    He came out of retirement for a final PPV windfall on the back of AJ and he hit the jackpot with 2 PPVs with Toni Bellew after 50 seconds of acting in Liverpool.

    His legacy pre comeback looked very good but now is no different than Glasgow's Skippy Burns.

    The worst bit is that people will only remember him as 'The Toe' who conned the British Public against Klit and twice against Bellew when he entered the ring with career ending injuries to suck PPV money from the PPV mugs

    Other than swapping out Bellew for Bellend this is a very good and accurate post.

    Also would like to point out, that Haye's comeback consisted of facing two dangerous HWs with good records, one of which seemed to take a dive based on a punch that he blocked with his right hand guard.

    Sorry mate, I clearly forgot about Haye wearing the giant nappy and his opponent doing a Joe Hart.

    Kell Brook did pretty well considering the only top level scalp was a close decision/stalemate over Porter.

    He sold his legacy for PPV money mate - he lost his legacy but all he cares about is money.

    His biggest con job was the Audley ppv. The fans demand it said Haye. :facepalm:

    The PPV mugs were badly poked but still they come back time and again.

    The Exhibition fight between Fraud and Conman McG where Fraud carried Con for a few rounds is the biggest PPV rogering of the mugs ever - the fools and their money easily parted after watching a few mins of staged acting.

    Haye made a fortune and his ex wife would only be entitled to 50% on divorce so he must have been left with millions of pounds.

    Wonder how he managed to squander millions and millions of pounds in less than 5 years?

    Right Said Fred made a lot of money in the UK off a bad record.

    The losses are not the issue.

    Legends of the past had higher loss records because they were consistently fighting the best in their division.

    The problem comes from such a weak resume at heavyweight and an overrated cruiser resume from all the ducking and diving he had done.
