    What ****ing idiot ever compared Haye to Benn?

    Haye's done some brilliant things in his career which has been totally under Booth's control. Also, Groves beating DeGale was a very good feather in Booth's cap. Lay off him. Haye/Booth lost to the best HW out there with 90% of the attributes stacked against him - so what? You think he should just pack it in or something?

    Give the man a ****ing break. His little toe, the littlest of toes was clearly swollen. He couldn't explode off his right foot.

    They both were two very explosive, in your face, go for it, no holds barred, fighters in their day, clearly you have a very short memory and just remember this HW version of Haye.

    Sorry Rob but I don't see much of a similarity apart from the fact that they're both black British men who happen to box.

    Haye is of mixed race.

    Anyway, POW, I have to say I disagree, earlier on in my humble opinion, Haye was a very exciting in your face aggressive boxer, sadly a lot of that has gone from his game as he's stepped up.

    Sure, I understand a lot of his game is built on counter punching unlike Benn, who'd lead with ridiculous punches at times. Anyway, was just speaking more in a power punching, aggressive style type manner. I can understand why you might not agree.
