    The only thing Haye has wasted is everyones time and money, not least Tyson Furys.

    Tyson has chased him back in to retirement.

    When wlad loses to Fury Haye will announce his retirement for good. He is waiting for Wlad to unify and then try to jump in again. He wouldn't have a hope in hell anyway but thats what he's waiting for. As iv said probably dozens of times, Haye couldn't live with a loss to Fury.

    I didn't see him, but I don't like a big face either. Lol

    He still owes me money from tickets and hotels due to two cancelled fights

    I wouldnt be surprised if he announced a comeback at some point soon - but will probably withdraw from fight a few weeks before

    Only wanted the big fights and couldn't be arsed taking on the fringe fighters to get there

    How many fights did he have - 25 or so ? Defo not 30 I don't think
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    True but then he sold his soul against Audley debacle and Wlad effort. Chisora fight was a side show.

    I know this is a UK message board but come on people. No matter what the record book says Haye was not a heavyweight champion. There are multiple reasons Valuev wasn't the champion when Haye cherry picked him.

    Haye did fine with his career. He did all he could and more. I say more because not only did he do all he could do but he tricked people into thinking he had greater ambitions. Tricked them repeatedly.

    UK message board? There's more USA posters here than Brits.

    I don't think so, he achieved pretty much all he could.


    He could have won the IBF belt at cruiser but other than that not much else, his success at heavy was always going to be brief.


    It shouldn't be a knock on him that he did all this inside 30 fights. Him being a prick for letting people down shouldn't come into it either.

    He had a good run, champion in two weight classes, but yeah it's a shame we didn't get to see more of him. He was a fantastic talent, quick agile HW with huge power in both hands, very exciting style and personality for the HW division but I guess his heart wasn't really in it anymore. Shame we didn't get to see him in more fights.
