    At the age of 31, Chris Eubank had 52 fights - twice as many while years younger.

    He's more content with being a "British" celebrity than a prize fighter.

    was always rumoured he doesn't like boxing training ?
    likes to fight but doesn't commit 100% to the lifestyle

    No outside income of boxing

    Extravagant lifestyle.

    Fought once in the last 3 years.

    34 years old.

    Numerous withdrawals from fights (Wlad, Charr, Fury).

    He is a promoters nightmare.

    Imagine staking all that money to promote him and he then pulls out with weeks to go. Imagine you were travelling from abroad and couldn't get refunded for flights, hotels, venue etc. You would be livid.

    I'd put him on an undercard until he learned to behave himself.

    This supposed comeback is taking far too long!

    He could have easily had a couple of fights this year! I think he said ill fight twice in 2014!

    Don't really get it! He could make loads of cash and maybe fight for a world title! Why not just crack on with it rather than be on shite tv shows!

    He became a waste when he moved to HW

    Hopefully he retires.

    His sense of entitlement, his constant messing around of the fans and his lying have put me right off him.

    Pulev, Wlad, Joshua, Wilder, Stiverne, Povetkin - There's still exciting fights to be made in the HW Division that don't include Haye.

    Haye's run @ HW has been completely abysmal.

    Still did a significant amount in those 26 fights. Pretty much cleaned out Cruiserweight then went up and had a few decent fights at Heavyweight including fighting an ATG. Not a bad career anyway, the only thing I wish he had done is actually fight Fury, apart from that I don't really care that he didn't fight other opponents even though there were/are some other potentially entertaining fights for him out there. After fighting Wlad and realising he was never going to be the man at HW, I don't blame Haye for not wanting to stick around and only wanting the money.

    We should be in the ultimate boxing era by now.

    10 fights to the title.. but barxing hasn't invented the superwheel yet.
