Haye said to ESPN I never heard of him before. I had to check his record and it was pretty shocking to be honest. The only standout name on his record is Frans Botha, who he struggled to be on points he [Wladimir] would never fight a sparring partner that would give him any kinds of problems. He did exactly what he needed. He made sure he went 5 or 6 rounds so he was maximizing his sponsorship revenue. He could have gotten rid of the guy in the 1st round if he so chose to, but there might have been that 5 percent risk. He might have missed and got caught with a counter punch. I believe that will hurt his legacy.
How this guy still has fans amazes me. Not only does Haye not have any type of legacy at heavyweight at all, he's still got the nerve to talk about the Klitschko brothers. Aside from what the state of the heavyweight division is in now, the Klitschko brothers will at least be remembered as kings of the heavyweight division. Haye on the other hand had fought nobody, talked his way into a title fight with Wladimir and got humiliated and blamed it on his pinky toe. He also had 2 times to prove himself against Vitali and ran away scared both times. Now he is trying to talk himself into a fight with a much older Vitali in hopes he can beat him. This guy, and his heavyweight career is a joke. Why does anyone like him?
I actually like Haye, but he's not allowed to comment on anything Wladamir. He had his chance and he came up short. Time to move on.
i feel he could have had a say until he came into the ring against wlad and did nothing but continously attempt to give him a blowjob.. especially after talking about how boring wlad is... he really put the nail in the coffin when he couldent deliver on all the talking he did pre fight
Yes, and still relevant on this thread. Haye is a joke and has done nothing but talked for years and years. It's beyond old now.
Wlad just fought a guy who literally has no balls. Fair play to Pianeta for over coming terrible adversity and getting in there with Wlad and giving it his all, but how can anyone enjoy watching this garbage. BTW, Haye should keep his gob shut.
I remember shortly after the fight, the threads from his fans about being duped by Haye riddled this forum. Some saying they would never fall for crap like that again. Now, less than 2 years later, some of the same fans hype him up like never before.
When Gaye fans post the same stupid **** everywehere, it is normal to expect the same arguments in return.
It is more important that Wladimir humbled Gaye easily and it is clear that Gaymaker is impressed by that.
Haye is right. I'd never heard of this guy either. It was just another easy payday for wlad and he dumb fans swallow that tripe
