    I know he's been shooting his mouth off and a lot of people on here think he'll get his arse handed to him but it seems like people hate him for everything other than his boxing skills. Can't people, (Ruskull being one of the main haters) give him credit for his ability? I understand that he rubs a lot of people up the wrong way but he's proved himself to be a more than competent fighter and this fight could put him another category altogether, ( apologetic loser or World Heavyweight Champ for example). It just seems a shame that a lot of what is being said comes down to people hating him because he's British, (and he likes the sound of his own voice). I think he's far from being a "*** Brit". C'mon people, wait for the fight and if he can't back up his words then by all means, tear him apart. Oh, and for the record, I'm not a huge Haye fan, just a little tired of people not giving credit where it is due.

    I dont understand all the hate. Like i don't understand the hate for most fighters. Looks like people like to hate and will find any reason to justify it.

    I respect Haye for his boxing skills but dislike him for his shittalk.

    What is mostly annoying is that Haye fans try to build Haye to be the "saviour". He has to prove himself at HW and those "fans" say that he is the best HW out there. That is just Nuthugging. Every time you try to discuss seriously the answer is "Haye in 2" or "a fat Lewis nearly killed Vitaly"...

    Black athetes who talk **** always get a lot of hate thrown their way. Plus, add in the fact that the Klit fans are a very sensitive bunch and always jump on anyone who shoots down their fighters, particularly Wlad, and you get a perfect storm of haters.

    Myself personally I don't mind Haye or the **** he talks. In fact, I'm starting to like him more and more anytime every time speaks because really a lot of what he's been saying lately is basically true. He's just been saying what a lot of the general boxing public has been thinking.

    I dislike him because I feel he's a threat and I'm a Wlad fan. Naturally I won't approve of most things Haye does lol

    Hold on a minute. An honest answer without throwing an insult in. Am I still on ESB? Thanks Rudolph, that makes a refreshing change. I sill hope Haye wins though but I think that's down to national pride more than anything.

    Mostly it's hardcore Wlad fans who really "hate" Haye. These same people who hate on Haye now will give him tons of credit after the fight. If he wins they will make Haye out to be a murderous power puncher, just like they do with Sanders. A Wlad fan thinks of Sanders as some sort of atg, who simply preferred not to dominate the division; but randomly decided to unleash the greatness only vs W. Klitschko.
    If Haye loses, they will build up Haye into a credible threat to make Wlad look better. Which will be contrary to everything they say now, but it's exactly what will happen.

    Because when the fight is over win or lose he is going to completely contradict himself.

    Its a tired and stupid act that the ignorant wannabees gobble up like a baby to a tit. I can't believe how many fans think this kind of stuff really matters.

    But then P.T. Barnum pretty much proved there are a lot of suckers out their.

    Its really all an act for the suckers.

    I don't go looking all over the internet trying to find fishy photos of Haye, I don't misspell his name, I don't say "glass chin" a hundred times a day, I don't start an argument with a picture of Haye crawling on the canvas, I don't call brits blind and ignorant, etc, etc, etc... There must be something seriously wrong with me.
