Correct. Seeing you get sparked out would be beyond great.
...WOW it sounds like I have David Haye-esque popularity ;D
Now just imagine me running away and crying like a little girl to the ref for 12 rounds and tell me you wouldn't feel ripped off ;D
That's a bad idea. You'll get vilified even more than being knocked unconcious. Because no one laughs at knocked out fighters. No one would make sigs or gifs and reminisce at your brain damage over and over again.

I may not know you personally Lyle, but somehow I doubt your ability to escape Wlad for 12 rounds. ;)
Re: Former Haye Fans perspective.
Haye should retire he likes the limelight, talks a good fight but fails to deliver and cries when he loses. I do not think he has what it takes to start again and fight his way up the rankings and earn a title shot. He has talked himself up too much, and eating humble pie is not in his nature. If Haye is not prepared to knuckle down and fight worthy opponents like Arelleo and Chiseroa then he should do the decent thing and retire. Haye does not deserve a rematch with that performance.
Haye fought in the comfort zone, not taking too much risks and not really setting the pace with his punches and testing Wlad’s resolve. He was content to try and land the lucky right hand punch, but Wlad was too experienced to fall for that one shot. Haye was fighting for his legacy and he went out with a whimper.

I was pretty embarrassed by his performance and lack of aggression on Saturday night, but was willing to accept that Wlad was much the better fighter and easily deserved the win.
What really got my back up, was the "little toe waving" and excuse making from Haye.
You are a heavyweight world champion, who has just been schooled by a much bigger and better opponent, just accept it, show a little humility and respect, and go home.
Waving the life threatening toe injury around straight after the fight, when the adrenaline is still pumping is one thing. But to stand on the desk at a press conference a few hours later is something totally different.
Surely a doctor or his management should have told Haye, that the best cure for a broken toe is to man the fuck up!
If Haye continues boxing, and holds his next fight at the bottom of my garden, I will draw the curtains.
If he does get a rematch, I hope Wlad bangs him on his arse in the first round.
Yours Sincerely

Have your 3rd cool click on the post from me, and loads of respect for manning up.
While it's cool to have blind Haye fans in here still defending the guy and livening up the place, it's also refreshing to find someone who can see facts for what they are.
Cheers.
