    haye has got his faults but he can't take the blame if the bellew fight happens.

    It reminds me so much of the Enzo and Audley fights. haye told us pre fight it was easy fights, mismatches but the public clamoured for those fights so they happened. In my mind he get a free pass.


    He even gets a free pass on his last two fights since he was on his comeback, **** look at some of the soft touches most British fighters comeback off a loss to or have a long lay off.

    The one issue I don't like about Haye was toe gate, it was so cringe and embarrassing. He got beat fair and square, Wlad footwork undone Haye that night, he just couldn't get in range

    Na nobody is holding a gun to Haye's head. He didn't have to fight Harrison, he didn't have to fight the last two bums and he doesn't have to fight Bellew.

    Haye goes where the money is.

    For the life of me i dont get the haye hate. Two poor opponents for his comeback but lets be honest he doesnt have a backer as such atm. He cant afford to get decent names across fighting on dave.

    Always been an all action fighter that gave value for money till the heavyweight days where the guys were maybe a bit too big for him. No choice but to alter tactics. Atm hes being froze out because hes too good for his own good.

    Ultimately still one of britains best fighters. Entertaining with a big punch speed and most importantly boxing iq.

    Haye takes his head off.... and in the words of Tony Bellew, IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

    But if it is a total mismatch should Haye take the flak as usual.

    Don't really like either of them. Why does bellew want to fight heavyweights anyway?

    Too many top quality boxers have made comebacks or carried on too long, and been beaten by inferior fighters whom in their prime they would have destroyed.

    Off the top of my head, Tyson, Roy Jones Jnr, Ricky Hatton etc who were absolute quality in their heyday tried to get themselves back to how they was, and failed terribly. All three of them (I'm sure people could reel off many more and better examples) lost that edge, not just physically but mentally.

    The Haye of 4 years ago would have been way too much for Bellew and I acknowledge that. But I don't think Haye has that edge anymore. Money isn't enough of a motivator to get it back, you have to really want it bad, and I don't think he's motivated by the glory anymore.

    Pointless fight for Haye but a nice easy payday and Haye loves those.

    Bellew better hope he gets a Haye day because Breidis will smash him just as bad as Haye will and Bellew will get peanuts fighting him.

    Bellew is not a bad fighter he is underrated tbh but he isn't on Haye or Breidis's level.

    I like the look of Breidis he's tough and can bang, I don't think he's the best boxer but I have him as the best cruiserweight 50/50 with Usyk
