    David Haye calls Odlanier Solis 'another fat bum' after one-round farce against Vitali Klitschko

    A lean 30 year-old, healthy athlete shouldn't have joints or ligament popping for no reason," said Haye. "He will unfortunately go down as yet another fat bum."


    will we remember haye as kindly

    Bellew himself maybe? Only stepped up to proper world level one time, knew he was well out of his depth before being easily stopped.

    How Tony can call himself a former world champion and PPV star is something that will baffle future generations for centuries. I'm not sure how much Hearn has made out of Bellew but it's a rare case where the promoter was worth every penny to the fighter.

    In a few years time people are going to be asking. How good was Toney Bellew really? Can you imagine if he fights Ward and then beats him at Heavy...That would boggle people heads for many a moon.

    Hate or love haye I think he was very exciting and deserved most of his money. You could go on all day. Derek chisora has earnt quite a bit when you think really he is a 50 k a fight kinda level. Amir Khan has earnt way more than haye and has quite a few losses but like haye Khan would go in and be exciting win or lose.

    Yeah that was awful, I'm absolutely sure Harrison was with Eddie Hearn/Matchroom for that one, love or hate Eddie you have to admit Matchroom have come a long way in a rather short amount of time.
