Hate is a strong word to use for someone you don't personally know, he might be the nicest bloke ever. That said, I dislike Haye as a boxer for numerous reasons and couldn't care less if I never see him in a boxing ring again.
Didn't Haye post in the British forums here once? He was giving out signatures too. People might hate him, but he's just a salesman and maybe not even an *******... Foreman for example isn't very nice unless there are cameras around him.
I like Haye. He acts like a dickhead to sell fights but who really gives a ****? He gets overly criticised for his fight with Wlad, I don't know why, must be morons who don't even understand boxing. If by running you mean effectively slip the jab of, as some on here have said, the greatest HW jabber (or top 3) of all time then fine he "ran".
LOL Mualer, history is my fav humanity (as it's academically classified). Never heard of it :roll: Anybody, including whites, can be victims of racism - and I mean far worse than segregated public transportation :-( In this era! I just found it odd that when Sugar thought Johnson was a more hated fighter than Haye (and I agreed), that you dismissed it on Johnson's era. Btw, aside from the era, Johnson was no choir boy. I believe he even refused to defend his title vs worthy blacks. It was all about the $ for JJ. Perhaps you should do some thinking b4 posting - or at least frame your comment better. In some other boxing related issue we may agree. But wtf, this is a sports forum, where most act like keyboard warriors.
Dip ****...."if haye is not known outside the UK?".......You're from the usa .........but you know himatsch.........****ing REDNECK
I don't know who hates Haye. I think he is a good fighter. I think people have problems with guys like Haye who seem to have other things going on besides boxing, so they think how can he be so great and still be so outgoing. They want all fighters to be lke Hagler and be quiet and put himself in jail like he said he did for fights. Not everyone is like that.
Most hated fighter ever? Haye talked smack about Wladimir here and there, lost the fight and it's good night for him. He barely talked enough trash compared to others to even be listed.
Not enough know him globally/generally for him to be the "most hated ever". He went to Jamaica recently and needed Lennox Lewis to confirm he's a former heavyweight champion in a hotel.
It would be tough to top the hatred for Ali back in the mid-late 60's when he refused the draft and went all Black Muslim. Wasn't till he made his comeback and the public turned against the war that people began to like him. But man, after he beat Liston and during those years he was hated like no other athlete I have ever seen.
So because he is not known in a 3RD world island....it means his not known globally? 3/4 of people in Jamaica don't own tv's:rofl
