    haye is **** at hw (but given hw is **** anyway, it makes him more significant than wlads **** opponents).

    bear no bones though, he is ****.

    man, the hw division has descended into a discussion of who is least ****, you know its bad when that happens.

    I honestly couldn't care, he fights at most once a year, he has conned the fans so often, in his biggest fight he did **** all and ran for 12 rounds despite talking so much **** before the fight, he then goes and blames his toe lol, He is no longer relevant as far as i'm concerned and weather he fights again or not i couldn't care less.

    I was impressed with his KO of Chisora-he had the last laugh on that one.

    David Haye is similar to a case of herpes. He just won't go away!

    Because the division is desperate for anyone entertaining.

    Not at all. IMO it's not about entertainment, IMO the division is desperate for contenders who are hard working, fighting 3-4 times a year against top 25 contenders, always in shape, working their way to mandatory title shots without ducking anyone.

    What we had too much in this division (and Haye was part of the problem) were contenders who were trying to talk themselves into a title shot, barely fighting, trying to evade any risk. Fury tried the same thing and it backfired badly on him. Wilder is another prime example.

    This has nothing to do with the ability to entertain. It's more a matter of work ethic and the realization that you have to fight an uphill battle to the top -- there are no shortcuts.

    This :deal

    He can't even be regarded as a top contender anymore with all his inactivity and a serious injury. If he's serious about another run at a title then he needs to set up some warm up fights to get rid of the rust. Inactivity has destroyed any credibility he had as a contender.

    Povetkin has fought multiple eliminators at HW (Chambers, Byrd, Chagaev). Haye? Zilch.
