Yes Adam I do accept that this is the case mate. The thing is, normally God has seen fit to put a flaw into those who are ridiculously attractive or popular with the ladies to make them more palatable to us mortal men.

David Beckham has a comedy voice which makes him non threatening. Robbie Williams has his bi polar mood swings and depressions, Tom Cruise has his total insanity. Michael Jackson had his weird tortured mind and Elvis died young, a fat, bloated, drugged up mess.

This is how it should be, their incredible talents, or sex appeal with the ladies tempered with some huge flaw, a cross to bear that keeps them humble.

But with David Haye, he no such affliction or burden to carry. He is just possessed of ridiculous buffness, cool hair, most likely a schlong like an SS troopers baton, and tremendous physical power.

Of course, the ladies love him, he has been a model, and his ego is as tall as the Eiffel Tower.

He's been given the easiest route to superstardom ever imo, with the easiest division unification imaginable, beating an over the hill Frechman and a weak club fighter to become the first unified champ since Holyfield (apparently when O'Neil Bell did it, it didn't count ) and then wins a heavyweight title against a complete freakshow with the most negative performance possible, and instead of being chastisted he gets HAILED AS A HERO, and LIKENED TO KING DAVID!!!

It's ridiculous. I keep looking for flaws, and the worst I can find is his nostrils are a bit flared. But rather than being an affliction, that just makes him more annoying when they start proudly expanding and pumping, when he tells us how great he is.

If something happened to him like he had an unsightly birthmark, or a hairy mole that made him look a bit gross I could get behind him. If he was a fat James Toneyesque mess I'd probably love the guy for his trash talking.

But in his current form of buff, proud and loud he's just completely unpalatable for me to get behind or support in any way.
