Comments Thread For: David Haye is Set To Have Surgery, Boxing Future is on The Ropes

He has had a solid career but he is one of those guys you think "what could he do if he stayed healthy?" Any baseball fans my age might remember a player named Eric Davis. He was the same type of injury prone athlete. So much talent but couldn't stay healthy. He would play 110 games & hit 30 hrs & steal 50-80 bases. It would leave you wondering "what if?". I look at Haye the same way. In such great shape but could strain his back eating pancakes or sneezing...

For those that don't know, the achilles tendon is regarded as the toughest in the body and for it to rupture/tear, theer has to be some severe force or continued, long term damage. I assume there was already inflammation there but for how long? I'm not sure. Paulie saido n the broadcast he wasi n Miami for training when Haye was there and he looked explosive. What was the time frame for Haye moving from Miami back to England and the injury occurring? I reckon the fight would have been postponed if Haye hadn't had all that hate from the fans from his previous postponements. the injurt itself is pretty easily treated but the recovery is going to be problematic if Haye wants to box again, especially at 36 and especially with his style.

Haye never had the body to compete at heavyweight. He used steroids to increase muscle mass, and tried developping an ambush style too taxing for him. It was never going to work against top heavies, and the Wlad farce showed it. You havent watched his career if you think that style was specifically for heavyweight lol

David is the most injury prone boxer out there. First the toe vs Klitschko and then the two pullouts vs Tyson Fury and now the achilles tendon. If you do some research you'll find he even had more dramas when he was at Cruiser Weight. As much as I love David Haye I think this could be the end.

They both cash out last night. Bellew now has another opportunity to cash out again if he gets one of Wilder or Parker at Wembley.

How about Bellew vs Roy Jones at cruiserweight? Or Bellew vs Hulk Hogan in crossover charity match?

Hate just seemed too bulky now. Always likely belles would be sharper. Hate offered no excuses as he hoped people would know iuts obvious he had bad leg. Hate can't retire on that. He needs to lose weight to beat belles though

Man I can't get over that 2 punch combo in your video??? That's a thing of BEAUTY!!! And Canyellow ALWAYS has a body shot in his combos??? PERFECTO!!! The old Roy Jones combo; touch to the temple, crush to the body. That left to the body is savage. I expect to see a LOT of body work from him next time out.

Cant really feel for Haye, he said some real messed up stuff to Bellew and got what was coming to him.

I appreciate people having plans. However, when he looks at the cheque offered for those fights and then looks at the cheque he'd receive for a rematch (against a guy coming off another major surgery no less), the plans may just change. Your spot on there. I've been saying the same. Both of them are after the money first, glory second. After decent careers you can't blame them either.

Haye is most likely done for good.

Bellew also plans just one last big fight this year but it wont be against Haye.He wants Wilder or Parker/Hughie Fury winner.Win,lose or draw Bellew retires after that fight because as quoted "I have only 12 months left in this sport" For bellew making money is most important for his family He will have a big fight in the summer and lose and make a few million in the process Then will have a huge box office rematch with Haye in 2018 and make another big whack and then retire for good.

As reigning WBC Cruiserweight World Champ he has an option to face Wilder.That would be a huge fight aswell in the UK.He makes more money at Heavyweight than going back to Cruiserweight.

If it's a full tear he's done and never coming back. If it's a partial tear then it's possible he may return for a rematch with Bellew. Don't see him ever being a legit threat to the top HW's again at this point though. Haye is only getting worse.He cant improve anymore and it doesnt make sense to fight journeymen again after surgery.Nobody wants to see that in the UK.

Time for Haye to retire. He's had a solid career. Made plenty of money. Time to focus on his new promotional company.

As expected. I think he'll look for a rematch after surgery and call it a day.

A 37 year old Haye post surgery and a defeat will be even worse than last night. If he continues to fight then he goes back to fighting journeymen because Haye cant compete with the elite anymore.
