There was an occasion when he was talking with a reporter and some guy standing behind me rudely butted in and asked for a picture in the middle of an interview. Haye however said sure no problem and told the interviewer to wait while he posed for a pic. Great guy.
I know a few people who know David Haye, & they always say he's cool & down to earth like that, funny that he gets this rep as a guy who's up his own arse when he's the opposite. Something that was also apparent with how Mayweather acted the other day.
I remember seeing Hatton & he wouldn't even sign gloves for kids which I thought was kinda fucked up, although I try to put that more down to the people around him like Speak & Williams, & one of the guys at my gym said Calzaghe refused to take pictures with people in Vegas before the Mayweather-Hatton fight.
