Haye and Hype

[Hornfinger]

I have been thinking about last nights effort by Haye , and I have come to the conclusion that Haye's talking and baiting had him believing his own hype.
He talked so much I think he convinced himself he was far better than he actually is.
.

I agree, other than the amateur pedigree and multi-weight multi-world championships Haye is nothing more than say a Charlie Z, talking himself into situation alien to him and out of his depth.

I have been thinking

I think this was your first error mate

Being a good unpaid fighter and a cruiser champ doesnt automatically make you a great hw, which is my point.
Haye really convinced himself he was great.

I think so too, Wlad really taught him a lesson. He will certainly never be as gobby again.

Not really. If Wlad had ko'ed him and he'd left the ring horizontal then I'd agree he'd been taught a lesson, but it went the distance and haye's face wasn't exactly mashed up at the end of it.


The fight was never going to live up to the hype when you consider the styles of the fighters involved.
