    And may I add also, your hero had one of the most pathetic defences of his titles ever seen in the heavyweight division. He isn't mentally strong enough to face dangerous challengers. The only exception is the Wlad fight which he had to take & being paid multi millions helps too. He promised to bring excitement and knock the robot out. What did he do? Nothing. Didn't even try and then pathetically blamed it on a little toe which is his lasting memory for many.

    And even his return has been a farce - fighting two men that even you and your big back could beat & then a shameless cash out against Tony Bellew.

    Haye is a mentally fragile disgrace to boxing.

    Again, I'll repeat, calling him mentally fragile is quite clearly inaccurate because of the way he fought on with a torn achilles and the way he beatdown Chisora in front of his entourage. If he's mentally fragile then what the ****ing hell are you?

    Nobody has ever defended the toe excuse and so what? Boxers always promise KOs before a fight. Whyte does it every time and then eeks out a poor decision. It's called promotion.

    The fact is he tore his achilles and had every reason to quit the fight against Bellew but continued to fight in a dangerous situation on one leg, in what must have been agonising pain. And now he is rehabbing and training just as hard in order to make a comeback to fight again when he is clearly past his best. Yeah, what a mentally fragile bloke...

    The only UFC related news I've ever read Haye linked to was him possibly fighting Jimi Manuwa in a boxing match. That in nutshell says where Haye's career is at this point.

    Won't happen. Haye couldn't handle Wlad's grabbling when they fought so he won't do well in the ufc. He has dynamic striking with his hands but no fighter will just stand with him.

    So he wants a boxing match with a UFC fighter?

    Why do all of these boxers who can't cut it in boxing anymore want to go pick on non-boxers?

    The rumor is he's going to fight Jimmy Manawa in a boxing match. Jimmy will have no chance against Damaged Goods David. So, it's a good bout for David. However in a MMA match David would have no prayer...

    And you're going to see stuff like Nate Diaz vs Pacquaio or Mayweather vs McGregor which should be signed by Tuesday next week. Boxers want more exposure and MMA guys wanna make boxing $$$$$$ !!

    What a lot of folks don't really understand is in a privatized sport like boxing with multiple promoters and matchmakers that ticket prices are going to be much higher in a boxing match because of the purse bid. MMA has no such thing so guys like Dana can pimp 98% of those MMA guys.I mean Rhonda Rousey has made about as much in Octagon as Zab Judah has made in the ring .
