Very clear UD... but if Calzaghe's effort was poetry then to be fair Wlad's was a christmas cracker joke.

Imagine if Joe fought a 130lb fighter and did just enough to keep him at bay.
Dog fighting Wlad was not just a risk... It was a 100% way to get stopped.

Haye had the choice to sign the fight and he chooses to fight at HW. It's all down to him, the parameters are what they. There should be no excuses.

Haye couldn't walk the talk and he found out the hard way. A routine win for Wlad and a very negative showing from Haye.

Yup, he chose Wlad... He could have quite easily milked cruiserweight for years and years but chose to test himself with the hardest fight he could.

The only way he was going to see if he was strong enough for Wlad was by being in the ring with him... and he quickly found out he wasn't. Not much shame in that tbh

But he didn't test himself. That's kind of the issue at hand.
