    Haye is so ****ing sloppy, I mean he has a guy out on his feet who cant even throw back at him and he is just flopping around all over the ring about to fall over.

    Haye is like a spastic ******ed cousin of Roy Jones or something.

    There is a world of difference between the scoring system used in the ams to the all out agression of professional boxing. Some of the most talented amateurs are simply not suited to the pros, Audley is one of them. Last night was a farce but nonetheless you cannot discredit his amateur achievments, anyone who wins Olympic gold has to be respected regardless of whether they carry that success to the professional game.

    His physical attributes and style are perfect for the amateur game...southpaw with freakish reach and power fighting for 3 rounds using the amateur scoring system.
