    I'm shocked you made a Haye post without mentioning his chin or "11.9 punches per round".

    Of course he can't, for one he's getting his ass kicked on July 2nd, and 2 he's already said he's retiring. To become the man he'd have to beat Wlad and Vitali and wipe out the rest of the division. LOL

    You have obviously never spoken to the man he crippled for life when naz ran him over on a pedestrian crossing.

    Bruno was hugely popular. But in my opinion hameds popularity wasn't far off. In Britain the two fighters that were the biggest in terms of audience attraction was hamed and tyson...they really made PPV what it is today in the UK. But in terms of pure popularity I'd put Bruno top, with hamed a close second. Trouble is as many people hated hamed, as those who loved him.

    Haye is liked by a certain type of person, but a lot of people think he's an *******.

    I can actually imagine a lot of people over here adopting Wlad as their champ after he beats Haye.

    The support Wlad is now getting over here is very good, Haye portrayed Wlad as a very boring guy, but he was actually talking about himself.

    Really? Want to count the amount of times Bruno was ever down and then compare it to old WALDO?

    haye will never be anywhere near as popular as bruno or hatton. bruno and hatton were typical brits, down to earth people who arn't afraid to laugh at themselves, genuine people who don't need to go around mouthing off being a flash, cocky, arrogant *****, telling the world how great they are. this is why most brits think the majority of american people are full of ****, we can't stand loud, cocky, mouthy, flash, attention seeking people.

    the likes of haye, degale, and audley fall into that category and they will never appeal to the average brit on the streets. hamed also fell into that category but he was incredibly entertaining to back up his arrogance. half of the people who tuned in to watch hamed just wanted to see him lose.

    You dunno **** about British boxing. That's just about the most idiotic statement on Bruno I've ever heard.

    Bruno was very well known because he boxed on terrestrial ****ing tv, so how could he had been not known by the British public as he worked his way up through the years. He was in adverts, fought against Tim Witherspoon for the world title and Joe Bugner before he fought Tyson.

    Don't post **** on stuff you obviously have no knowledge of.

    Let's correct your post, shall we:

    There, fixed it for you.

    Bruno and haye are on the same level. Haye will get exposed soon just like tyson exposed bruno. he had a great record with like 22 st8 win by KO or something.
