Again, I doubt that Haye's syntax/grammar suffered as a result of anything Wlad did or said, it just isn't up to your high standard and unless Haye is planning on hiding a dictionary in his gloves, that a highly developed grasp of the English language is going to help him much in the ring.

I guess it all comes down to what your priorities are and what you put stock in... The David Haye's of the world are probably happy enough making millions than they would be with having a highly developed grasp of English but they pro ably won't waste their time talking about your lack of physical development or accomplishment either... why would they? It's not something that you've chosen to pursue and vice versa.

Bottom line is that Haye's grammar has fuck all to do with this fight... I can't believe it's being discussed... Ridiculous.
I am extremely intelligent, but i just be bothered. Haye has awful grammar, the fact that you can't see it speaks volumes. But no it isn't important and I am busy tonight anyway.

It's a basic point about fundamental linguistics and that fact is that Wlad speaks better English than Haye.

Do we really care about this? I could get into the finer points of language if you really want, but as you realise it doesn't really matter.
I could easily say that the fact that you place so much importance in Haye's grammar and laud your supposed knowledge of the English language over others speaks volumes about you, no?

But it's not even that I can't see that Haye doesn't speak text book English... I'm just not bothered by it.

Why would I be?
Miles, if you were extremely intelligent you'd probably realise that this is a boxing forum... not a linguistics forum. I don't really want to debate whether or not basic social skills fall under the same spectrum as what you would define as intellect though, we'll save that for another day.

The fact remains -

The only thing going into the ring next week are each man's boxing skills... their grammar skills will have their feet up watching the fight on TV.

It would be quite interesting to assess the grammar of some of your favorite boxers and see how well they score... actually fuck it... no it wouldn't.

This is a boxing board.
