How will history remember David Haye?

The toe.

 

Teenage girl in male body.

 

when history is asked about david haye, history will reply "who is david haye?"

 

There wil be no legacy.

 

probably as a good fighter who talked a good game but came up short

 

I love it

 

Hear, hear

 

How would he be remembered if the Vlad fight had never happened.

I reckon alot more among the british boxing fans who thaught he stood a chance. we would be forever tormented with threads about how Vlad ducked David and that he would have destroyed him.

As things stand i reckon hell be forgotten pretty fast. Its not like his cruiser weight resume is even that good. Enzo is just balls.

I reckon as things stand

 

He had a good run. As a cruiser he is perhaps Top 10 atg worthy, but that's because the division is new. If you counted all the many heavyweights of the past that fought at 200 then I suppose Haye is not Top 10 atg, cause he didn't accomplish enough.

He's definitely not 2nd behind Holy, as Booth would have it. To do that Haye would have needed to defend the titles more than once. Haye's legacy as a cruiser is questionable imo because I'm unsure he beats Adamek at that weight (though I believe Haye annihilates Adamek at heavy). Prime Adamek would land and dodge more shots than Fragomeni, be quicker, and probably have more stamina than Haye in the late rounds. We don't have enough evidence to really evaluate Haye as a cruiser.

I don't believe in the retirement. Haye will be back in the mix before 2012 is over. Hopefully he'll fight in the USA against Adamek or Arreola--that is what the fans want to see. Haye's best weight is 210-15. He should come back, ignore K2, and fight the best guys his own size.

 

as a loudmouth british fraud.

 

Tough to say

He did beat the man at Cruiser Mormeck and then unify but he didnt really stay at the weight long enough to go down in history as one of the best there

he only had 2 title fights

at HWT he won the title vs Valuev in a real hard to like kinda manner, then he stopped the ever tough Ruiz dropped him twice though the stoppage itself was crap, then he blasted over matched Audley, and then in his biggest fight vs Wlad he flopped

he will be remembered more for his personality and appeal than for his boxing i assume

 

its tough for me to put Haye high at cruiser

when Gomez and Jirov and Nelson all had long reigns with many defense

he gets legacy help cause he is one of the few cruisers to ever unify

he just doesnt have many title fights

 

He'll get into the hall, his unification at Cruiser and winning the belt at Heavy. As well as being the toughest fight that Klitschko had during his title reign ensures that. I would have liked him to fight Adamek and Arreola before leaving to lock it up but he's done enough.

 

Toe-tally worthless.

 

Fraud, who talked a bigger game than he fought.

I never thought he was that good, and he got way top much credit for fighting another fraud in Enzo Macaroni.
