    I've watched Hayes' career from the start and can't help but be a fan, he's a talented fighter and 90% of his fights have had me on the edge of my seat..

    The Hayeters choose to only concentrate on his few poor performances.

    However

    He's talked a lot of **** that he hasn't backed up.
    He's far too inactive.
    Him and Booth are smug horrible ****s.
    The toe :-(

    I saw the thread where you requested the ban. You were probably the only regular who had never been banned.

    I'm not banned from there, but I like a change from time to time so I'm posting here today.

    Option 2.

    But he is better than "decent."

    I chose talented fighter who's been great for the heavyweight division. Let's face it, whilst the Klitschko's are undeniably good and dominant outside of Germany and Eastern Europe they struggle to gain fans as they're boring in and out of the ring. Haye at least brings excitement and gets people talking good or bad, he's a poor mans heavyweight version of Floyd Mayweather, not in the way he fights but he's a good at selling and it can be argued he doesn't have a great resume for his talent

    This:good
    However, i wish he would stop talking and just fight. Fury, wilder, charr, **** anyone.

    Clean out the division like you said you would. stop fighting once every 12-18 months.

    I think haye is very talented a great athlete that is wasting his talent but talking instead of fighting

    Option 2, although like someone said.. he is to be considered better than "decent".

    - 2 weight world champ
    - Proven in drumming up interest in fights (Enzo, Audley, Wlad, Valuev, Chisora).
    - Pound for pound, you could argue he's the hardest puncher currently in the sport.
    - Has been involved in exciting fights.

    Talented fighter who's been great for the heavyweight division. Without him the Klits would have no one to duck and who's name they could use to keep them in the public eye.

    how many other cruiserweights have beaten big big fighters?

    other heavyweights pick cruisers to pad out theyre 0.

    polls looking like 2/3rds of the forum give him a thumbs up :)

    Now, now Cook, I never said that. But the fact is the talk about him 99% of the time. If he weren't important to them they wouldn't bother talking about him, right?

    His run at heavyweight is only highlighted by the beating of Chisorra. The stinker against Valuev (which I felt he lost, unlike Holyfield), a beating of a shadow of Ruiz, shot to **** Barret, a face against Afarce, and the whateverthehell the fight with Klitschko was, all speaks volumes of his character. Haye desperately wants to be great, but he hates putting in the work and he would rather talk than fight. Plus he is dreadful against quality tall men (non-british)
