He got off the floor to beat Mormeck and came back against Fragomeni with half his face hanging off.

What he did last night for five rounds was ridiculous. He would have had more chance of winning if one of his arms were disabled instead of his footing.
If you mean me mate then I should clarify that I don't think Haye was ever a quitter, but I still didn't expect him to show that kind of heart last night.
I tend to be ambivalent towards Haye, not in either 'camp' but have a lot more respect now than before.
That injury was an instant fight stopper in my opinion.

Speaking generally I don't really understand people that don't give credit where it due - regardless of their opinion on a person.

Speaking to a couple of friends today and the general response is 'yeah well Haye's a cunt'.
And I'm saying well your entitled to your opinion but I'm not discussing his position on the cunt-scale. I'm trying to discuss the fact that fighting for 5 rounds on one leg is fucking brave. The two shouldn't really influence each other.
