Haye may get a pasting but I think he has great ambition, more heavies like Haye needed.
#1 Uh huh and who gave him the feeling it was time to retire? And Daxx inspite of the "TKO" Lewis gave to Vitali after that fight in my opinion Lennox never had a chance to prove himself MORE than by giving a rematch and TRULY winning the fight.....that cut was a fluke and Lennox is damned lucky it went down the way it did #1 Lennox was losing #2 Lennox shot his load in the final round and Vitali was still standing


#2 EVERYBODY is in boxing to be the best, NOBODY would turn down a fight with Wlad or Vitali (bar anyone going for the less respected WBA belt)....it means big time money and the chance at achieving the highest goal in heavyweight boxing. Just because Haye WANTS the fight doesn't mean much to me....let's see how much he wants the fight after the bell rings!
I thought the opposite i see Vitali Klitschko have nothing left after the 6th round, he done diddly squat when he got hit with that huge uppercut. And he was holding on for dear life right at the end of that round.

I admire Lennox Lewis for retiring at the right time, he'd beaten everyone he had to beat except for Riddick Bowe. But that wasn't his fault that fight never happened. He also achieved everything you could as an Amateur.

I wish more fighters were like Lennox Lewis how i would of loved, had RJJ retired after beating John Ruiz. He would be considered one of the greatest fighters of all time, but now he carried on too long. Losses to Johnson/Tarver x2/Calzaghe/ Have badly hurt his legacy.
