    Haye is exciting in the ring but outside he is shrewd to the point of annoyance.

    Fights since 2004 to date:



    Wlad..............14

    Haye..............17


    last 6 fights completed in:

    Wlad..............31 months

    Haye..............36 months



    Vitali is the only non-disgrace in terms of activity (when fit).

    Yeah, but Wlad...Could have been more active if (at least the last 6 fights or so goes).........
    IF he wasn't waiting around on DAVID HAYE! The same guy who trash talked in a shopping mall seems like forever ago, and saying all he'd do in the HW division and he's done nothing.
    That is partly a joke, but partly serious. I do think Wlad would have more fights if not for Haye. Plus, even if Wlad was same as Haye...Wlad is already proven. He's whiped out the HW division, and what he didn't whipe out..His brother did it before he did. I think Haye needs to prove something, and the way he talked is that he would once at HW.

    He seems more inactive than he is. The facts show that he's not that inactive. Maybe it's because his recent fights haven't lasted too long? I'm not sure.

    This argument makes no sense.

    If Wlad has been waiting around for fights with Haye that never materialised......then so has Haye.


    The facts speak for themselves.......Haye more active overall and very little difference between them over their last few fights.


    I don't like it from EITHER of them, but at least I don't think only Wlad is inactive whilst ignoring Haye. Most of the Klit nuthuggers aren't even AWARE of the stats and just bash Haye regardless.

    Holyfield has been brought into this discussion.


    He wasn't really any more active in terms of fights per year.......it's just that he fought a lot of tough guys and that his career has been so long he gives the illusion of having been busier.

    Haye is both inactive and fighting bums. The worst of 2 worlds.

    Your sort of right about the fight never materialising, but think about this. If you and I were going to fight, and are in talks about it for 2 months, and then suddenly I announce I have signed to fighter FIGHTER X, and your like WTF? I was talking to this guy for 2 months, and he signs another fight? I'd have a fight before you, and now you gotta go out and search for another opponent, and go in to talks with them for however long it takes, and then fight.
    I'm not saying that's all of it, but it has happened in Wlad/ Haye negotiations. And we bash Haye because he talks smack, and doesn't deliver. If Wlad talked smacked, and was inactive I'd bash him too!
    You got one guy who acts so arrogant to attract fans to hate him so his fight can sell, he tells how he's going to beat The K Bros, clean out the division, blah, blah and does none of that. Then you got a guy like Wlad who is very humble, keeps knocking guys out, and the only person he's ever been disrespectful to is David haye as far as I know....

    This is why people dislike Haye.

    Holyfield is more active now!

    Haye is afraid of having his weak chin exposed. Even SMW's like Mock can completely rock the **** out of David Haye.

    That's almost exactly what Wlad judt did to Haye!


    Either way, both men's activity record suffers as result

    Hayes activity is pathetic. Fighting once a year twice in a good year is not good enough, basically it makes it impossible to follow his career with any interest because you have to wait a year for him to fight, and when he does its usually some embaressingly anti climatic much a do about nothing piece of **** fight against a wank opponent.

    Hes basically getting big money for old rope. He obviously doesnt actually like having to fight. Hes a money obsessed dick head who cant deliver the excitement to match his mouth and big talk. Hes done nothing good for the sport in fact hes harmed it among the casual fan who may now view boxing as a joke not to be taken seriously and certainly not to be paid for. Hes just exploited stupid people and found a way to make mega money for doing very little.

    Hes a ****ing fraud....hes nearly 31 yet hes only had 26 fights and is retiring in 6 months never fought in america, never fought a great opponent and never was in a great fight. His tortoise slow career is just a showbiz sham.

    Absolutely pathetic.
