As a Haye fan I couldn't agree more with Frank Warren. Haye wanted big things from his move up to heavyweight but he's shot himself in the foot each time an opportunity to do something big arises. Haye may think he's doing good business but he's essentially committed career suicide over the last 24 or so months.
Haye calls out the Klitschko's, su****iously backs out of fights with both of them, fights soft and mismatched opposition instead, fights twice a year IF we're lucky, gets the deal he claimed to want from a Klitschko only to refuse the deal again because of some minor details. TV rights, really David? Look, I know everyone wants to be treated fairly and make as much money as possible but Haye refusing to sign on over the TV rights/money is ridiculous. Haye keeps bitching about money and fairness but it's he who signed his career and life away when he did business with 3 separate promoters!
If Haye wanted to fight Wladimir or Vitiali or was a fighter concerned with legacy he'd have done so already. His constant selection of soft opponents and excessive inactivity tell me that Haye's not really interested in fighting. Boxing is solely a business to him nothing more. Ironically Haye's a terrible business person as evidenced by his deals with Saurland, Goldenboy, and King as well as the fact that even with a non 50/50 split, he stands to make much more money fighting a Klitschko just once than he does against anyone else. My guess is that he simply wants to milk his WBA trinket for as long as possible. Make less money fighting guys who pose little risk a few more times should bring in a few dollars, plus its safe and guarantees he'll be able to do it again.
I'll route for him should he ever get into the ring against Wladimir or Vitali, but Haye's all talk. You know if spent the last two years fighting instead of talking and "resting" he'd have much more drawing power. I guess fighting more than once or twice a year poses to much of a risk though eh?
Haye is the antithesis of what he claimed he would be at heavyweight and it's all his doing! Haye's a waste of time and his recent silence speaks volumes about his position. When two fighters want a fight to happen...it happens, that really sums it up for me.
