Haye fans going overboard ????

Stop being so boring. Britain has a HW Champ for Christ's sake.

1) I think we're entitled to feel happy about it.
2) I've yet to come across a post like 'Haye is the best of the current HWs'. People on here know the context of the win.

 

He showed decent stamina, constant defence AND managed to buckle the beast, which shows his power is legit even against big heavys. You up for Ruiz at theO2 if it happens Dan, Haye has already said he'll knockRuiz out.

 

He was a former cruiserweight who just beat the biggest heavyweight of all time - I think we can go a little overboard!

 

First up, doesn't EVERY fighter say they are going to win by KO? I don't even let that stuff register.


Secondly, the manner in which he performed impressed me. As Lee Meager said on Buncey's show once 'everyone has a plan - til they get punched in the face'. Haye executed brilliantly. It is **** to watch and frustrating but he did what he planned to a tee. How many fighters can do that? Not many.


Lastly, the guy has gone to Germany and won the heavyweight crown. It wasn't in great style. I could see people scoring a draw or even a 7-5 Valuev, but to me Haye deservedly won.

But come on, the guy has won the heavyweight title. Does the style even matter?! We seem to ask a lot of fighters these days.

 

think it is a small achievement to have been the first man to wobble the biggest title holder in HW history. I'm just glad Haye won, hopefully he will gain widespread recognition when he takes out Wlad (which I have said for ages, I'm not caught up in the excitement and making a rash pick. Still unsure on Vitali)

 

Not just his fans . The clowns on 5 live were trying too say it was the best British win , away from home . They were describing a mayweather type performance.

 

Probably more than that in fact, but facts are facts - Haye was very much unproven at heavy, had terrible stamina, a poor chin, couldn't work to a gameplan etc. etc. Yet he still managed to beat someone who held all the physical advantages (and by some margin) and was a lot more proven at the weight comfortably in my opinion.

Yeah lots of people on the Brit forum thought Haye was going to win, however not many experts did (you could say they had a less biased view of the fight). This was a massive achievement that should be appreciated.

 

An outrageous comparison to Mayweather from 5 Live - p
Pretty Boy Floyd would not fight someone his own weight these days, let alone 7 stone heavier

 

I thought the jab to the stomach, lateral movement and poor workrate was very Floyd-esque actually.

 

:rofl Brilliant. Just brilliant:good.

 

Reminded me of Floyd-Baldomir at times. Floyd had no need to engage and Baldomir not the first clue how to make him.
