My point is that if you're not in it to be the best then why do it, and that's with any vocation not just the professional athletes. To quote former NFL coach Herm Edwards "You play to win the game." It's a waste of time and effort to not try and be the best and my argument is that David Haye isn't trying to be the best, he isn't trying to be remembered as a great and therefore he's a waste of time, he's 100% focused on money and that being the case I don't think he should be a boxer.
