David Haye is the PERFECT example...if David Haye loved boxing, respected boxing, and truly wished to do well in the sport he's talented enough to make that happen.....BUT he seems to enjoy running his mouth more and being in front of camera. So I would agree with Lennox Lewis, he enjoys what boxing affords him and he is not in boxing to prove anything about himself or to the fans.
For fucks sake....

So those 90 odd amateur bouts, including silverware at the highest level, and "world" titles in two weight divisions, is the "perfect example" of an underachiever that showed no love or respect for boxing and just conned his way to a few quid.

You'll find this hard to believe but David Haye actually existed before he challenged the Klitschkos. He didn't just appear out of thin air.
Belts and amateur careers don't mean you love boxing it just means talent, if Mikey Garcia becomes a great no one will be shocked he wanted to be a cop he doesn't love boxing.
