I couldn't disagree with you any more.

As a CW he was focused and was the top in the world.

Then he won a HW world title.

He has lost interest, but to say he "doesn't have the stomach for it" is asinine.
I don't think it is really, but that's just me. I like Haye enough, he's very athletic and explosive but doesn't really like to fight going by his in ring demeanour and how woefully inactive he has been. A pro for 10 odd years with 20 something fights, that's not someone who is on a mission now is it. The CW division was and is a steaming pile of junk and Haye really only had a few notable fights there, still managing to get badly shaked up more than a few times against far inferior guys physically. The truth is that Wlad is the only fighter who he didn't hold immense advantages over in his career, and he ran scared. I think it's perhaps mostly his just knowing full well he can't be taking decent HW punches, so up for interpretation and all. Certainly the guy isn't fearless though.
