    He was shockin bad in the Mayweather fight, we turned him off and turned on commentary from the internet.

    I quite like Jim Watt..

    Reason why so many people are pissed off, is because the Truth Hurts.

    David Haye did not win the fight in my opinion.

    He was horrible, his job is to give an objective assessment of the fight, not base his commentary on what he perceived to be in the mind of judges in Germany.

    That's a bad habit he's got.

    I still prefer Watt's critical observations to mindless cheerleading anyday, such as BBC 5 live's commentary of Valuev-Haye. Watt's probably better off just in the studio nowadays.

    ...Michael Buffer once introduced Watt before a fight as Jim Scott from Wattland! Darke brought it up during one broadcast & Watt muttered "never forgive him for that, Ian.."

    His comment last night that Valuev creates more power punching down than Haye punching upwards tells you all you need to know about Watt as a commentator.

    I'm a David Haye fan, but come on man...? A 46 year old Evander Holyfeild did a better job than David Haye.

    David Haye's punch out put, was like what..? on average 10 punches a round.

    He hurt his hand ok..

    I'm glad David Haye got the decision, but he should of done better..!!!!!

    What people remember most, is how you achieve your achievements.

    Thats why Mike Tyson is so notorious.

    David Haye won his first heavyweight title, in a fight where he hardly threw any punches, hardly landed..and many people know in their minds.

    That "The beast" deep down won the fight.

    But i'm Glad he was given the decision.

    David Haye.!

    If you think that, you clearly don't understand that Valuev was useless and landed next to nothing on Haye. Who, conversely, was landing more.
