    Strictly speaking, defence is about not being hit. By running all night, Haye was very good at not getting hit. Of course, it made his fights atrocious to watch. But this isn't about what a **** Haye was, it is about his defence.

    I'm no Haye fan, to me he's the biggest laughing stock in boxing, but his reflexes and defensive skills are exellent, the fact that he runs and throws wild shots rather than fight is another story
