David Haye,biggest star in British boxing!

Its amazing what one fight can do for you.

Before he beat Valuev Haye was only known to sports fans but now he is a house hold name in Britain and is in the papers almost every day and seems to be on the tv on a lot as well.

He was on the Jonathan Ross show last night and came across well.


Its great for British boxing,I cant remember a British fighter having so much attention from the non-sport media.
Even if you dont think he is a good boxer you have to accept that a new star has been born.(in Britain at least)

I am glad for Britain and if it can spark some more interests into boxing, it's good for everybody. I still do not like the guy much though and I am still certain he'll got sparked quite soon again.

He was funny on the Ross show, should have had a longer slot. It was on during the Hatton fight which was boring so switched over.

I recorded the Hatton fight but haven't watched it yet. I heard on the radio this morning though that in one of the undercard fights both fighters put each other down for the count simultaneously!

I've always wondered...how does Haye stack up to a person formerly of his position as "England's Champion of the Fans" Frank Bruno?

Frank was loved by millions for over a decade who shared every success and failure with him.

Haye will be a one hit wonder and lucky to get an interview on the Don Omega show after John Ruiz beats him.

If there was a Haye-Bruno fight who would win? Prime for Prime of course

Haye is a falling star with a big mouth, but this most people already realize.
I think Bruno would have KO'd Haye with little effort in his prime - even the prime Bruno that fought Tyson in 89'.

Haye is just a loud mouth that loves the sound of his own voice, which will undoubtedly soon be silenced.

Yep Cello Renda - Paul Samuels. Renda up at 4, Samuels up at 9 1'2. Samuels stopped him soon after. Cracking fight.

I'd go with Haye. Too fast and hard hitting for Bruno IMO.

Agreed, Haye would box and wait for Bruno to gas out and stop him late.

People forget Haye unified the cruiserweight division, that's quite an achievment.

He then beat a guy who has only ever lost once and never been shaken.

I actually think Haye can be quite funny and think he has the skills to be very succesful. He looks far better now than he ever has done, so I'm not sure how anyone can say he's in decline?? :rolleyes:

Haye on Jonathan Ross was painful. He missed a high five then got punched in the bollocks by a dwarf!

People see what they want to see.


The crowd in the studio seemed to like him and he got a few laughs.
