Agree with all of that, but for Haye to have been taken as a serious contender for a World title , he would've had to blow Bellew out of there very handily inside 5 or 6 rounds.
Even if he hadn't got injured and eventually stopped Bellew late on, that wouldn't be good enough to suggest Haye was ready for a World title shot.
I see where youre coming from
thing is, id like to see the fight again because I think the injury was there well before the fight and haye was unable to train, he was clearly fit but it didn't look like he had done much boxing
I might be wrong, they might fight again and it might take him 10 rounds to get to bellew which would prove what you are saying
I would watch the fight again but I don't think I'd pay for it next time, I can imagine it being a bit of a damp squib in the build up, they can't run around threatening to decapitate each other and kill each others kids and stuff now that they have pretty much declared their undying love for each other, the rematch would largely rely on revenge without the animosity.
You watch them build up this to be another based on the injury, where Haye would say it made the difference and Bellew saying it did not and that he had his own injury to contend with.
Suckers like eric with fall for it and it will end up as another PPV box office fight.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
