Did you guys hear that David Haye is back?

[ross]

So much for the retirement due to a " serious " shoulder injury.

If he comes back and doesn't attempt to arrange a fight with Fury, alot of our suspicions are true. He was scared shitless of Fury and wanted out.

Gotta say I agree with most of that... I used to be a big Haye fan with his non performance against Wlad starting to turn me off him as a fighter.

I mean you get a shot against the top man so go in and fucking fight him... no one would have thought any less of him if he got sparked out in the process.

Seriously pissed me off that night did Haye.

Doubt he was scared to fight Fury because he simply would have won by KO as soon as he landed a big right hand.

To be honest I really dont see where he goes from here unless he can somehow leapfrog everyone and get another fight with Wlad?

Or go the other route Wbc... but has he still got the bargaining power to leapfrog that route..?

Thing is that Haye/Booth are proper hustlers and very very very good at it so anythings possible when it comes to David

I agree he probably wasn't scared of fighting Fury as no one becomes a boxer if they are scared of a fight. Although its blatantly obvious he was scared of losing to Fury. Scared of losing future options, scared of losing that high esteem he has conned out of a certain naive section of fans.

If Fury fought Barrett, Harrison, and Ruiz one after the other a month apart he would get the shit ripped out of him in this forum for fighting such bums. Haye does it and not only are those fights acceptable, they are proof he is an amazing heavy. Then you have Valuev, Chisora and Wlad. Valuev most think he lost to, he put no effort in against Wlad and Chisora was beaten by Fury years ago but Haye was being lined up to fight Vitali!

If he does come back then its irrefutable that he didn't want to lose. He was getting a beating in sparring by the likes of Richard Towers Fury had a good camp and was on the verge of his break through fight. Haye would not have landed a thing and would have had to resort at leaping in. Fury would have been the first man to stop him at heavy and Haye didnt want Fury to have that distinction, especially over a Klitschko as it would suddenly legitimise Fury as britains best heavy, over Haye!
