    Hard to generate power when your body doesn't allow you to fully commit to the shot. A one legged Haye is not the KO artist the fully fit younger version was.

    Haye must have badly needed the money as he has fought twice clearly injured.

    Naaaah

    Haye was bouncing around like Zebedee in his prime in the first two rounds.

    Once Haye was caught and dropped his legs went and he never recovered, his knees were like jelly.

    A good illustration of how limited Haye was tonight- just look at his movement in the Klit fight...

    there are laws against this type of thing. if haye was not in condition to pass a prefight physical, he is endangering his life more than the commissions are prepared to be liable for. somebody is committing fraud.

    Boxers who rely heavily on their punching power must have good chins if they want to last long in the sport. David Haye has never had a solid chin, his athleticism allowed him to get in and out of range quickly but this problem would have shown up once he became a stationary fighter.

    Only the great Vitali has come back from two serious injuries - knee and shoulder. Eternal One. :sisi2:

    How old was he then? He has aged, his style of fighting isn't and wasn't built for longevity, it was built on speed and explosiveness and that's why he always said he wanted to retire at 31, he knew he wasn't built to last.

    But it's your opinion and you might be right, I'm not a Dr.

    I though Haye would have won this one but he looked slow from the get go and he was slow in those exchanges which was why he got caught..

    Probs was a bit early stoppage in the UK who would have guessed) but Haye was done and well out of his depth...

    Pretty sad way to end his career tbh but he is a shell of what he once was..

    Physically shot fighter isn’t up to his previous level. As predicted Bellew repeated his first fight performance but this time far more impressive.

    Both of them will retire after this.
