    As a spectacle an absolutely terrible fight to watch in my opinion, but still not as bad as Audley vs Williams 1.

    lol nah I thought it was a great fight. Really showed the best of Manny. He stood there and traded as much as possible with a big welterweight in Cotto. Miguel was the one that wanted to box more which I found a little strange but I guess not too surprising considering how good Pacquiao is/was.

    As for most John Ruiz fights.. zzzzzzzz

    I don't think the fight was that bad really, Haye knew Valuev is way too big and slow to catch him so he played it safe. Haye used good skills to hit and not get hit, thats what boxing is. Did Valuev actually get him cleanly? Not every heavyweight title fight can be Bowe-Holyfield sadly.

    Quality display of boxing off the back foot if you ask me.

    Jim Watt, as usual, had decided how the fight was going to go beforehand and was commentating to his script.

    Haye wasn't running. Walking pace may look like running against someone as slow as Valuev. What did you want him to do slowly move away and let Niko catch him every time? Like someone else said it was a perfect display of boxing really just wasn't that entertaining to watch mainly because of how dull and big Nikolay Valeuv is.

    No it's not. It's instructive purely in how Haye's mouth wrote cheques his trousers couldn't cash.

    Boxers throw punches now n again. Running away isn't boxing off the back foot. It's running away.

    Not once did he actually 'run' though. He may have boxed off the back foot but he didn't once jog to the other side of the ring say like Dirrell often does for example. He moved a lot. Against someone a foot taller than you I'd say that's a pretty good gameplan and well executed. Do you really think Haye would have been able to win with any other strategy? Because up close with someone that size he comes off second best everytime
