Fanaticism aside, folks..... it's this question that hasn't really been answered yet. When did Haye start boxing professionally.... last week? C'mon man... Even a 5-year old knows enough not to needlessly expose himself to that kind of injury just before a big fight. That it's not the biggest fight of Haye's career? That's debatable at this point.... but two things: One... Haye's credibility in big fights isn't exactly spotless. And two... it's a professional prizefight, nonetheless. One for which a lot of people are paying a lot of money for. What kind of disrespectful, inconsiderate moron spars that close to the fight and exposes himself to the kind of huge gash he's proudly displaying for the cameras? Haye might have truckloads of talent... but he makes up for it with suspicious injuries (remember "Toe-gate") and senseless and inconsiderate (to his fans) behavior.
