Haye is everywhere!!

[HattonTheHammer]

He's been all over BBC world for the past 3 days. I don't quite get it, I had never imagined it as being a megafight. It certainly didn't look like a megafight of note.

I've watched the fight properly now and think Haye did enough to win, but it was a stinking bore. Haye/Wlad....who will dare throw a punch....yawn.

I told a mate a week before this fight that due to the intrigue surrounding valuev this would be huge for haye if he were to come away with a win

He`ll make his millions when he gets home thats for sure, us lot on here know he beat the weakest heavyweight of the 3. But the media outlets are having a field day informing everyone how a born and bred brit beat a 7foot 2 monster!!

The BBC is telling everyone Haye is THE Heavyweight champ of the world. Which is true, but it also disregards the fact that there are two better fighters than him with better records who are proven champions also. Haye is a paper belt holder, it isn't as significant as the BBC are making out. I'm genuinely pleased that Haye did well, but the media is going a tad over the top here.

Its far from the truth

Wlad owns 2 of the 4 respected versions of the belts. He is heavyweight champion of the world

If haye beats vitali even then it would just make him co-holder of the heavyweight championship of the world.

Miles you sound like an anorak Of couse he isnt THE world champion or even the best heavyweight in the world but if you were trying to sell news would you have as your headline....

WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!

or

David Haye won a portion of the world title last night against the weakest opposition.

That would be my headline although I'd preface David with 'dismal' and add 'in controversial fashion' after weakest opposition.

Yeah, I know!

I just expect a little more from my BBC sometimes. The news goes all over the world and people generally listen to the BBC and are now thinking "righty, the British guy is now the heavyweight champ!".

He does deserve props for getting the win, I grant him that. Dull fight, but he did enough in the end. Just think the Beeb were a little over the top. I came home today and they were on about it again.

I work just outside burnley and the local radio station said: NO ONE EXPECTED HAYE TO WIN AGAINST THE 7 FOOT MONSTER, BUT HE DID US PROUD AND CAME HOME ON TOP OF THE BOXING WORLD, lol.

I love it!

He was the favourite leading up but when the bell rang he was the outsider.

That's what i'm getting at, the press are just jumping on the bandwaggon really, but whether or not you like Haye, it is only good for boxing, we need it to get this kind of coverage if it is ever to return to it's former glory.

Yeah I know you were don't worry, I'm rolling my eyes at the media not you.

It just made me laugh the whole buildup to the fight. They kept showing Valuev against Owen Beck and trying to make out he was like King Kong or something when against evertybody else he has been embarrassingly poor.

David Haye has been delusional about this too, telling us how he made Valuev look like an amatuer, half way through the fight they regave the fight odds and Valuev was a big favourite, most thought Haye was losing!

It was an abysmal fight and a waste of money for all those bought the pay per view, but to Haye it was an epic war against a worthy adversary.

He beat a fucking shit paper belt champion and he did it in the most negative way imaginable.

It's making me angry that he's receiving glory for the kind of performance that ruined the careers of many other fighters in the eyes of fightfans, Raheem and Ruiz etc.

It was duller than any Wlad fight, duller than any Ruiz fight even, quite honestly it may have been the most boring fight I have ever seen, on a par with Chris Byrd vs De Varyl Williamson.
