At any rate, Haye is still a giant douche bag.
I'm not Ukrainian or German, and I have been a Klitschko fan since the first time I ever got to see them fight (I think the first fight I watched Wlad in was the Shufford fight) don't get me wrong I'd love to see quality American heavyweights, but I don't just root for someone because of their nationality. In my opinion more than a few Brits have some sort of Napoleon complex (ironically enough), the great empire is dusted and done, they are no more. Sure you've got SOME world class boxers, but not EVERYONE who comes out of England is the greatest thing this side of Ali. Americans don't think every decent American fighter is world class, not even the ones that win the belts...we like to see our fighters tested and they have to fight in a manner that is crowd pleasing as well. You no doubt saw how many Americans supported John Ruiz during his reign as title holder....not that many and for a number of reasons #1 He wasn't the best fighter, #2 He never tried to become the best fighter #3 He had an ugly style #4 He only got the WBA title because he was a Don King fighter and everyone knows it.

I'm just tired of the Naseem Hamed style personalities coming out of England, why can't you guys produce more Frank Bruno's?
