    You make the call.

    Both guys had to postpone scheduled fights because of their injuries. Which injury do you think is more legitimate/illegitimate and why?

    Both are legit. Haye's getting in there with a guy who has a good jab, if his back isn't in good shape he will be forced to quit on the stool. Plus, with a broken rib your stamina will be cut in half as you can't breath correctly.

    I think the Haye injury sucks for us worse only because the HW division needs the excitement alot more.

    Good point.

    I think a lot of people were really upset that the fight was called off. Likely more so than for the PBF-JMM fight. I don't think anyone much felt JMM had a chance, whereas a good number felt Haye could beat Wlad.

    I think plenty of people are not convinced of the legitimacy of either guy's injuries. :hat

    I don't think either of them has a legit injury, so I can't say who's is worse. We just have to see what the future holds for these two guys.

    It's funny how people criticized Wlad for Haye pulling out of the fight. :roll: Can't wait to see Haye at the fight this weekend.

    David Haye on the other hand gets absolutely no flak at all...
