When David met Wlad..

[erics44]

Did you mean David Hype? Some of you Brits must really love this clown, because never has a "big name" fighter gotten so much attention, while accomplishing so little.

It's sad to see some of you still hanging on haye's nuts and/or still buying the hype.

this isnt true, it happens over and over again

boxing is all about hype

And when the actions follow, and back up the hype, all is well and good.
But when it doesn't, it rings hollow and makes the fighter look like a fool.
Fans that continue to buy the "snake-oil salesman" pitch don't look too good, either.

you are right, the outcome of this kind of hype around a fighter varies from hyped fighter to hyped fighter

and in the example of david haye a lot of people switched off to his potential following the wlad fight and are very angry about how he performed (you seem to be one of these)

there are a lot of people who still believe haye is the best chance (in a shit crop of fighters) we have got to seeing a klit toppled , i am also of this opinion as slim as this chance is

yeah haye didnt perform in that fight, but if we analise the fight and only the fight, haye was away from home fighting a man several inches taller, a lot heavier, with many more world title fights of that magnitude under his belt in comparison, and if your honest you would agree the refereeing isnt exactly neutral, and haye still landed more punches than most, maybe next time with the extra experience he could get a little bit closer
