Why is it that when David Haye opts for surgery, he is accused of ducking Fury and maybe even faking the injury?

Then when Darren Barker opts to fight with a problem he thought he could win the fight with, he gets slated for 'ripping everyone off' and 'cashing in'?

Strange old world on BoxRec.

Because we all know Barker has dodgy hips, it's been well documented.

On the other hand, Haye seems to pick up injuries to various parts of his body, all in training, forcing him to pull out of fights. Since he moved to heavyweight he's had 6 fights. In that time he's pulled out against Fury(twice), Charr and one of the Klitschko's, to go with the ridiculous excuse about his toe.

Ummm would love to really go for this but will resist to a point ...

I was in training camp with David for 10 weeks solid, without going home. When he cut his eye in sparring David was devastated, trust me he wanted to fight Tyson Fury - in addition the remainder of the team were truly gutted because we were looking forward to putting on a fantastic promotion.

I am not going to justify the pathetic, b*llocks comments concerning the legitimacy of David's injuries - enough said.

Jamie Moore was one of the most courageous fighters I knew - without doubt in my opinion he would have won a world title if it wasnt for injuries/illness.

You've got it wrong Spud. I don't think Haye faked the injury. Other people accuse him on BoxRec, not me.

He never really got the oppurtunity either. I thought moore had a classy & steady style of boxing & enjoyed most his fights!
