haye fought perfect fight!

I think he really tried to win, wlad was just better, He did con himself into a lot of money, I wonder how much he made in those 3 fights with valuev,harrison,wlad

 

Isn't a coincidence that all of Wlad's opponents in the last 5 years have only turned uo for a pay cheque . . . . . . . . NO.

Wlad fought a great fight and almost completely nullified Haye's offensive threat, reducing him to wild lunging punches in desparation. Every fighter thinks they know what to do to beat Wlad until they get in the ring and find out it's a lot harder than they thought.

There seems to be a lot of anger following this fight from people who bought into Haye's hype and trash talk instead of looking at how they fight would realistically turn out.

 

+1 yea thats a good question i think wlad would be his highest paid fight then valuev

 

To be fair to him, having stepped us cruiser champion he was as credible a challenger for Valuev's title as anyone else.

The Harrison fight was an absolute farce. A joke of a fight which should never have been allowed to happen.

Then Haye used his name, mouth and title to lure Wlad in to a huge superfight and career high payday at a time when Wlad really didn't have too many other credible options.

 

Hahaha, look at the knee jerkers who clearly bought into the hype.

If that fight wasn't exactly what you was expecting then you're fools

 

bs...
he couldve taken a dive if he just wanted to cash out without getting hurt but he didn't.
going the distance with wlad is an accomplishment in itself and he ate some solid shots along the way.
I think it was a courageous performance by Haye, nth to be ashamed of (apart from the toe-thing maybe).

 

I thought Haye did very well not to get KO'd. Give him some credit. The pre-fight trash talk was tongue in cheek and I really enjoyed it, it gave the fight some hype and created a great atmosphere.

And then obviously people expected too much due to too much build up.

 

So standing within punching range of Wlad with your hands down by your waist and your chin sticking out is trying to survive?

All you're doing with this thread is detracting from the things Wlad did well, i.e completely nullifying Haye's threat.

 

Yeah I have no problem with it, especially considering how thin the division is. I meant if he fought wlad or vitali in 2008/9 then he would have gotten way less money, instead he won a belt hyped the fight up as hell and 2 years later cashed in, if he had won it would be even better, haye did very well in promoting this fight the last few years, eventhough it sucks for boxingfans because you have to wait years for a fight to happen.

 

I dont buy that.
So his ego wouldnt allow him to take a dive but to run away like a little girl (as you imply, I didn't have the impression that all he did was running)?
He couldve faked an injury, provoked a dq, there are so many ways to get out of a fight while somewhat saving face and without taking too much punishment... If that was his mindset, why would he go 12 rounds with one of the hardest punching hws and risk to eat damaging shots?

 

and stand in range with his hands by his waist and his chin in the air. Apparently that's what you do when you're trying to survive
