    Guess those lil bootys didnt help Haye.

    Who would believe the ring walks would be better than the fight itself.

    To be fair Barry Mcguigan was say Haye was making excuses with his toe and that Adam Booth was talking nonsense in the post fight interview, someone else was saying he was milking it falling over all the time. They weren't totally blind and licking his arse.

    Good analysis by Lennox. Haye simply didn't take the risks necessary to bring Wlad out of his comfort zone. Haye ended up sitting there outside of range eating jabs all night like others before him.

    The media here are ridiculous, they build people up into cult figures and then love disecting it when it all goes wrong. Just look at this last week, all the hype over Murray winning wimbledon and Haye fighting Wlad. Both were betting outsiders but they treat them like theyre odds on to do it.

    The media does the same thing with the England football team, most people know they are shite but they still get dragged along by the media hype saying they can win the world cup.

    Sadly a lot of people (Sun readers) get taken in by it all and spend their money on this guff which encourages the media to continue in this way.

    The pundits on Sky are among the worst in the world, and dont help matters. They dont base their opinions on reality , but on hyping the fight, most of them were predicting a Haye win :patsch

    Give Haye his dues he won me some cash in the Harrison fight , unfortunately I had him to get KO/TKO'd tonight , dam wlad and his defensive mindset lol.

    Dont blame Haye though, he just played the game and made a lot of money, blame the British media.

    What are Haye's career net earnings between Valuev/Ruiz/Harrison and Wlad? Must be quite a nest egg there that he earned for his retirement.

    Can't remember what round but in the Valuev fight Sky was admiring Haye's game plan, when he hadn't even attempted a punch for almost two minutes.

    Bear in mind, it was a Sky Sports presenter that asked George Groves if he was going to fight Amir Khan next. :patsch

    There's a handful of people at Sky that know their boxing, other than that they haven't got a notion. It's no wonder British fans are so utterly delusional about their fighters.

    No surprise that they went on the attack over the referee straight after the fight last night. Barry McGuigan was the only one who didn't agree. Yet, when they returned from a break, he changed his tune completely. That's why they're known as Sly Sports, always an agenda.

    Haye fought like a man who has been sleeping in silk pyjamas for too long, he wants the money but not the bruises. It was a shamefull performance from a man who could not walk the walk, he dogged it! Fighters of the past who fought on with dreadful injuries would be rolling in their graves at the excuse of a broken toe! Marciano, Willard, and too many others to mention regardless of talent and or size deficiencies, had one thing in common, they were prepared to fight to the death, sadly, the over preened over confident and under talented David Haye is sadly lacking in this ethic.
