    Biggest dissapointment for me recently was Haye/Valuev. I expected Haye to box smart, not get on his bike and stink the arena out for the full 12.

    So you think that Haye was there to provide entertainment for you???

    For **** sake, he was there to win a Title and did so in a beautiful style...

    Do not not realise how much height and weight he was conceeding? He had to develop a game plan to overcome these problems and did so...

    Got it! I now remember the biggest build up for me to go wrong so bad.

    Tyson-Bruno 2

    All the papers and media were all up Frank's bum hole, showing so much love and admiration for the big guy (way more Lennox ever had). When the Tyson fight was coming up I was very young and it was the first time my dad let me stay up to watch it. Big mistake, he was so damn scared it was unreal! Your the champ!!!

    Well aside from that not really being the point of the thread (i.e. biggest letdown compared to the hype etc.) it is errrmmmm.... bollox.

    On a number of fronts, actually.

    Firstly, in the age of the dreadnought heavy Haye will always be giving up height and weight.

    Secondly getting on your bike is not beautiful. It's lame and cowardly. Boxing cleverly and getting on your bike, barely throwing a shot in 12 rounds are not the same thing. At all.

    Was on Jury service for just under 9 weeks, got back to work and the department boss had been made redundant so can't really access the web too often whilst I try to sus him out...

    Just bought myself a laptop this weekend, as I had nothing at home, so, hopefully, I should be around more often...
