What did Haye do to cause all the hate?

A lot of people overlook the Haye is an outstanding boxer with lethal power and a reckless attitude to fighting. He's got a big mouth, but for 22-1 he's been in some exciting tear-ups, and managed to more-or-less unify a division.

We have a heavyweight division full of slow, ponderous out-of-shape has-beens and dull eastern european guys who fight in that boring former communist-bloc amatuer style, not the Kiltschko's coz I respect them, but Lyakovich, Dimitrenko, Chagaev, Ibragimov, who aren't very exciting either. A guy like Haye could clean up in this division, outside of the Klitschko brothers at least.

He's got good handspeed and boxing ability, dont forget he was a seasoned amatuer winning a silver at the world championships to Oliander Solis, and when he wants to he can box pretty well. Against 40-something overweight heavyweight's he'll have a field day his speed advantage. Also, from his amateur experience, he's got a record of beating eastern european amateur champions from being a 14 year old amateur. His 50 second KO of Alexander Gurov shows this perfected. In the current Heavyweight climate he could really do some damage.

Also, a lot of people are accusing Haye of being a coward, but think on, this guy unifed a division in 20 fights. He turned down a multi-million pound deal with Frank Warren because he wanted to take the tough fights, and didn't want to end up like Joe Calzaghe or Enzo Mac fighting bums and taxi drivers. He called out Wlad Klitschko as soon as he moved up, and has said non-stop that he wants the Klitschko.

I think he's going to dispatch Valuev, who is far far too slow to prevent Haye from unloading on him at will, with devastating ease, and it will force Klitschko into signing for a "unification" fight.
