At least Daveeed Gaye has finally realised he has let boxing fans down big time with Wlad and all those cancellations. Still a banker though and this interview probably aimed at further conning people.
Haye is no longer a fighting man's man! I did used to like him but not since he started to see himself as a celebrity, they all talk bull we know that.
i think you have to be a deeply suspicious person to consider the shoulder surgery as a cover. his attempt to crossover is a bit of a non-issue for me, although his in-ring career has been frustrating. not sure what you're getting at with your fighting man's man comment, i'd be speculating as much as i suspect you are. certainly the recent photos of him repasting with vitali suggest otherwise.
I guess it's all speculation unless you know the boxers personally. With regards to the fighting man's man I dont think he really wants to fight he just wants the big money and fame.
he wanted to be in expendables 2 atsch, unfortunately with expendables 3 I think the book is closed on that franchise in the ring the fact remains that he has a very unique, high risk style that (usually) makes for an entertaining and exciting bout. he can actually see punches and is fast enough to react to them, which is more than you can say for the majority of bums currently in the division.
