    He's not serious about boxing, which is a shame because he's probably the third best heavyweight right now.

    He said he's only interested in a Klit fight and the financial rewards of any other fight isn't worth it for him to go through the process of a training camp :|.

    I just can't respect that ****. He's hasn't even had 30 fights. He's a celebrity first and foremost. There's **** all of a fighter in him despite his talent.

    Haye said about 2 years ago,that he was retired assuming that he didnt get a Klitshcko.

    He only fought Chisora,because it became a huge domestic fight after what happened at the press conference.

    The guy seems to be keeping to his word.

    I missed the part where Haye needs rescuing, he's retired for anyone other than Vitali, Vitali is going to retire with his tail between his legs instead of back up his KO talk, did i miss anything?

    Don't be silly. Haye is one of the top 5 hardest working fighters in camp and always comes in top condition and well prepared.

    Just because he doesnt want to fight the nameless heavyweights doesnt mean he's not a fighter. He's been fighting his whole life. He can do whatever he wants. Why should he make someone rich who doesn't deserve it? Wlad, Vitali, Chisora, Valuev even Ruiz and Harrison all brought something to the table. What's Pulev and Povetkin bringing?

    He's trying to negotiate for big money rather than grinding out the division. If he was serious about challenging Wlad again then he should get into the rankings and earn a number one contender's spot. Shouldn't be that hard to do.

    So it isn't OK for a 42 year old to retire but it is OK for Haye to retire? :huh

    What kind of delusional Glass Jawed British logic is that? :rofl:patsch

    I didn't say he's lazy, I said there's **** all of a fighter in him. He wants as much money for a little effort as possible. He'd fight Butterbean if it made him a lot of money.

    You have a ****ing shameful attitude towards the sport btw. Encouraging fighters to not to take decent fights. Some boxing fan you are.

    If you recall, in a thread on that subject I suggested Vitali should retire & enjoy his new career. Very few boxers leave the game healthy & wealthy.

    Dunno wtf you're on about, you sound mad.

    No that's not what I even said. He feels that he is old enough and has paid his dues that he doesn't have to fight every no mark.

    Grow up, boxing has always operated on risk vs reward analysis. I dont have this blind childish mentality that top fighters will fight each other because it's not reality. I'm not gonna waste my time thinking in unrealistin terms, go ahead if you want to. Spoiler - it's not gonna happen.
