It's hard to describe to those that havent boxed competitively and you can all try and give me shit for saying that but unless you've tried to throw right hands in a bout you won't know how it feels to go through the mechanics. Maybe someone else who's boxed could comment? But in my opinion which is based on experience and the fact Haye wouldn't have had the use of his right calfs there is no way he could have balance to punch let alone push off with force to throw a right hand.
People can do all kinds of things with a serious injury. My wife had a similar injury to what Haye had. I told her to go to the hospital and sort it out, but she thought she knew better and limped around for a few days, went to work, and tried to continue as normal. Ended up needing a pretty big operation to fix it up. Just an ordinary person. Someone like Haye, an athlete, buzzing on adrenaline and in the midst of a fight would have been able to do what he did. He did it and the evidence is out there showing the injury was genuine. You sound like a plonker talking like you are here. 'You guys don't know boxing blah, blah, blah'. Plenty of us have been around people who have had similar injuries and seen exactly what they can or can't do. Haye was throwing punches, but he wasn't generating the same kind of leverage at all. I'm not sure he was 100% to begin with.
