" David "Haye is not considering any opponents right now, he needs rest"

[Gandalf]

Says the English teacher.

Come on miles, you asked for that

An English teacher who has expectations about fighters in the sport he loves most, I might add. You don't see me cancelling lessons at the last minute because I'm not happy with certain students nor the money I myself originally negotiated.

I am a full time English teacher and a consummate pro in what I do. More than what can be said about part time Haye and his once a year approach to his own profession. There is no room for slacking in any profession, especially in one where your shelf life is so short.

I just think Haye should stay busy and push on for greatness. If he is serious about retiring at 31, where is the sense in taking any extended break in 2010 after beating the mighty John Ruiz? It makes no sense to me.

You wouldn't do your job for free though, right? And it doesn't entail the possiblilty of you getting dead... Unless you come across a mental student of course

No, I wouldn't work for free. I agree that's not right, but Haye's reluctance to fight more than once or twice a year has been well noted and now talk of extended breaks. It's just not how a top level fighter should be. He's just had a fight and deserves a break, but any other fighter would be looking to bounce back within 3-5 months.
