IMO he lost his chance to win over the fans in the US by backing out of the fights vs Wlad and Vitali. I still wouldn't like the guy but I'd at least have some respect for him had he followed through with his challenge.
Things can change in one fight though Lyle. Calzaghe had been round years without really hitting big fame, but then he beat Lacy very convincingly and bam he was a superstar.

Now if Haye, a good looking (without being gay), Trash talking, exciting fighter who lets face it is in the glamour division that is short of a bit of glamour these days, does take on a Klit after Audley and does win on HBO and it is good to watch, then I think that the American public will take to him.
