He spars at The Fury gym. They are quite friendly.

Exactly - how do you think he would react of somebody else had said it?

I don't think he's a bully, he's a chav in press conferences etc and sometimes unsporting in the ring. But he doesn't seem like the type of guy who would just start trying to intimidate someone for nothing. Maybe he gave a few people a slap when he was younger I don't know but people change. Most of us were tits when we were younger.

I was well chuffed when he won the world title and always thought he was decent when he posted on here.

He does chat some shit sometimes though, and I find him cringeworthy when he behaves like a bell end. Overall I'm still a fan.

Bigger Haye fan though lol.

From people who know both, Haye is a bigger tit in real life. Nobody has anything good to say about him.

You've got a couple of first hand experiences of Haye, haven't you Mickey?

I've only met him briefly and didn't find him particularly friendly, but I suppose he gave me a bit of time at least. I have heard stories of him being a complete prick through, literally telling people to "f*ck off" when they tried to say hello.

There is a lot to dislike about him, he's kind of a tacky guy, a car salesman slime ball at his worst, but some of his fights have been electric and when he's on form as a fighter he is tremendous.

Never really heard anybody say anything bad about Bellew, who comes across as a decent fella when he wants to and I'm sure would have time for you if you said hello. He talks a load of shite but then so does Haye. Both back it up when they're fighting certain opposition and bottle it when they're fighting somebody else.

In Haye's case however, his "bottling it" generally comes in excruciatingly safety first performances against giants over 6'6"

Can't help but root for Haye in this, though

Can we just ban this guy, please? He's the worst poster on the forum, and that's with some stiff competition.

I'm actually warming more and more to Bellow ,, his big mouth used to put me off but in all honesty the higher the ladder he's climbed the more i'm thinking its was all just a case of any publicity has long has its publicity ... Haye on the other hand seeme to come across a bit better but you can't help but think , if i shook hands with him i'd check if the wallet is still there after ,

Dunno just think Bellow would be a better neighbor , and that is my way of analizing things

I met Haye in Helsinki at Froch vs Abraham and he seemed a nice enough chap, stood and chatted with us for about 5 mins as we were with a small group of British fans that went over. I don't judge people on things like that though, most boxers can put on a face for their fans and the general public. It's behind closed doors that defines if they're a prick or not usually.

Parsons Cross has had dealings with him, he wasn't great.

Didn't he "fight" you in his last match? I heard many people saying you dived for a bit of money, but ok.
