What is wrong with people today?

[jamiebhoy]

Spot on, haye was only hyping the fight, he knew how bad it would have turned out to go head to head with a giant like that when he has a suspect chin . I think people watch too much Rocky and believe the hype of a fighter.

This wasn't a great fight but Haye did what he had to and that was an intelligient way to go about things on the night, after all the basic premise is to hit and not be hit right.

[ninjaspy3]

Yep, I pretty much thought that was the point too.

[The Boxer]

I have the same question. I love when a fighter who is said to have ran the whole fight ends up out landed his opponent. So

[antimoron]

i think Haye did what he has to do.. he fought an intelligent fight.. He is brave but not stupid..

[CFH]

I think the problem with Haye was more that the way he was running his mouth led people to expect a certain type of performance from him. On the other hand, there are always going to be those boxing fans who just want to see an out and out brawl and will complain when that doesn't materialize. I don't understand that mentality, but it is prevalent

When someone talks as much crap as Haye about how he is going to fight toe to toe, claims he has a crowd pleasing style and is going to destroy his opponent you cant fault people for being disappointed when he plays the hit and run game.........

If you are going to talk the talk you have to walk the walk and Haye didnt so people will trash him and Haye deserves it........

Doesnt Mayweather say every fight he will ko and destroy his opponents?

Baldomir springs to mind. Come to think of it dont most fighters?

I like a fight to be entertaining. Look at todays fights.

Haye/Valuev was boring
Angulo/the Pavlik lookalike was exciting.
Dawson/Johnson had its moments, but was on the whole tedious.

More people are always going to be drawn to the likes of Tyson than Lewis. Angulo is such a fun little fighter, he is my man of the day.

I will plain out say, that is my problem with David Haye. He runs his mouth too fucking much, he said he was going to KO Valuev and his punch output was HORRIBLE.

Wladimir makes no excuses about his style, he is what he is, he fights using his height reach and talent, he still gets the KO for the most part. If Haye wants to do the same, then fine, but he must stop running his mouth about being exciting, by all means talk trash but when you talk about how you will fight don't bullshit.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Your smear campaign wont work Lyle.
Haye's number will now be permamnently higher than Wladimirs.

Why, becuase Wladimir is as booring inside the ring as he is out of it... Even when he is knocking guys out, it's dreadfully boring

That's not a good sign mate
