Its the old cliche... Hint that this may be your last fight and all of a sudden a mediocre fight is a big fight. Double the interest... How long has hopkins been doing it? Even Pacman does it every other fight... Failing that you 'retire' and then surprisingly comeback and again - you up the hype and sell more tickets.

Its been done to death and frankly I'm amazed so many of the switched on guys here have bought it...

Don't let an intense dislike of david haye make you dumb enough to actually buy this shit...

I agree I don't buy it at all...IMO it is a lame attempt to draw a fight with Wlad...Almost as if he will come to fight now because if he doesn't he knows there will always be a question mark on his resume....Haye needs to do more fighting less talking...It is great to be a trash talker but lets get some REAL names on the resume before acting as if we matter as much as the media makes him think he does....I mean lets be honest lets pretend Sultan or Chagaev still held belts a Haye was caling them out and playing games with them like the ones that have been goiong on with the Klitschkos back and forth....Would anyone really care? NO it would have been swept under the carpet if neither man faced him....
