Is Haye going to Get Credit where it is due?

[moofo]

i'd like to know what WLADOWNS has to say on this subject... after all he wrote haye off even before the mormeck fight and seemed pretty dam certain he would get beat. David put a great performance in on saturday night and deserves a lot of respect. To win the title in the fashion he did on hostile turf speaks volumes and if he was american im sure most people on this site would be sniffing his jockstrap

I'm sure deep down he knows Haye did a great Job.

those are some wicked boxing trunks haye has.
who makes those? i see ricky and khan wear similar ones.

[moofo]

He used to model for Armani , Abercrombie etc....
Perhaps he gets them to rustle them up?

I must admit that Haye proved me wrong, he impressed me against Mormeck and I give him a ton of credit. As I expected, all the Limey's creamed their pants after the fight and came on here saying Haye would easily KO Wlad and all that other ridiculous bull****. Haye dosen't have the defense or chin to compete with the top Heavyweights, he keeps his left hand too low and he would be a sitting duck for the big punchers like Wlad,Peter,Chagaev,etc. I hope Haye gets a title shot against Chagaev so he can get brutally knocked out and shut you guys up.

The guy has just won the World title in just 20 fights.
For a British boxer this is outstanding.
Mormeck was the recognised Undisputed champ as well.
Not just an alphabet title holder.
He also went to Mormecks own Backyard and took his title after overcoming adversity in the 4th round to do it.
Any other division people would be raving about it.
For some unknown reason the Cruiserweight Title fight was ignored in the usa and Setanta only bought the rights for the fight at the last minute.
Those that don't have the internet and missed it are damned unlucky IMO.
In Britain we have people Lauding over a Hyped Amir Khan who gets plaudits for beating nobodies and is nowhere near World class level yet.
People are saying "Haye is ducking Enzo Maccarenelli".
That is ****ing sad.
I mean he just beat the BEST out there.
Enzo has one name on his record in 32 year old Wayne Braithwaite who lost 2 of his previous 3 bouts and had only fought once in 2 years.
Hatton won his Title in 39 fights after 8 years.
Calzaghe won his WBO strap in pretty much the same time scale as Haye but against an aged Eubank and was not classed as the Undisputed king of the Supermiddle division at the time.
Why isn't Haye getting the respect he deserves?

I for one am proud to have another World champ from these shores.
And I will be rooting for the guy at Heavyweight regardless.
He has shown that he means Business by fighting the best and isn't scared to go to war if need be.
Big respect David Haye.

Of course he deserves credit for winning a fight and capturing the title, but what else is there to give? He's obviously not even a natural Cruiser weight, so we'll see how he does where he actually belongs. But you're right, winning the lineal title so early on is big..

who actualy said that haye would KO wlad at the moment?

[elbonzoseco]

I'd like to see Haye against Povetkin. That would be a good fight and I think Povetkin should take that route after he wins the ibf tournament (I don't think Wlad would do him good right now, same with Haye).

Eubank was 31, not very AGED if you ask me. And Haye's been KO'd by a cruiserweight and then dropped by another one in his last fight. He'll be lucky to last a full round at heavy.

do you understand the difference between a ko and a tko??? haye was not ko'd against thompson. Yes he was dropped by mormeck in the 4th and he was hurt. but this is a guy who had to lose 2 stone in weight for this fight, and 2 stone of muscle not fat which incidentally is much harder to do. his energy levels were massively reduced and he was fighting on empty and yet he still managed to stop the linear champ on his own turf
