    David Haye has once again retired, this time it seems to be for real because of his shoulder problem.

    In your opinion, has David Haye done enough in his career to deserve be voted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame?

    Haye is a lock for the HOF. He beat Mormeck, Ruiz, Barrett and Chisora in spectacular, world-wide boxoffice fights.

    without a shadow of a doubt, he deserves it for his press conference brawl with chisora alone - "HE GLARRSSSED ME!!"

    Not sure - some good achievements but he fought less than 30 fights and only had a handful of real, quality fights.

    Haye may be remembered for his toe, even though he was the man at Cruiserweight, held a HW title, and beat up Chisora in and out of the ring.

    Haye should still be ranked ahead of Joe Cortez, and Rocky "Rambo" Balboa Stallone in the boxing HOF.

    He has had FIVE fights in those five years. And

    He has pulled out of far more fights than he's had in that span. One in the last two years.

    If he was inducted he'd pull out before the ceremony.

    Haye is one of the top 5 talked about boxers at ESB in the last 5 years. He has a million twitter followers. He grossed $25 million in 5 years.

    That'll be the cliffnotes of his HOF induction speech.

    Haye's claim to fame is beating Mormeck for the CW title. Haye fans will try to make it this out to be some great win. O'Neil Bell did the same thing against a already shot Mormeck before Haye did. Enzo Mac doesnt even count as a fighter.

    He got a gift from Don King for the WBA HW title. King then made a few bucks off Haye for his title defenses.
