Re: Haye v Chisora will happen after all.
Although I probably did predict Haye would get stopped it was in lieu of him seeming determined to press the fight, which as it turned out was far more grossly overrated than anything else people expected. I really didn't care on a personal level, but in the entire lead up he ran his mouth offf insisting he wouldn't do exactly what he did, I just have a hard time giving him any credit for that.
Re: Haye v Chisora will happen after all.
He doesn't, but I think I've explained why people thought he would actually give Wlad less caution than he gave fucking valuev and it had nothing to do with their assessment of either guy's boxing abilities and styles and 100% to do with prefight hype, personalities and their own wishful thinking of wanting to see Haye hurt - exactly what we are seeing here
Re: Haye v Chisora will happen after all.
The way some people on here continue to defend David Haye is beyond belief. And anyone who dares say anything to the contrary is immediately labeled a “hater”. Let’s just state some facts (to use one of these people’s favorite words).
Fact #1: Haye talked a truckload of shit before the fight. How he was going to destroy Wlad… how Wlad wasn’t worthy… how he (Haye) was so much better… blah, blah, blah. Any disputing that? No, I didn’t think so. Let’s move on.
Fact #2: Haye did not even attempt to make a fight of it. He stayed away the entire fight… never brought the fight to Wlad… even went so far as to blame a “toe” for his misfortunes. Any disputing THAT? If so… you’re blind and ignorant about boxing. Now, here’s where Haye f*cked up. You’ve got all the time in the world to come up with a feasible excuse after your disgraceful showing. He could’ve blamed his shoulder… a knee… whatever. But his toe?!?!? Hey… I know toe injuries can be painful (chuckle)… but you’re in a world heavyweight championship fight, for crying out loud. Suck it up, dude.
Fact #3: No… Wlad didn’t come out with guns blazing, going for the knockout. Why should he? He wasn’t the one doing the shit talking. He’s not the one trying to wrestle the championship belt away from the other. He normally fights cautiously. Everyone knows that. So why try to slide the blame button over to Wlad’s side? It’s not gonna work. Haye gets ALL the blame, and then some.
You know the worst part? Blind Haye fans must hold a world record for the biggest double standard. Had anyone but the “former British heavyweight hope” done the same thing, these same fans would be going at him like piranhas, slobbering at the mouth. But because it was their beloved David Haye that did it… somehow they find a way to defend him. I suspect there’s a lucrative career in law for someone in that bunch.
Finally, the worst argument of all. The one that says that we should’ve all known better. That Haye took us all for ride. He built up the fight… he generated revenues… he generated interest in the heavyweight division again. Give me a f*cking break, people. Really? Is that your argument? How pathetic. So it’s ok for a fighter to willfully deceive the boxing public, and like a snake-oil salesman bilk people out of their hard-earned money with the promise of a good show, only to put forth a disgraceful display of cowardice unparalleled in boxing history? The joke’s on us? (Well, not on me… I didn’t pay for the fight). Wow… give yourselves a round of applause. That’s what boxing’s all about, right? Bullshit.

Who said the Wlad fight was anything to brag about? ???

No... he's not the first to talk crap before a fight. And no... he's not the first to take the "coward route" once the fight begins.
But... if there is such a thing as a "crap-talking-to-actual-performance" ratio... David Haye is the absolute KING. Talked up a storm and worked up his poor fans into a frenzy... only to run like a bitch-slapped whore while mumbling some pathetic excuse about stubbing his toe.

Nope, but I'm talking about now.
Re: Haye v Chisora will happen after all.
Anyone that takes what boxers say "literally" is extremely naive. Lets be honest.
All boxers regurgitate the same old shit over and over again when selling a fight.
You've never heard anyone say - "it's gonna be a boring fight," "I don't think I can win," "my training camp has been bad," "I'll be weakened at that catchweight" etc
Every fight is gonna be exciting. Every fighter is gonna win (most by KO). Every fighter has had the best training camp ever and is in the best shape of their life. Blah, blah, blah.
