I'm not ANTI-Haye or ANTI-Wlad. I just wanted a good fight.... damn it.

[:::PSL:::]

I don't really see the point you are making. Wlad beat Haye because he simply too big, too good and the better fighter. I don't think Haye could have done anything different in all honesty.

Would you have preferred that there had been no hype? No intense rivalry for the past few years? No massive fight that got everybody talking?

You would have rather Haye would have quietly gone about his business and we'd have had no excitement or potential excitiment for the past couple years at all?

Because I disagree completely.

The Wlad Haye rivalry has been the only fun thing in the heavyweight division for the past few years. It generated interested and you seem to be wishing it had never happened now becuase Wlad dominated in the fight?

That's silly.

Haye talked a great fight, he fought a disappointing one, but one that was realistic considering the disparity in size and skill.

He's at least given us plenty to talk about the last three years or so so I don't see how it's been bad for boxing.

If you are disappointed he didn't put up a better effort, then imagine how he feels.

Then I'll put it this way:

For all the shit Haye talked for years BEFORE the fight, his effort was less than spectacular, let's put it that way. He built up the fight by insulting the Klits and talking more than trash than the city dump. He single-handedly got people interested in a HW fight for the first time in years.

And then he delivered nothing. Rounds with one punch thrown....... shameful diving and dozens of looks at the referee, as if it were Wlad's fault. Lame excuses about toes, when real fighters have fought with broken hands and bum legs.

If you're going to talk the talk, you'd damn better walk the walk. ESPECIALLY when you've dragged a whole fan base with you, and spent years building the event. You don't seem to understand that a good effort, regardless of the outcome, would have generated at least a bit of respect for Haye. But as well put by one of your countrymen: He fought like a pussy.

Now...... what is it about my point you do not understand.

?

Exactly!!! That's why I actually respect Ricky Hatton more with his courageous efforts vs PBF and PAC despite being sparked out. At least he actually tried tried to win, Haye is a fucking shame.

I didn't see Hatton do anything more offensively than Haye did The only difference is he suffered two admittedly hilarious and entertaining knockouts, the first where he ko'd himself into the ring post, and the second where he was sprawled out flat on his back in true comedic style.

Upto that point what was he doing to make the fights entertaining other than getting his ass kicked though?

It would've been more entertaining if one of them got sparked like Hatton.
