opposed to you or I and other fans that just speculate - I'll go with Haye and the fact he said he was injured thanks.

How naive.

Just out of interest,how would a vegan boxer get his protein?

Deciding something is fiction without any proof is far more naive. I guess we are are at different grades, I must try harder.

Nuts, beans, quorn, hemp. Bradley is a vegan

If he wanted to be a bit more cruel he could fight 43 year old Javo Pudar - he's WBA ranked.

How about Antonio Tarver?

He hasn't been right since Balboa.

Hello Mr Leprechaun,

You're labouring under the common misunderstanding that meat is the only decent source of protein. There are many ways to get protein into your body without meat. Legumes, wheat, nuts, oatmeal, potatoes and most vegetables all contain protein. Your body needs about 0.80 grams of protein for each kilo you weigh.

Most of us consume much more protein than we need but are well below the amount of vegetables we should be eating.

Tim Bradley has been a part time vegan for years now (while in training for a big fight) as are many other athletes these days. He doesn't do it for any humanitarian reasons but just for the benefits he feels it gives him in training camp.

I'm not a vegan or even a vegetarian (I love a decent burger ) but I work in a healthyish food shop & see the benefits of people who follow this lifestyle on a daily basis.

A bigger worry is getting other vitamins into your body like B12.

He's an admitted liar.

Do you believe he pulled out of the Vitali fight due to a real injury as well?

He''s held his hands up and said he lied about being able to chin Wlad and was shit but it will never be enough for the 'sorry doesn't cut it brigade'.
Don't blame him regarding Fury.

Just like he was injured when he was first signed to fight Wlad.

I was confident of Haye winning that fight. Seeing Charr lately justfies it so not really an issue

Agreed Charr was awful against Povetkin

Don't blame him for what regarding Fury? Because Tyson wasted a year out of his life getting ready to box him and he pulled out?

I'd imagine the dogs abuse Fury and allies threw in Haye's direction helped with his decision .

Love the abuse Groves got for his comments/demeanour in the Froch build up, yet Fury is allowed free reign because 'it's David Haye'?

What's the deal with Fury anyway? He was abusing Adam Smith the other day,
@SkyAdamSmith Now we know the real reason why your SO biased Towards team Fury! Because 10 years ago u got battered by a traveler! #Wanker!!

Has he been told to never darken Sky Boxing's doors again? I know he's thick but you think he'd have one eye on the future.

Horse what would Haye gain from pulling out of fights with fake injuries?

I dont get this vegan bollox. Just a fad. One step away from buftieism.

Nothing wrong with meat. Vegetables have feelings too.

So he doesn't have to fight them.

I didn't think there were many people who thought his 'injuries' against Vitali and Charr were genuine.

I find it even harder to imagine him coming out on top in one !

(that said, he would probably give me a right hiding)

I find the people funny, who think David Haye needs apologize....

He does not need to apologize for anything, what a pathetic bunch of fans.
