Never was the savior. Audely Harrison always said himself he was the "false messiah" and a "fairweather friend". Just a blown up Crusierweight on a smash and grab mission to get as much £££££s he can - as easily as he can. Won a Strap at heavyweight - Milked it for all its worth and lapped up the attention and hyped up his new found status - played the Celebrity Circuit for a while - going to Celebrity Events and partying with Pamela Anderson. Went on the Jonathan Ross show. Went on the Paul O Grady Show. Ducked both Klitshckos for over 2 years. Slagged off both Klitschkos and called them boring - when track runner Haye - run from Valuev all night - and Vitali stood toe to toe - blood - cuts and all - with Lennox Lewis for 6 rounds. Disgraced the sport after promising so much and slagging of Klitschkos standard of oppostion - with a mismatch with Audely Harrison (I feel bad for Audley in that fight - out of his depth - and just selected for his celebrity name as a Sacarfice for Haye to feed on and look good) Haye said after the Audely fight on Twitter he was on his way back from Manchester eatinf choclate and twweted he had "nothing to feel ashamed on" - the only one mentioning shame was Haye - so he knows he has plenty to be ashmaed of - hurting poor deluded Audely - for a sack full of cash. :-( Only good that came out of that fight is Audley got £1.25 million - now I know alot of people slag off Audley and regard him as a joke - but least he can leave the game with a decent pay cheque. Audelys not a bad man - just thought he was better than he actually was. As Audelys wife once told us before the Haye fight we all love Audely because........"theres a little bit of Audely in all of us" :scaredas: - speak for yourself love. Haye after talking so much junk - finally cashed in his chips with a Klitschko fight - and he lasted the distance - but he didnt really lay it all on the line. That fight was more about Klitshckos legacy - than retire at 31 years old - precious Haye. Wlad might be boring - but he is a accomplished pro with much more on hisn CV than Haye - = and very qucik on his feet making Haye miss. I know Haye is British - and got alot of British support. But in the years to come - Haye will be a footnote - and the Klitshckos era will be remebered in Boxing History - as the domination of the post Lennox Lewis era. :smoke
Haye did himself no favours with his "performance". He was in survival mode, and was just like most of the victims of Wlad in the ring. Atleast some of Wlads other opponents tried to win and took risks, Haye just ran away all night with the odd pot shot here and there. I agree 100% with your post. He was a paper champion, and he never had the desire to put it all on the line, in the most important fight of his life. His move to HW was all about the bucks not about the dream or the destiny of becoming the best, in the flagship division.
Thing is - Haye talked a good game for a couple of years. But it was obvious he was just about the easy and big money. You can kid people outside the ring - but not inside it. Once inside them ropes - you bare your soul - and the desire was not there.
Hasn't this been done to death in the last fortnight? Haye is a fraud because he said lots of nasty things and couldn't back it up. It took two weeks to reach that conclusion?
Surely after listening to the gobshite fraud trashtalking for over 2 years people are entitled to ram it down his throat how shite he really is daily for the next 2 years.:nono
