    You guys with your idiotic nationalistic and racial generalities are ruining the reputation of ESB far more than Mr. (Fraud) Haye does to his fellow countrymen.

    Many even outside of Britan were picking Haye, most in a kneejerk response to the boredom of the current state of the HW division more likely than because they thought he would.

    Stop the trolling threads about nationalism and racisim, they have nothing to do with the individual at hand, Haye is an embarrasment to himself not his countrymen!

    Most people were Haye fans purely cause he shared the dislike of the Klitschkos like many other fans.

    How many idiots where here wearing their union jack tinted sunglasses ,claiming how Haye was going to destroy both Klitschkos and easily? Despite all the logical evidence sugesting otherwise, considering Hayes toal **** performaces against Valuev and Ruiz. Haye was the ****ing betting favorite, come on.

    And that hurts the rep of British boxing how???? Cheering for and picking someone because of geography is not new...it does not diminish or increase a nations rep either way!!!! That is the point of the thread...not whether Brits cheered for or Picked Haye????

    It don't effect the other fighters. Should it effect Froch, Khan, or others absolutely not.

    It is a refelection of the the amount ****ing dumbass English boxing fans. David Haye had the British fans and the british media bent over backwards taking it listening to his bull****. And it was it all ****ing nonsense. When it came to fight Haye showed nothing, but how to survive. They thought he was going to knock Wlads head off early, he was going to fight like Mike Tyson. Haye was the favorite.

    Watch his fights vs. Valuev, Harrison and Wlad and there's your answer. Haye cares about his bank account, not about glory. Good for him, good riddance.

    Anyone who attaches a single fighters success or failure, behaviour good or bad to a nationality is frankly a simpleton who is unable to grasp the simple fact that every nation has their share of detestable figures.

    The OP is a trolling idiot by posing a loaded question.

    Nationalism like this is ruining the sport we all love. Let's all bash the Brits, go on.. drive them out of boxing, who is next? The Russians perhaps? Drive them all out, ridicule their fighters. Next? USA..

    Froch will lose but that's balls. British boxing does well domestically on small hall shows and there's been a lot of competitive domestic fights lately. Plus Maclkin did great against Sturm and even though Khan has poor management, he's doing well in the ring.
