    I do find it pretty hilarious how David Haye has the ability to turn apparently fully grown adults into a bunch of crying little bitches.

    No, at least sane people don't. Haye just did the same thing as Scrubrerro did to talk his way into a title fight.

    Lol, most fighters that talk **** usually have backed it up in the ring. Seems like Khan and Haye are living on their hype instead of what they have done in the ring and somehow people keep buying their bull****.

    You're comparing Haye and Khan? Other than their nationality, what is the supposed similarity there?

    You've really went hard on trying to discredit Haye on an internet forum.

    No one thinks Haye's record is better than either Klitschko, No one thinks he can beat Wlad and no one thinks he could have beat Vitali intill about a year ago (even then it's still debatable) but to say that he failed miserably is a bit far, the guy is still a very good boxer who has won titles in two weight classes. Regardless of how much of a dick you think he is or how many times he appears to be **** he will still have fans, British people get behind their fighters like everyone else should, the guy is willing to get into the ring and anyone who does that should be taken seriously and supported for doing so.

    Yeah, they both have fooled the word into thinking they are worthy contenders of the number fighter in or around their weight class even though they have failed miserably in every attempt to prove themselves. Yet, they constantly talk about themselves like they have never lost and that they will dethrone fighters that they have no chance of beating. Very similar.

    Name some boxers who haven't failed miserably. Seriously Khan was a unified light welterweight world champion, Haye was a two weight world champion, if they 'failed miserably' pretty much every boxer has.

    I'll give Khan credit that he is at least still trying though. Haye on the other hand can do nothing but talk and talk.
     
  10. that's unfair to Khan. he may have the chin of a 7 year old girl, but he has the heart of a lion. one of the bravest boxers on the planet. he's just fundamentally flawed.

    Ok, right.

    So Haye failed to prove himself unifying in the CW division, picking up a strap at HW and then only losing to the greatest and most dominant fighter of his generation.

    And Khan failed to prove himself as a boxer winning Olympic silver at 17, unifying titles at 140 and defending them against several world class fighters in some hugely entertaining fights in which he demonstrated terrific heart and toughness.

    :patsch You're posting some absolute shite here. So every world champion who ends up losing at some point has failed to prove themselves.

    If people talking **** manages have such a significant on your ability to think rationally then I strongly suggest you stop reading any boxing media.

    No. Not if you're not stupid/ ridiculously over sensitive they're not.

    One is clearly a smart businessman who has understood how to market himself and maximise his earnings by being cocky and rubbing over sensitive people such as yourself up the wrong way.

    One is a bit of a dumb guy who buys into the **** his team feed him and has some delusions about his abilities.

    Not that similar really.

    I see Haye as a bit of a joke figure. The only fans I think he has now are all the women who voted for him on I 'm a celebrity get me out of here, not real boxing fans.
    He humiliated himself by blowing his own trumpet before the klitschko fight and then fighting the total opposite of how he said he would.

    No, a lot of fighters who talk **** dont.

    Pretty much every fighter for the last decade has said" Floyds boring,hes never fought anyone like me before"

    And then they get whooped.

    Im not sure if,you've noticed but **** talking is part of the game. It promotes fights and goads guys into giving fights.

    Mayorga made a career out of talking **** and then getting his ass beat, only to do it all over again next fight

    Since when has trying been such a big deal.

    A ****ing bouncer from the local night club can go in an "try" and swing wildly for a couple of rounds.

    That doesnt mean you're trying to win.

    Someone who really tries to win,comes with a game plan,and tries to execute it.

    Effort? Trying? what is this ****? Toughman??

    Any unskilled moron can "try", knowing full well that they woint land and will eventually get KO'd

    Haye actually took a few rounds off Wlad, without ever being in trouble,how many did Pianeta look like winning??
