David Haye is he done or can he comeback ?

Haye fans have to be the most clueless people in the sport.

Haye's been done since before his comeback. That's why he only dared take on the fearsome duo of Mark de Mori and Arnold Gjergjai. The Bellew fight was meant to be a quick and easy cash grab, but ended up exposing just how far gone Haye was. Yet people still want to excuse his performance as an anomaly. It wasn't. That was the real Haye, a shot former cruiser who's lost all the speed and sharpness he once possessed and can't get through a training camp without breaking down.

Bellew would beat him again, and if Bellew can beat you then a whole lot of other heavies can as well. Off the top of my head anyone in the top ten would likely beat him, and probably quite a few fighters in the top twenty and thirty as well. That's not a reflection on how strong the division is at the moment but of how shot Haye has become.

 

Are you for real? Ortiz and Povetkin would flatten Haye.

Not sure if there's any real point in explaining the reasoning why.

 

Not everyone ages or deteriorates at the same rate. In fact, not every part of our body ages or deteriorates at the same rate. Chris Byrd needs shoulder joint and hip joint replacement surgery at age 47- a condition that he attributes to boxing. Most boxers who are far older, have fought longer and gotten pummeled more severely don't.

 

He's done in the same sence as Briggs was done after Klitschko.

He will probably fight some more, irrelevant, fights, and show up in the media every now and then talkning like he is beeing worth a title shot.

Could see him cashing out against Joshua if a opportunity show up, that would be a massive money fight.

 

Haye has only 31 fights and he made a comeback in 2016 after 4 years retirement, he did what he was supposed
to do against De Mori and Gjergjaj, he knocked them out in less than 3 rounds, he had a bad performance against
Bellew mainly due to overconfidence, bad training, too much weight and injury.

He has a new trainer now and he probably won't come in the ring over 215 pounds again, he also seems to be
extremely motivated, i think he has still enough to beat most heavyweights.

 

All of those fighters have remained active and relevant in the division. They haven't wasted their prime taking extended breaks or fighting bottom of the barrel opposition.

Haye did and now he's paying the price. His body is breaking down and he no longer has the same speed and reflexes he once had, and coupled with the ring rust that doesn't bode well for his chances at all.

An injury free Haye is like expecting an in-shape Solis. It's never going to happen.

 

Hes the most overated fighter of the last 20years. The Haye fans are serious casuals.

 

If so he'll need to arrange it now, before his brand takes another hit. He gets beaten down by Bellew again and the interest in that fight goes out the window.

 

He shows no intent of wanting to be a relevant boxer. He had a four year lay off, after some serious injuries, then fights 2 no names and looses a cash fight against the huge under dog Bellew (effect by yet another (and a new) injury).

Talkning about how Haye could be ranked in the top five if he wants to is just like Vitali could be a top five. If he came back injury free he sure has the talent as well, but I don't see it happening and neither does he.

 

He can still be the man dominating Ibiza gay scene for years to come!

 

He could just take another 4 year pause...

 

I really hope you're right.

If Haye is fit and actually wants and can fight, he's one of the most fun to watch (and dangerous) fighters out there.

 

Haye could come back in four years, get beaten down by Dustin Nichols and his fans would still give him a shot.

 

The same Povetkin who got floored 4 times by Klitschko, and lost every round?

And the same Ortiz who recently went 12 rounds with Malik Scott? (even Derek Chisora knocked out Scott in 4 rounds, took Deontay Wilder 1 round)

Nope, I don't see it.

Haye is far better than these two if he's fit, I'm not reading too much into his loss against Bellew, I would concede his timing did look a little off in the early rounds before the injury, but for me there was no question he was going to win that fight.

 

yeh he will come back 250lbs and ripped and be big enough to compete with the super heavies.
