So did Calzaghe after getting in a close one with Reid... etc etc... Pavlik had some sort of flu against Hopkins...
I don't believe they are. It was a fantastic achievement for a former cruiserweight. I'm not even a huge fan of David Haye but he deserves his day in the sun, he won a heavyweight title away from home. It will all blow over in a weeks time, it always does.
To be fair to the Haye fans (and I like Haye myself) they are not "going as overboard" as perhaps some of the Hatton and Calzaghe fans have done in the past after a win.
Thing with this hand injury in the second or third - he'd already shown us how he was gonna fight. And he still threw single rights. I don't believe it affected his gameplan or performance THAT much. Big Haye fan, delighted he won... but he's a drama queen. Remember when he got cut?
To all those who dont believe that Haye may be getting slighty overated................. read the back of the sun today
I watched the fight live and Valouev won it. He threw the punches while Haye ran and did not throw punches, very few. I agree with Jim Watt. Chagaev won the title from Valouev, and Vlad beat Chagaev winning the title in the ring. WBA took the title away and gave it to Valouev. Ruiz did better against Valoeuv than Haye. Holyfield did also.
I think Haye may end up with the same hand problems as Naz, they throw punches in a similar faction with all their weight behind it.
