    Will this be his enduring legacy ?

    3 years of some of the most obnoxious self promotion and tasteless trash talking in the history of the game - only to come out after losing and all he can claim is " I hurt my little toe " ???

    in one move he has probably ruined his career and will now be ranked alongside such an icon of the game as Audley Harrison .

    stick a fork in him cos he's done.

    Haye deserves every bit of **** he is getting right now. Haye conned the public, especially the British and I think even a lot of them are disgusted.

    Haye's promotion was worse than Ali/Floyd/Hopkins/(insert name here)? Given the amount of race baiting that goes on in the build up to some bouts by people who should know better, I'd say Haye's was quite restrained in comparison.

    The beheading stuff was ridiculously OTT, but nobody took it seriously apart from one pair of Ukrainian brothers (who needed to be offended to sell the "grudge match" angle).

    I used to think that the idea of cryptoracism on ESB was just a delusion suffered by a few paranoid "hate whitey" types, but now I'm not so sure after the totally unwarranted overreaction to Haye's media persona. I don't like the way Haye goes about promoting things much, I think it's a bit crass - but I get that he has to sell the tickets. The idea that he's one of the worst EVER? I'm guessing that the promoters way back when boxing was segregated may have said a few things that would offend modern sensibilities a bit worse than anything David Haye might dream up...

    probably so but remember it was just a few years ago that the brothers had the "quitschko" label upon them. now they look to have no competition. haye is full of crap and deserves all that he is getting.

    I'm british but trust me the british are dumb. I learnt a long time ago that if people are that stupid just leave them to it it's better for all concerned.

    Agree, but likewise I would like to point out that Wladimir will also be shamed upon just as Mayweather will after retirement. Wlad is so awkward when he isnt jabbing and has nothing in his arsenal other than a jab right jab right and only combinations of those two. In the end the sport of boxing was the looser of the week.
