Why fans bought into David Haye

Good read mate and very true! I dont agree with what Haye does when it come down to these contracts etc but as a fighter he brings excitement to every fight! He is fast,bangs hard but has been put on his arse a few times which makes it interesting!

 

This is going to end in another **** storm

 

let me get this in on the first page...

poland sucks.

 

Superb post, Jack. Completely agree.

I personally followed him from the amateurs and was hooked on the obvious skills he had coupled with the speed and power.

As for the sport, the Heavyweight division has always been my main focal point and when I got into boxing, I read up on past fighters. I was around for the Tyson boom years, followed by the Holyfield vs Bowe wars and the Lennox Lewis reign - All great stuff. But the later part of the last decade the division has been in the doldrums and I just don't find the Klitschkos watchable. I've seen fights of most Heavyweights in history but Wladimir, I just don't want to watch him fight. Hes a good fighter and been a credit as a champion but he is dull to watch.

Haye brings some optimism that things can change, that after many worthless US pretenders like Thompson, Brock etc we might have a man that can beat Wladimir. During the Lennox years you had contenders who could fight and entertain now its all drab.

All that said both sides frustrate the hell out of me by not getting the fight on.

 

Good read dude...

But you are really obsessed aren't you?

 

Haye's definitely the following:

- Most exciting HW.
- One of the most talented HWs.
- One of the biggest punchers.
- A much needed fighter in the division.

But in the end, all that makes it even more disappointing when you look at his exploits of the past few years, and his plans to retire in 10/11 months time.

 

I would agree to the "Haye is the anti-thesis to the Klitschkos" if he boxed high quality opponents, regularly produced memorable fights and overall generated interest in boxing from fans worldwide. The answer is "No" on all three counts.

Whatever Haye criticized about the Klitschkos, all the things he promised he will do better than them when he conquers the HW division... all those promises were a sham.

He hand-picks the same (or worse) opponents than the Klits and just like them is unable to produce memorable fights at HW. He has done nothing for the heavyweight scene other than get expectations amped up and then let millions of boxing fans confused and disappointed.

After almost 30 months of talking his credit with fans (outside of the UK) has run out a good while ago. You can only promise so much while delivering the opposite. Nobody needs Haye. Good riddance, bon voyage, nobody (outside of the UK) will even notice when he retires.

 

I think you kind of took the bit where he said 'make what you will of his resume so far', bent it over and forced your dick inside it's anus.

The thread is clearly talking about why fans ORIGINALLY brought into Haye, yet you choose to have another discussion about his record. We get it, his record and inactivity are awful - but seriously - what part of the post that Jack made actually prompted you to emit more of the same drivel you write in every thread?

Just because he looks like a clown when he fights, doesn't mean he's skilled or exciting. Just watch his fights against Valuev and Fraudley to see how utterly boring and cowardly he can be.

 

doesn't change the fact poland is a **** hole, the germans should have had their ways with you.
