    I think he looks good so far. Good amateur background, good physical attributes. Possibly concerns surrounding his chin, but he same can be said about most of the newer heavyweight hopefuls. With the right grooming he'll probably become a contender, IDK about champion.

    I don't think he has the ambition to be a full time fighter. Which is a shame because he's probably more skilled than any of the newer Heavyweights based out of Germany at the moment.

    He just had a baby. Now back in the gym. Hopefully becoming a father motivates him to earn some good paydays

    Multiple injuries was a main reason for his absence

    Haye stayed at the hospital after he got there for a check up and will stay there for the prolonged time.Haye will undergo a surgery, after all, to repair damaged tendon.And he will be out of action at least for 6 months.

    Well, I think PPV numbers for Haye/Bellew fight will be disappointing for those who are involved.

    What makes you think so? It was huge in the UK, the casuals lapped it up like nothing else.

    He is with Uli Wegner now. Having a new coach ... looks like he wants to develop. But in my opinion the fighters that are based in germany don't fight very often. Idk why but basicly the big ones there are Sauerland which are greedy as ****.. way way way behind Hearn and the fights that are based in England.

    Fight itself, Haye was leading across all scorecards and then got injured, his injury and the way how the fight ended will dent PPV numbers.

    How does that influence ppv numbers as they are bought before the fight? Or am I misunderstanding something obvious?

    Or do you mean future ppv events will suffer?

    You can buy PPV even when the fight has started, so you have time to change your mind.
