Former Haye Fans perspective.

[Hornfinger]

I've lost no respect for haye. I'm not dissapointed with him, I'm not angry with him.

You know why?

It has no baring on my life WHAT SO EVER. I have my own life and don't need to live through another person or sports team.

Haye got in the ring with a bigger man fighting for the biggest prize in his proffesion. I would urge anyone who is critisizing haye to look at their own life and think about what it is they do and a what point they plan on reaching the very top of it. Then think to yourself if you just fell slightly short but had a load of people moaning at you for it.

It's boxing, a sport, a form of entertainment to brighten up the lives of the mundane. It's nothing to get upset about.

If a rematch happens, which I think it will, more than likely the out come will be the same, but I'll still be supporting haye throughout.

Haye is going to go down as the biggest Fraud in heavyweight championship history. Way to go! Haye is the Enron of boxing. hahaha

Lol no I think most the current crop of american heavyweights already beat haye to that a long time ago. But what ever makes you feel better about your own countries failures.

The closest America got to a David Haye type fighter (a trash talking pussy) is Kevin Johnson....and I'll bet he threw and landed more punches than Haye did.

Have you actually seen the punch stats? It's not like wlad threw double the amount of punches haye did. It was pretty even. Most of wlads were just jabs anyway.

Haye's post fight excuses are hardly surprising and in some ways are actually a healthy mindset for him to adopt,

Numerous psychological studies have shown that elite sportsman are more character disordered than ordinary people, which means that they blame their failures on external situations and factors rather than taking the blame themselves, as a nuerotic would do.

It may make him look a bit of a dick, but in his own mind I'm convinved he absolutely believes what he is saying is true. It will help him get over the loss and pick himself up mentally should he choose to fight again.

To hate him because of what is his natural, instinctive mindset is a bit silly. It's that self belief that got him to where he is and is actually a huge asset for any high achiever. It makes him look silly to us now, but the way he can rationalise failures away is a definiter key component for success and high performance so you shouldn't be too harsh on him for it.

Wlad threw a lot more punches than Haye, almost double in fact. Haye's output was shocking.

I dont pull for a fighter just because they are American. I like Wlad because he is respectful, classy, and I like his style. Mostly the fact that he KOs people with booming shots and busts people up. He is German/Ukranian. As for americans, I cant stand Mayweather and would hope Pacman KOs him but I believe Mayweather would beat him. I will be pulling for Froch against Andre Ward. I didnt like Froch to begin with but the loss humbled him and I like him better now. I hate Ward and his style. So saying the Americans are crap doesnt really bother me.

Let's put all this stuff about fan loyalty aside because as I mentioned on other occasions,I only saw Haye fight once and I was not impressed with him as a heavyweight. I did what all of you did and did not receive what I expected, a competition for the largest prize in the ring. It was a waste of cold beer to sit and watch the human version of the European Grand Prix auto races without a motor in involved. I turned to the local Latin channels and I watched tough Mexican fighters do their thing for a great deal less money.

[JazMerkin]

What this shows is just how unreliable compubox is. Two different sets of people calculating punches thrown by ringside had completely different results.
